BenWhitey Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Ok, I tried using a 24pin 520watt PSU and the same thing happened. I'm running memtest on one stick of the ram now. I will keep you posted as to what happens. How long should I run it for? A few passes? I have 2 other sticks of the same RAM which I know work I will test on my computer to see if it works if memtest doesnt find any errors. Could it be that I need to update my bios? I haven't updated them since I got my board in like July/August. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Hello, HomelessBob If you clear the CMOS everything will reset to the default settings so you can safely insert the kingston memory and see what happens. Also if you are using 1 stick you must use the top orange slot. Make sure that all 4 power connectors are plugged into the board # 24pin ATX connector. # 4pin +12v P4 connector, near the ATX connector. # Floppy power connector, under the CPU socket. # Hard drive power connector, on top the chipset fan. # Remove all of your hard drives. # Place the GFX card in the other PCIe slot, make sure it is inserted correctly. Power the PC and see what happens. BenWhitey If you have a wincester core CPU you must change CPC to disabled. And always use the orange slots.

BenWhitey Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 I have Newcastle core. I am about to clear CMOS. I looked at the diagnostic LEDs and I saw that 3 were on when my computer made the long beeps. I am hesitant to try the other RAM I have that is exactly the same because it is for another computer I am building for a friend's son's birthday and I dont want to have to RMA it because it won't get back by Saturday. I will keep you guys updated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenWhitey Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 YAY I cleared CMOS and it all works fine now . Much thanks. I hope that you're solution is as easy as mine was. Thanks all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenWhitey Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 I was wrong. It works but not without a problem. I have to clear the CMOS in order to turn on my computer. Otherwise it will go into long beeps like it did before. I am thinking that I need to update my BIOS or something of that sort. Any ideas??? EDIT: Don't answer me here. I decided to make nother thread because this is a separate problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
