Hi to all,
After seemingly resolving my previous prob [see: PSU/MSI D.O.T. Motherboard HELP PLEASE (-5V pin???) topic] I booted up my brand new built PC.
With my MoBo [MSI K8N SLI Platinum] I got what they call a 'D2 Bracket' that has 4 diagnostic LED built in (along with a couple of USB 2 slots).
Well, as the PC boots up, it VERY quickly flashes combinations of these LED's (each representing a different boot up function), but it's hanging at the 'Memory Initialisation Test'.
This, apprently signifies that my memory is either damaged or not installed correctly.
However, I know for a fact that the memory is fine (Samsung PC3200 DDR400 2x512mb & 2x256mb), but to double check I took out a 512mb stick of exactly the same stuff that happens to be in my wifes PC and put that in, and it is still coming up with he same thing
Could there be another explanation for this, or is it that Samsung RAM is basically incompatible with this MoBo?
Any ideas?
Any help graefully received
