What bios does it have?

Are they long/short?

Take everything out, except for the bare minimum, and put each piece of hardware on in turn until it gets back to where it was.


Have you got anouther system where you can try the hardware.

btw. if anything is DOA than you can get it replaced with the manufactorer fo free.

make sure the mobo/CPU and RAM speeds are all in synch and supported. The RAM should just underclock to whatever the CPU runs at, but the mobo MUST support the FSB speed of the CPU.
