OP OP sailpog Daemon Poster Messages 501 Mar 29, 2008 #12 still no luck... I've tried it with the 4 pin connecter If it would help i could film what happens to explain the problem better...

Luke Golden Master Messages 5,605 Location Vancouver, Canada Mar 29, 2008 #13 i wouldn't be able to view it (i have dial up) but other members might be able to help you... i think i know what its doing i just don't know why... Did you try putting the ram in different slots... could be a grounding problem, if all else fails take the mother board out of the case and try it then...

OP OP sailpog Daemon Poster Messages 501 Mar 29, 2008 #14 Thanks a huge amount for all the help you've given me. I changed the slot the ram was in and it booted! I'm now installing Vista. Thanks once again

Click to expand... no there has been some problems about the cpu not liking ram is certain slots... mak (think it was him)just had the same problem.

Nagasama disgruntled ex-moderator Messages 6,956 Location probably on the lake Mar 29, 2008 #18 but will it work if you add ram to those slots in the future? or do they just not work?
Luke Golden Master Messages 5,605 Location Vancouver, Canada Mar 29, 2008 #19 don't know,, mak just put them in the other slots when he got his new cpu if I'm not mistaken...
OP OP sailpog Daemon Poster Messages 501 Mar 30, 2008 #20 The ram i put in was the cheapest 512mb of ram i could find - £7 ($14) . When I've got some more money I'm gonna get this : OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8000C5 1000MHz ReaperX HPC Enhanced Bandwidth Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2RPX10004GK)
