new mainbord + problem :]

by spirAcy • 21 Oct 2008, 11:42 • Journals
Heyho,

today I have got my new mainboard ( ASUS P5Q ) + CPU ( E8500 ).
I installed all correctly power connections etc. but the pc doesnt start.

The ventilator works from the cpu + graka.

I think the problem is my memory I have 4 gb 533 mhz.

The Mainboard supports only 800 - 1600?!
So the memory is the problem or ?

Pls help me :)

Edit it works now made everythink new power connection etc :P

Can't be 100% sure but yeah that would be the logical problem.

Can you borrow/buy some faster RAM to check?

I hope my friend got a faster ram. I'll chek it later with his ram :]. because he is working oloolooloo.
I hope it`s the ram :(

Take your RAM out and try to boot. You should get a warning beep.

It shouldnt be a problem, but better to test with a better ram..

if the ram wasnt working, pc speaker would beep like hell...
▼
jnO 21 Oct 2008, 15:23
Not always. The beep denotes 'no RAM detectable' if the RAM speed is not sufficient for the board it will detect the RAM but will not be able to boot. There would likely be no warning beep in this instance :)

the probability of ram not working because of wrong speed is so fucikng small that almost impossible
Parent

Its nothing to do with the RAM not working, boards that dont support slower speed memory can quite easily and frequently fail to boot if they have lower spec RAM installed from the outset.
