Hey guys,

I finally got all my parts today, and everything installed nicely, windows 7 installed normally.

Went back onto the PC like 10 minutes ago, and it just will not boot up now for some reason! I get 2 LED lights flickering on the motherboard, the CPU & DRAM LED's. No booting up beep either.

I can't look at the bios or anything! I don't know what to do, I was really looking forward to this but now it just seems more hassle than its worth!

Can someone help please???

My parts are:

AMD Phenom x4 955BE
Asus Crosshair Formula IV
Gigabyte 6870
XMS3 4GB RAM 1600MHz 9.9.9.24
Coolermaster GX 650w
 
Are you sure all the cables are in correctly? Might be worth unplugging and replugging everything to make sure.

What PSU do you have?
 
Its the Coolermaster GX 650w.

I just dont understand what happened. Installed Windows 7 perfectly, then I came off it, then it just wouldnt boot up again. Soo confused.
 
Cmos reset is the little push switch on the rear io at the top, the lower one is for rog connect. Press that if that doesnt do the trick ,then find the MemOk button about halfway up on the right side of the board and press and hold that whilst trying to boot it up.
Also check your memory is in the black sockets, rather than the red as theyre the recommended ones, and make sure you are seating the Ram correctly as the way they clip in on this board can be kind of weird a lot of the times this problem is caused by the Ram simply not being sat low enough due to the way it clips, you need to give it a good shove at the end where there is no movable clip first.
But like everyone else has said, make sure all your cables are in right, and dont forget the 8 pin connection too.

I love you.

It worked, thank you soo much! Phew!!
 
Wait, I've got one last problem.

When I installed it, the system was only recognizing 2GB of RAM, when I have 4GB of RAM installed. Does anyone know how to get the system to recognise all of it?

BTW, I am running Windows 7 64bit.
