Hey dudes today I got my Corsiar 800d and H50 and some new memory.
Install went fine, moved everything over all fitted nicely and everything looked great.
However now i get no signal to my monitor when i boot the pc, at first i thought i had done some thing to the gfx or the memory so swapped them out one at a time with my old one's and still nothing.
When i press the power button the computer sounds like it comes on for half a second then goes off then comes on again and tries to boot. All the fans come on my gfx card comes on. there is a green light on my asus pq5 pro so that seems to have power but all i get on the monitor is no signal.

Anyone got any ideas pleease? I will buy cookies for whoever helps me solve this...:(

update :
OK so did some fiddling about today when i got in form work.
Seems that my asus wont boot with more than 2gb of ram in
It runs fine with my 2x 1gb of pc 6400 and fine with 1 stick of my 2gb pc 8500 but if i try up it to 4gb it wont work.
Any reason for this as my mobo should easily be able to run the 4gb

Anyone any ideas

reset the bios ,check that the mobo isn't shorting and the h50 is seated properly and if you can check the psu.whenever i do a rebuild i always leave the side off plug it in and turn it on to make sure all fans are working you should get 1 beep than after a couple of seconds another beep to indicate no monitor etc

yeah should be no compatibility problems with the ram have you tried a stick in a different PC just to test
 
good luck out of all the builds I've completed had two that brand new memory was at fault so it does happen.
 
I'd try check myself to make sure it is the ram that's faulty, because if it's not you'll be back to square one with the same ram

Must be the ram surely, my pc seems to work fine when I boot it with my old 2gb of xms pc6400, but won't boot at all with my new 4gb of pc 8500.
Well it boots (by the sound of it) but I get no signal through the monitor.
 
Try reseat the CPU and see if there is screen display.

Use only 1 known good working RAM at a time to test.
Make sure the power connectors including the 4 pin for VGA also installed corrected.

Hope this works.

.ps i'm only running a 32bit os so i know it will only be able to recognise 3gb but should still boot up with 4gb

Do you not have to up the memory voltage for 4gb to work ?

Voltage: 2.1V

Ok didnt no this never had to look in the bios or anything (never overclocked) , but just looked in the bios and under DRAM voltage it says its on auto so shouldnt this change the vaults depending on the amount of Ram?
 
OK been looking on the net and it seems a few people have had this problem and a lot are saying to upgrade my BIOS to the latest version.

Could someone tell me how I do this? Keep reading i need a floppy drive -which i dont have is there another way I can do it?
