havent plugged speaker in...dont know eher eit goes- got a p182 case if anyone can help? ill got and try my old mem ory in it now

ok heres the latest, i changed the ram and it still did the same, so i put my new ram back in and put in my old graphics card, and everything works!

So i assume my new 8800gt is faulty? just seems a bit odd?

is there anything else i can try? in the bios there is something about pci-e 1.0 and 1.0a, which one should it be?

cheers
