NEED HELP URGENT!! Comp won't power up!

I'd RMA the motherboard, if it were me.

Sounds like more hassle than it's worth.

ok so i have just got home and plugged comp in and powers up, but still won't run 2 sticks of ram in any slots, thinking about it could it be the motherboard battery that has gone? is this a possibility or is it more than likely to be new mobo time

?

just curious babyface have you heard anything back from your bro about the comp?

ok, got it back and psu is at fault, bro tried an old 450w psu and works ok, strange thing is he hasn't connnected the molex power conector or floppy connector on the mobo and it boots ok, when I first built the machine it would even post until these 2 power connectors where on, oh well.

As above, psu problem, new one in and all is well

ahh ok looks nice and easy (and cheap) for you, where as mine looks like it could be expensive!

another update guys both ram modules are now working comp booting but in single chan mode (slots 1+2) :confused:

but still won't boot in slots 2+4 which my board recommends for dual channel
