new build problem...

bbK · 14 Dec 2007 at 19:30

Hi there ive just put together my new build and getting a "checksum error" when trying to boot along with the siren noise.

So far ive gone into the bios loaded the optimized defaults, restarted and then it does the siren noise from the start and the monitor doesnt even come on.

I also tryed to up the volts on the RAM as i read somewhere that the bios changes it. (manufacturers defalt is 1.9-2.0 and it was @ 1.8 however when i change it 1.9 or 2.0 i tryed to boot and the sirens begin from the start and monitor doesnt come on.

Dont really know what else to try hense me coming to you guys, any suggestions are appreciated.

thanks

Spec
Abit IP35 Pro
Intel 2 quad pro Q6600

Siren noise ?, may be a daft question, but do you have 2x 6x Pins plugged into the GTX, asthey make a warning noise if you dont connect them.

If it's a siren noise, it's normally heat related to the cpu...

Definitely put some compound on the heatsink yeah?

checked the bios for the tmp and it was 27c
