Hello people, this is going to be a bit long, but I really need some help before I kill myself. Two days ago, all the parts I ordered arrived and I started building the pc.
When I powered on the beast everything seemed to be working fine.
I installed windows vista ultimate x64, installed some motherboard drivers and such, and when I installed the drivers that came with the CD for the Sapphire 4780 and rebooted, I got that “atikmdag.sys” BSOD which annoyed me beyond limits..
Many people suggested upgrading BIOS, switching slots of the RAM or sounds card etc, so I decided to do that.
I upgraded to the latest bios successfully, I took out the graphics card, RAM, and the sound card, to follow those suggestions and see if it works.
Also I changed the timings on the RAM to 4-4-4-12 and voltage to 2.1v as those are the default values for the RAM.
After I put the RAM and the graphics card back, I do not get any image on the monitor; it just will not turn on.
So what have I done wrong? I have run totally out of ideas…
I put the jumper on clear and removed the battery, but still nothing.
Tried to put the graphics card in the other slot below, which did not work either…
I am ready to give up…
Specs:
Asus P5Q Pro
Q9550 – Lapped – AC Freezer Pro 7 (working @ stock on ~25C)
Corsair XMS2 DHX 6400 C4, 2x 2GB
Corsair TX750W
Sapphire 4870 1GB – AC Accelero S1 Rev. 2 (All ramsinks fitted nice and tight, no heating problems or whatsoever, wonderful temps)
WD6400AAKS 640GB
