Hi,

I have just built my computer back up after changing the mobo and the cpu fan. It now wont power on and stay on and i dont know what to do about it.

Spec: gigabyte GA-965p-ds4 rev 3.3
Intel pentium d 930
1 gig corsair ram
512mb XFX graphics card
hyper power supply (600watts i think)

it powers on for about 15seconds then turns off, then onn again for 15secs, then off etc etc etc

the only beep code i got out of it was a set of 9 long beeps then it died again. That was after i disconected everything apart from 2 SATA hdd's and the dvd drive.

I think my wiring before i disconected everything was ok, i just dont know what could be causing this problem

HELP!!!

thanks in advance,
Chris

tried it with 1 stick of memory and it gave loads of short beeps then turned off.

would i be right in thinking that this means my power supply is faulty?

it still does the same thing after going through that list.

i have built it back up again with the old components and it works fine so i think this points towards a mobo problem?

what should i do? send it back? try as many different components as i can?

is there any known problems with this particular board that have a definate solution i can try?
