x_6985381 Posted March 31, 2007 CID Share Posted March 31, 2007 As most of you know I recently upgraded my computer components and well now theres problems. Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz ECS - NFORCE 570 Slit-A 550Watt Areocool PSU G.Skill 2Gig 4-4-4-12 RAM 667 DDR2 I've installed everything to what I believe is the correct placing. I installed the motherboards sound indicator and I get a long loud beep. This continues on for about 5 seconds then stops then does it again. What have I done wrong with this set-up I'll post pictures for all you following this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted March 31, 2007 CID Share Posted March 31, 2007 Nice man just for future reference you really shouldn't lay a motherboard on carpet, or even build the computer when laying the case down on carpet. carpet + metal + motherboard = BAD EDIT: to fix your problem start removing 1 part at a time then turn it back on to see if it works. continue till you find the bad part.

Damn thing wont boot though I'm pretty depressed. yea you found out the hard way, you wont do that again, Look at my first post to a possible fix. also make sure the processor is installed in the socket correctly, and the heatsink is installed correctly on it., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted March 31, 2007 CID Share Posted March 31, 2007 The "beep " you speak of , sounds to me like it may be a memory stick issue. Possibly a bad dimm, or installed incorrectly? reset the bios, "by jumper or remove the battery", and check your memory. Like .s1 said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kamil234 Posted March 31, 2007 CID Share Posted March 31, 2007 a beep means there's a hardware configuration change. it could be anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_6985381 Posted March 31, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 31, 2007 Alright I've decided that since it starts fine without any ram, although no video appears, I believe it's the RAM will newegg accept ram if you incorrectly purchased the wrong type , anyways I put the power unit and the core 2 duo stock heatsink to good use in this computer, until I decide to ship it to them, If I can, If I can't God I'll be mad, I was also thinking since I've seen all the reviews of how bad this motherboard is, that I might just ship the motherboard back and try and get a new one, what do you think? If I should try a new motherboard, please help me find one that works with this Memory! Ram's a little more expensive than a motherboard Effin Newb Newegg Purchase some would say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram's a little more expensive than a motherboard Effin Newb Newegg Purchase some would say ship the motherboard back and the ram back, tell newegg that they didnt work and i want my money back i'm going to get a better motherboard and ram. then once you get the money back get this motherboard and ram. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131032 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220088 I have both and i can not complain they are both very good. then once you get them DO NOT INSTALL THEM ON THE CARPET.

x_6985381 Posted April 1, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 1, 2007 CC, Damn it, I was hoping it wasn't the ram, and I still don't think it was, the motherboard is said to be picky on what ram it accepts, could it be as easy as that it doesn't accept that ram, It lists Ram its used with in the manual, Maybe it just is that. Anyone ever have that problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone ever have that problem? Ok then your covered dont worry about anything, if you have any problems getting your money back call the CC company and dispute that charge and they will give you your money back no questions asked. This is what happens when you buy a cheap motherboard, you do get what you pay for most of the time. It could have been something you did, so just return the mobo and the ram and get a new ones.
