Cpu: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 S775 3.0ghz 4mb Cache 1333FSB The memory I am using is: INFINEON 256MB 1RX16 PC2-3200U-333-11-C1 2x sticks of Memory. They are out of a dell PC as the ones I ordered do not fit in the DIMM slots. They are DRR and the mobo is DRR2 compatible. I want to make sure the current componants are correct before buying more Kit.

Hi Hardware_dave I did as you said. Unplugged Everything except the CPU and PSU. I powered it up and got a long repeating tone. I then plugged the memory in and there was silence. Then I tried it with the Graphics card and monitor plugged in and got that horrendus constant tone again. Does this mean that my card is knackered?

Ah! I have found a list of POST codes. http://www.bioscentral.com/postcodes/phoenixbios.htm not sure what they mean though.

Within all the documents that come with the mobo there isn't anything that mentions the display (POST) at all. normally I would agree with you but I cant install anything because the monitor is not receiveing anything. Is it possible I have a compatibility problem?

Ok here it is... http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listConfigurations.jspa;jsessionid=a_nQv5I2e2ic4LbD_B?seriesId=989302&productId=989542

thats it but without the LT in the name. The Digital display is located at 1 o'clock of the circular battery, to the right of the USB 2 connectors. It consists of digital led displays which appear grey in color

Hello Wolfeymole Thanks for getting back to me so quickly I have disconnected HDD and DVD drive and checked with the installation guide from the motherboard. The power stays on, The tone remains and the mobo display has changed to C4, and an extra green light has appeared on the mobo. Still no monitor output.

I read an article in PC Gamer about building a PC. I went out and bought the componants and followed the instructions but when I press the power button the CPU fan starts then a half second later dies and a loud tone starts and then dies. I thought It was the HDD so I swapped the IDE Drive for a Sata one but this time as well as the power staying on this time the tone continues (Its really annoying) and the display on the mother board shows "F9" Please help?
