  1. ok tried both RAM sticks seperately!! wolfeymole thanks for the reply. I've never touched the battery so please could someone explain what i do with it... thanks mate
  2. thanks for the help seth, i reset the CMOS with no effect then started it without any RAM with no effect! I didn't reset the cmos like you said, i did it using the book and i was a bit scared of the battery... I have 2 sticks of RAM but no spare graphics or CPU... what should i do now? try it with 1 stick in.. i'll do that now and report if there are any effects... thanks, Jamie
  3. hey people, 2 days ago my monitor stopped working. I tested the monitor on another PC and it worked so i can think that my graphics card isn't sending anything. What happened was I restarted my computer and after the restart a blue screen popped up, what it said is something of a mystery, i just remember it telling me that if this is the first time of viewing then restart the machine so I did. Since then my monitor thinks that it isn't connected to anything. I have tested for faults and i'll bullet point them here: #using the same cable I tried the monitor on a different PC #took everything out the case, had the motherboard with only the barebones connected. (CPU with fan, PSU, Graphics card connected to monitor & RAM) My specs: #PSU... 1000W Enermax #Motherboard... ASUS P5N32-E #Graphics... 768Mb XFX 8800GTX XT 600 PCI-E Thanks for your help, Jamie
  4. danzil, you are a genius I removed motherboard, etc and it worked so i worked out that it was the case that was stopping it from working. basically the graphics card couldn't be inserted propery because the motherboard was too low compaired to where the cards interact with the back of the case, so lifting the motherboard makes the computer operational but the graphics card is not fixed to the case. that can be worked round but thanks man, and also jamey you were right about the graphics card cheers guys ps. my backup windows cd isn't booting, how can i make it boot
  5. cheers guys -I know nobody's mentioned it but it's definitly not the power SU. Its been replaced and fully tested -Its not windows either, when i boot into bios it gets nowhere near windows. it just lasts about the same amount of time before shutting down -the beeps that i hear when ram isn't installed are constant and its hard to tell you what pattern they're in using a forum. -how do i check if its the graphics card? the only other one i have is for an agp port which i don't have in this motherboard, the fan starts up on the graphics card and images are displayed thanks for your help lads
  6. thanks. -it doesn't have time to heat up, and the heatsink fan spins correctly -it beeps constantly when there is no RAM -conserning what happens on screen, the PC boots up absolutly fine...for a maximum of 20 seconds. -i've stripped it and only have RAM, CPU fan, motherboard and GFX card running off the PSU and it still does the same thing (apart from obviously booting into windows) -it makes no difference what RAM is in there as long as there is at least one stick thanks for your help danzil
  7. This is the second PC I've built and the last one was fine. My new one lasts 15 seconds, sometimes 5 and I really have no idea what the problem is. Below is a list of every single part that I bought: -Intel E6600 Core2Duo 2.40GHz -ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS -Wavemaster case -700W EZCOOL PSU DUAL 12V -768Mb XFX 8800GTX, Extreme, PCI-E (x16), Mem 1900 MHz -Corsair DDR2 TWINX 2GB Could it be a BIOS setting like something to do failsafing the motherboad? anyway thanks for your help Jamie
