Hey all,
Done a lot of builds in the past with little to no problems. This one is a different story however:
MSI Z77A-G45 Mobo
2x GSkill 8GB Ripjaws
Intel Core i7 CPU
+ Some other parts that I don't have hooked up yet
Bought this all on Newegg DIY Full Solution Supercombo so I know all parts are compatible. Breadboarding right now with just CPU + RAM installed.
What's happening is every time I try to get the computer to POST, I get the 3 long beeps from the mobo (indicating a memory error). I have tried all possible RAM setups (different slots, 1 stick, 2 sticks, memory from a working system that is compatible, 4 different brands, etc.) and no matter what I do I still get the beeps.
Is this due to a motherboard failure? Or am I missing something with the RAM? Please Help! Completely stumped!
(If it makes any difference, the CPU fan takes a little while to spin up {~2-3s} after I turn on the power. Don't think that means anything but it could)
Thank You All.
