So, a month or so ago, I decided to build my own gaming computer and since then I've had nothing but problems and I would very much appreciate any help anyone is is willing to offer.
Computer components:
ASRock Z77 Extreme6 LGA 1155 Intel Z77
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (LGA 1155)
8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin (G.Skill F3-2133C9D-8GXL)
Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 600W ATX12V v2.3
1 tb hd +a dvd reader/writer
Nvidia 760 gtx
At first when I got everything, I read through the manuals, maybe not clearly enough, and set everything up.
I first test my mobo outside of the case with only one stick of ram in the slot specified(A_2), and the CPU in place with the heatsink installed and the power cords hooked up, 8 and 24 pin.
When I switched the power on, everything powered up, then went off and continued to do so until I shut it all down.
I'm pretty sure the problem is not the motherboard, as I tested it with a separate mobo, and the same thing happened.
Does this mean my RAM or CPU is bad?
The RAM says 1.60 V to to 1.65 V but the RAM slots have the number 1.5 V on them, so is that the problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
