Hey all,
I'm have it troubles with my motherboard. When I try and get my pc to post the ram light comes on and stats red. I've tried the mem ok button, I've tried different ram and different slots, I've also reset the bios. I also know the ram works as the sticks run fine in my old m/board. If you have any more ideas please let me know. I can't post at all and it's not my head in!!
thank you in advance

Okay so when the board attempts to post there is one long beep and three short beeps and this repeats untill i turn my machine off. There is no image on screen and I can't get into the bios.

Are the memory sticks a MATCHED pair within the specs for the MB?
Are they in the correct pair of slots? (A1 and B1)

If so, try breadboarding the system with the MB out of the case sitting on an insulated surface like the box. Connect just 1 stick of RAM to the A1 slot, PSU, KB and mouse, monitor to a WORKING gfx card. Start the system by momentarily shorting the 2 pins that the start button wires would go to. See if it boots to BIOS.
