Hi Guys,
I am reading threads on toms hardware from the time i thought of building my PC. I got the following parts and assembled the PC. It worked fine for a day and crashed . Now when i try to boot the system there is no signal on the monitor, i tried every thing clearing cmos settings even there are no post beep errors even to track what the issue is. Its been a day only i have assembled the system.

Spec wise should be compatible with your build.


Should be purchased in pairs so that it runs in DUAL channel mode.

About a month ago i faced the same kind of issue hope the solution that i got will help you guys also.
I got asus m5a97r2.0 motherboard and paired it up with a fx 6300 processor and 4 gigs of kingston hyperx fury ram. It worked for like till windows installation finished and when the system started it got hanged. I didn't had an option other than power off the PC. I powered off the PC and powered it on and this time monitor was showing no signal along with no post. I tried every possible thing a person can imagine to fix it but it didn't worked even replaced my rams. I cant say the issue will be the same for every 1. With no choice left i took the mobo to serv center for repair. Within a week i got a new mobo which i got back and tried to run my system with it. It didnt boot up again no signal on monitor. Then again i took the mobo to the servc centre told dem its not wrkin they apologised and took it back again after 1 week i got a new mobo which was checked informt of me that its workin and giving monitor signals. I took the motherboard home and tried running my ststem on it.It worked for like 5 mns and again crashed on restarting same no monitor signals. Luckily it was day time i immediately took the mobo back to servc center and told its not working they said they checked it was working which was correct. Then again they checked it didn't worked. The tech person allowed me to sit with him and see what was the issue as i was highly frustrated with all the efforts i was putting on a new mobo. Then he told that the mobo got shot circuited. I asked then he told me what i was doing wrong. Again this may be a scenario not applicable for every1. I was directly placing the mobo on my chasis. which when powered up earths the mobo and short circuit happens. To avaoid it the mobo comes with some golden socket screws which are suppose to be placed on the chasis mobo area and the attach the mobo on these socket screws which will prevent it from earthing and every thing will run jus fine. Hope it helps
