Alright, i bought a new mobo for hopes of better gaming (Intel DQ45CB).
I took a 4gb(ddr2) ram stick out of my old motherboard that was running 15 minutes before and having no problems with it, and put it in the new motherboard.
Here is a timeline of problems i've been having:
• fans spinning but pc not fully booting / no video output(fixed by adding a 1gb ram stick)
• windows nor bios detecting the 4gb ram stick, but cpu-z would
• pc restarting seconds after boot
• 4 post beep errors, same length but ranging in volume
I took the 4gb ram stick out and booted without problems.
Here is a list of things i tried to do to fix this:
• un-plug other stuff
• re-seat ram(tried all 4 slots)
• reset cmos
• replaced heat sink(i kinda knew it was unlikely that would work)
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo @3.0 ghz (lga 775)
Intel Q45 Chipset
Currently 2gb ram
Intel DQ45CB Mobo
ddr2 ram support
Before suggesting its the ram itself, please acknowledge i had that working on another mobo 15 minutes with no problem before putting it in this one
