So my old system looked like this:
ASUS Sabertooth 990fx R1
2x2GB 1800 G.Skill Flare
Old gfx card OC'd to the gills from the factory
AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 8-Core
Old 7200 RPM HDD
Dyanamo AZZA 650W
Well I decided to grab a few upgrades...
250GB Crucial SSD
2x8GB 1866 G.SKill Trident RAM
Sapphire Tri-X R9 290x
I know my motherboard is a little outdated and my PSU is junk but I'm wondering what my bigger problem is...
With both RAM sticks installed, I'm only getting 8GB of ram available/detected.
With the 290x installed I can't get a POST beep, it gives one long and 3 short beeps which according to the motherboard manual means I have a graphics card issue.
Opinions on how I should proceed?
