I get no display signal when booting up - but it seems whenever I modify my two ram sticks (take one out, move them around to different slots) it will boot up like normal just fine until I do a shutdown. (next start up will not have a signal again) Bad ram or motherboard slots?
no display signal - ram or motherboard issue?

So after extensive testing - each ram stick is OK according to the windows ram diagnostic; I have set everything in the bios to ram manufacturers settings (voltage, timing) and i'm still stuck. Oddly enough, it will fire up fine with ONE ram stick in - seemingly in any slot but ONLY if it was not previously in that slot. So if put it into slot 1, it will boot up fine. If I shut down, then it will not boot up again. If i move that stick to slot, boot up...and so on. Certainly the board is hosed?
Also once, got stuck into a reboot loop with a stick in the first slot. (it would never boot up, just power up and try to reboot on it's own constantly maybe after about 10 secs)

Are the sticks from a single package? If not it may be that they just don't want to play, might try one stick, raise DRAM voltage + 0.06 and then try adding the other stick
They are from the same package. And this system has worked well (minus occasional blue screens of death that I couldn't fix - 'driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL(netio.sys)) since I built it in Feb. Then one day I fired it up and had no display.

Wow this is nuts. After RMA'ing my motherboard (which is completely fine) I got a PSU tester and determined my PSU was bad. Got a new one (tested it before installing) and now when I fire it up I still get no display and it's in an infinite reboot loop. (after about 20 secs it always reboots) Really have no idea here....
