Sounds like psu or memory issue.Up memory voltage to manf reccomened max in bios.Flash bios to latest.Run stress prime 2004 orthos.

First thing to do, reset your CMOS. Pull out the battery and let it sit for 10 misn and put it back in. Your corsairs should not be the problem with the DS3. It could be a PSU problem but it's more likely the mobo is the problem.

Above poster is full of crap. How do you flash bios when it doesn't post properly? read the damn post first.

I found out the problem. It was a bios issue. I went to bios cause it was trying to read a 3.5 floppy drive first that I didn't have.

thanks.
