Can you get into the BIOS?
What BIOS version have you got as the e6850 wasnt supported till "F4"
Do you have CPU power plugged in (4/8pin connector)
Is the Heatsink secure (i mean firm no movement)
After all this try booting machine with only CPU, RAM and GPU

chookman is right try CPU RAM GPU only, ive had a similar problem before but with a different gigabyte motherboard try resetting the BIOS if it gets as far as listing all devices then its more than likely a IDE/SATA problem than a CPU/RAM error seing as its atleast tryying to POST.

yea i tried just gpu ram n video . i qflashed to f6 same problem . unplugged hdd same stop. it stops afterthe gigabyte logo where it lists the usb stuff ill try to get a pic .it tells my primary hdd at the top. its reading my drives but just holds at that screen . i took everything apart and made sure everything was secure . only have one stick of ram in . cleared cmos any times . any suggestions would help

 

[maxboost916]

o yea i can get into bios no problem .just not able to boot from hdd cd .anything

 

[pete4r]

are you saying if you have a copy of windows 2000, xp, vista CD in the DVD-RW drive, and select first boot device to CD/DVD, it wont boot from there either?

 

[maxboost916]

yes. it still stops at the same screen . even if i unplug the hdd drive and dvd drive it still stops there

[maxboost916]

yeahh 100% sure

 

[dragonsprayer]

need more ram voltage

 

[maxboost916]

tried that also boots at plus 2 .does not boot at all at 4volt above

 

[maxboost916]

well there is power at .4 plus but bank screen only . +.2v does not affect anthing

You don't have by any chance a way to test the components individually... My guess would be the mobo, although just power incompatibilities between board and graphics, or just a plain old style PSU failure on some rails.

 

[maxboost916]

yea i guess ill try just testing them out separate . the ram has been tested separate but mobo psu and cpu are all new

 

[maxboost916]

ok so i changed it to read Ahci mode n now it boots the hdd but restarts while its at the windows logo.any suggestions from here . and is there anything wrong wih using the ahci??
