GA-P35-DS3L Not Posting!

hello everyone i havnt been here in a while and im goin to list alot here so please bare with me,
I built this new system my self with the help of all of you guys about a month ago. Up to now everything was great, it started up first time and i was very happy. Here are the Componants:
GA-P35-DS3L Motherboard
Power Color ATI 3850 256 MB Video Card
2x1GB kit of Patriot High Performance Ram DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 PDC22G6400LLK Memory
Intel e2180 OC 3.00 GHZ w/Cooler Master Geminii 2 cooler (I think thats how you spell it LOL)
Coolermaster CM690 case
Silverstone Strider 600 Watt PSU
and all the other goodies

So the build went smooth and i have been running vista stabily for the past month or so.
except, the memory gave me slight problem, its rated at 4-4-4-12 timings, but acording to CPU-Z they were running at 6-6-6-18
so since im so lazy i just recently starting doing some research on how to fix the problem.
it seemed like a simple fix, just go into bios, push Ctrl and F1 to unlock "Advanced" settings, and manually set timings. So i unlock the setting in bios, and realize that the memory was running at +0.3 volts over standerd, so i set that to normal and set all my timings to 4-4-4-12 (While the memory was clocked at DDR2 900)
pushed f10 to save settings to CMOS, the pc restarted, paused for a few seconds(Failed to Post) rebooted again, and did nothing. all the fans spined, and the HD and stuff, but the screen stayed blank, the PC seems like its failing to POST.

So i did the usual, tryed taking out a stick of ram, changing the dimms around, Reset the CMOS, reseated the VGA Card, Reseated all power connections, still no post.
This is begging to worry me, did i fry my memory?
what should i do next?
thanks in Advanced

Yes that is the ram I have
Unfortunantly, i didnt find out that it was 2.2 V until after i was not able to POST.
so how can i do that if i cant get into bios?

alright, i just took out the battery for the CMOS, and put just one stick of RAM in DIMM1, ill let it sit for a few minutes, put the battery back in, and fire it up with crossed fingers.......

You are trying to OC the RAM. Set the SPD so that the rated RAM speed is equal to (or lower) than the rated RAM speed. +.3 volts should have made you able to run at 4-4-4-12 as long as the speed was 800Mhz.

Are all connectors plugged in right (PCIe power?). Also remove the CMOS battery for 1 minute and see. The CMOS battery could also be dead.

If you have a 2nd PC connect the stuff one by one and see if they have problems. Test the RAM first, then the Video card, then the HDD/DVD. Honestly it looks like the motherboard is bad. Is the battery alive?

Is there a CMOS jumper on the MB? You will have to move it over, then move it back if it does.

Also, ive emailed both Patriot Memory and Gigabyte about this, hopefully I get a response soon.
Should I call Gigabyte support? I have had horrible experiance with phone support with other MB Brands

How old the battery is doesn't have any thing to do with how much power the battery has. Just replace the battery with a new CR2032, because my motherboard battery was dead when I received it.

Also, when i take the battery out and try to boot without it , i get the same error. That means its probably the battery then. I hope

By the way, Sadow703793 and chuckm, thanks for helping me here.

I guess you better rma the darn thing. I had the same one and i rma'd it thrice! that's three times and had the same problem or a new one pops up. I gave up. I will never use gigabyte mobo again. I am going back to Asus or Abit.

RMA the board its probably wasn't a good quality one. Also inspect that there are no loose caps,etc and that no metal is touching the motherboard parts,etc. Try Hot flashing the BIOS.

RMA is your best bet right now.

You are still covered by warranty aren't you?

Good luck. Depending on where you brought the motherboard RMA can be easy or very painful.
