I just put together a new rig it has a Asus M3N78 PRO Motherboard and a AMD Phenom 9500 2.20GHz Processor with 2 Corsair Dual Channel TWINX 1024MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz E.P.P. Memory. I cant get it to boot I think my ram may not be compatible do you think that is my problem or something else perhaps.

Please give the full model# of the ram. Also I checked the compatibility of your CPU/Bios. There shouldn't be a problem there, bios 0203 (original bios) supports the AMD Phenom 9500 although I would still flash to a current bios if we could get it up and running. Give me the full specs on that ram then we'll try something else.

Check in the bios and make sure your ram is getting enough voltage. If your ram is 2.1v and its only getting 1.8v, theres gonna be problems.

I don't think he can get into the bios.

Thanks for the suggestions but the gremlins seem to have moved on. When I went to start it up to see if I could check the bios it went straight to asking for a OS. I think I will check all the connections something must be loose. Thanks again
