Hey everyone. Two questions here about my new build (courtesy of MA),
First, when i boot up the system there is no post at all, all the fans are running (case fans, stock cooler on the processor, and the gpu's fan), as are the lights on the case. The system is also incredibly quiet. When I unplug my gpu (xfx 5870), all of the fans increase speed and the entire system gets much louder. Im starting to think the problem lies in the gpu, psu, or the motherboard. But my gut tells me its the motherboard.
My second question is will a system boot up with ripjaw ram (designed for intel systems) on my AMD motherboard? Im aware that this is probably in the wrong forum, but the people who gave me this build are here so maybe they may know more about it than other people.
Thank you all!
