RAM, CPU and Motherboard Compatibilty

[mackieben04]

Hello,
I just want to ask if the following Parts are compatible~

CPU: Pentium Dual Core 1M Cache, 1.80 GHz, 800 MHz FSB

RAM: Kingston KVR13N9S8/4 DDR3 1333 4GB

Motherboard: ASRock G41M-VS3 R2.0

Thanks!

Check "cpu support" for your cpu on the motherboard webpage; it's listed by model number, such as e6600. The ram should work fine. http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?cat=CPU&Model=G41M-VS3 R2.0

I check on the list and the CPU is compatible, but I just wondering that after I assemble the whole system, it doesn't work properly. I can't even go to BIOS since there's nothing to display...

Reseat the ram and the power supply connections to the motherboard. Review "breadboarding" if you haven't tried it. And use the screwdriver trick: unplug the case leads and move a screwdriver around the pin cluster for the case leads until the system fires up. Be sure the power supply toggle switch is in the (-) position.

Woah~ it sounds to complicated ..
The motherboard has a power and it powers up but the problem is there's nothing to display on the screen. Like the POST...

the problem is the ram module. i'm trying the same memory (bought 2 new ones) with an asus p5g4it-m lx and it doesn't boot.
changed the ram and everything works fine...
