Hi,

I what I have

abit SE6
815 chip
800EB
AGP Geforce 2 MX (on board video disabled)

Anyway I took my 2 sticks of 128 PC150 CAS2 out and installed 2 sticks of 256 PC133 CAS3 ....

Now my computer seems to boot but I have NO video at all .... Nothing .. I don't see boot / POST info or anything. My monitor is not getting any signal and thinks it should be in stand by mode.

What I did so far.

Tried a different monitor. nope
Reseated all the connectors - IDE, PCI, etc ... nope
Tried each 256 stick by itself. nope
Removed the geforce video and tried booting with the onboard video. nope

I would have put back in the 128 sticks but stupid me sent them to a freind with out checking if they worked.

Next I removed ALL memory and pulled the CMOS battery and let it sit for 2 minutes. The let it boot with out any RAM. Yup I let it boot with out ram. I got NO error beebs??? This makes no sense at all.

So while I am messing with this my buddie gets the old RAM I sent him. he has a 700 on a BH6. When he swaped the RAM he now has the same problem. He put back in his old ram and now with the new memory or the old memory it wont show any video.

Did I miss a step ??????????

HELP !!!!!!!!
