HELP getting my new PC going!

[axxis]

Hello people.

I upgraded the motherboard, CPU, GPU and RAM in my PC.

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V Pro
CPU: i7 3770K
RAM: Corsair Vengance LP 16gb
GPU: Sapphire 6970
PSU: Corsair HX 750

The thing is when I started it and had all 4 RAM sticks in, the DRAM LED turns on and there's no picture on my screen. I took one RAM stick and started from left to right slots. The two left ones doesn't give me a picture, only turns on the DRAM LED till it turns off the system and on again. The two right ones works, which brings me to the next problem:

It goes to a screen which tells me windows couldn't start and it recommend doing a start up repair tool (Which takes ages and does not help), and the other option is to start as normal. I chose the second one and it says "Starting windows" and the colors goes in a circle to make the windows symbol, but the freeze up for a couple of seconds, and I get a tiny second with bluescreen and then it restarts doing the same procedure.

Is it the motherboards fault? What can I do. I really need my computer ASAP.

Help!

Excuse my english, I'm from Norway!

Yes I do that, and then windows is starting, but then as I wrote above the "Starting Windows" screen with the animation freezes and restarts the machine.

can you try not using the graphics card and use the intergrated GPU?

Done that aswell. Same results.

it gives a beep every time the red light passes by the VGA LED on the motherboard at startup

Your old hard drive aint going to boot on your new hardware, find your windows disc boot to disc and do a fresh install.

 

[TheBigTroll]

you could do that as well

 

[axxis]

Ok, thank you! I'll try that as soon as I get a CD-ROM.

But what about the RAM slots? Is the motherboard faulty?

 

[TheBigTroll]

did you press the dimms down all the way?

Yes, I did.

My PC starts now, and everything works except using all ramslots

 

[TheBigTroll]

which slots dont work?

 

[axxis]

which slots dont work?

I have 4 slots.

1 and 2 from left aint working.

 

[TheBigTroll]

your supposed to use slots 1 and 3

or slots 2 and 4

at the same time

I know, but that doesn't work. I'm gonna buy a new one and send this one in return. I've tried updating BIOS to newest version, I've tried one stick in A1 or A2, I've tried the Memo OK button several times, but nothing works.

you might want to contact the store you bought from or asus about this. might have to do a RMA

I have done so.
I also saw that the 1155 socket on the motherboard had two bent pins. I saw pictures on google, and they don't have them, so guessing that might be the problem!

 

[TheBigTroll]

i still wonder how you got the system running even though you had 2 bent pins. you should RMA the board

Haha, I dont know man. I've getting my new board in a couple of minutes. The other one is on it's way back!

 

[TheBigTroll]

ok thats good to hear. you were probably lucky to hit only the grounding pins

I got my new board, and the system is running very good. Overclocked 3770k at 4,4 GHz and 16gb RAM!

 

[TheBigTroll]

you might want to run memtest86 for memory, prime95 with small ffts for the CPU, and run 3dmark11 in loop mode to stress test everything
