once the system recognizes it has NO physical memory (i.e) if its dead or failing,
it will either not boot or continue to reboot before it even reaches the BIOS. unless its removed during
use, that is the only way it will blue (or black screen OS given) ......I can prove it if you would like.... that said.

It can be the DIMM slots themselves or the PSU. Do you have an alternative motherboard, or PSU?

Quick idea - try re-seating your CPU if you havent already and make damn certain there are no bent pins.

It would be cool if you could live closer to me, I have plenty of shit laying around here we could use to test
your rig with.

Yeah, so I am a techy pack-rat and had extra asus boards, video cards, PSUs, etc. So then we moved in August, and my wife kept complaining about all my "cords and junk." So I tossed the old stuff.

My god would that come in handy now (some of it, like the PSU, frankly I didn't have a MB or CPU with the same socket. . .)

Still, sooo mad. I bought a damn PSU that I have to return now.

Also, from what I can tell, the only way to get the manufacturer to send me a new MB or CPU is to chat via video and threaten to slit my wrists with a straight blade. I may even need to draw a little blood on one of them . . .

Not quite; should a default voltage of a particular stick be not supported by the motherboard, it would indeed power on; but quickly power down.
Crucial and Corsair most notably had that issue in the 800 and 1066 DDR2 lines. I ran into it with some Buffalo DDR2 800 as well.

I had a similar problem, after hot swapping parts from a known good cpu... HDD was the culprit. My old hard drive wrote something wrong. Once I swapped it and then reformated it with original OS the CPU came up fine. Did you try that/

Right but from what I understood, it was running fine, then started this prob all of a sudden. If it was a ram voltage prob, it would have happened immediately after installing the ram. I love these debates :biggrin:

Applogies. That is definitely a "REAL" machine right there. My god, why have I been spending all these years building these things, when legos were obviously the answer all along. I bet that thing lifts off the ground when you turn it on :biggrin:
