hi guys,

i recently bourght all the parts for a desktop and put it all together myself, installed XP home SP2 correctly with no fails or problems, all hardware is installed correctly aswell. a problem arised when it wouldnt boot even to BIOS and i tried it with just the CPU and RAM (using onboard graphics).

Later on it Randomly started working again (thiswas bout month ago), but i recently bought a new case and the problem has yet arised again!
iv already returned the SG-80 mobo, and this is a replacement.

iv cleared the CMOSS memory and checked the BIOS battery, iv also reinserted grease for CPU and checked if hardware is connected prperly about 58475 times!

should i just randomly keep trying it?

thnaks

- it doesnt get to BIOS, it just stays on save. the monitor doesnt seem to read anything through the onboard gc or the ATI G Card.

all the system seems to do s use the DVD Drive. It uses it then stops then uses it again then stops, iv never seen this before.

thanks

- I did not as i couldnt get into the BIOS to change the Graphics, so if theres no beeps, i have a memory problem(the RAM being used is fully combatable with the Mobo)

its strange how it stops to keep checking the DVD drive and doesnt use the HDD once through starting up,

i thought it may be the BIOS battery being low charged or having need of replacement but as its brand new (and a replacement) i dont think it would as it did the exact same problem with the old Mobo.

If there are no beeps at all on boot up it's a memory timing problem,

Go into bios in standard bios settings menu and disable 'Halt On All Errors' if it isnt already, this may show up the problem in the initial power on self test.

- when you booted with on board graphics did you before hand change the primary graphics controller as onboard in the bios or is it still set at yor AGP card if you had one fitted previous.

But if no beeps(should be one then another not two together)still have a memory problem and wont even get to bios screen and monitor will go into power save mode.

Not all memory works with all boards.

The board must be working if it's checking your dvd drive etc

You can't just boot with cpu and ram as what can the pc look for if theres no hdd.
