I am having an Asus P5GC-MX Motherboard with a 1GB RAM (Zion make) installed. Recently, my system has stopped booting up. As soon as I start my CPU, the CPU fans starts, the keyboard lights blinks once, the DVD drive also functions but there is no display on my monitor. It remains in standby mode. Also, the red LED of my Hard Disk (160 GB, Seagate SATA) does not blink. I have also shorted the pins and removed the button cell battery and replaced it again to reset the BIOS but still my computer does not boot (the beep sound of booting does not come after starting the computer). Please suggest me what is the problem & its solution.

SOURCE: Problems Installing my 160 GB Seagate SATA HDD

you need to go in bios and set sata to legacy for no F6 driver. if its on native it need a driver from floppy on xp cd boot . if its not detected in windowws as a slave. u need to run diskmgmt.msc and fin the unalocated drive and create part then format it ntfs

Do I need to buy 2 DDR2 Ram for my ASUS P5VDC-MX Motherboard?

with rams, if the memory it has is higher than that of your cpu, the pc will not boot up or if it is too low compared to your cpu again.

thus, you say it has got two slots right, remove both of the 512's and insert the 1gig only, run your computer, i am sure it will boot up nicely. switch it off. put one 512, if it does not boot then you should know that your ram has an excess of memory that your cpu could not apprehend to.

post a coment if this does not work.

thanks,

wonder

Memory Issues with P5GL - MX

Some motherboards require that you install the memory in matched pairs. That could explain why they won't work together.

When you put the 1 GB in alone, what slot did you put it in?
I would suggest the blue A1 slot (closest to the CPU).

It may be that you have a bad memory module.
You could try the Windows Memory Diagnostic:

RAM Upgradation Problem

Your K8V-MX has 4 memory slots. The slot closest to the CPU is DIMM A1, to its right is B1, & than A2 & B2. Your memory should be matched if possible but in your case with 1xGB & 1x512Mb the memory should be placed as such. The 1Gb in slot B1 & the 512MB in B2. Check your manual for more configurations.
