Cheers buddy

Fair enough - can you change my name to Ferg while your at it ^_^

Aww you made premium names slightly lighter blue - I thought it was orange hehe

Aye but totally worth it! ^^

Yeah they are the worst.... Speaking of which, laying dormant since 2004 now my master plan can hatch! htp://www.zomgloadsoffreestuff.com

Must be the way dual channel works the memory and brings out the error - is the voltage set correctly for your memory? If the memory was in a 2gb kit then I'd RMA them and just get some new ones - most manufacturers have lifetime warranty on ram nowadays.

So completely dead huh- are all these parts new apart from the case? Absolutely sure you have the power button connector in the right place? (on new builds they tend to be the last thing I remember to put on - preferring to short the pins with a screwdriver - could give that a go- be careful...

It's a bit oTT for my taste also - Been umming and ah-ing over the new antec 900-2 if it weren't so full of blue ultrabright LED's I might have bought it already - these new cases should really have control over the blackpool illuminations they seem obsessed to include with them.

Ah good ol 3dmark 01 - used to swear by that prog Are you using the second edition of it? (SE) Do you suspect the GFX card? ie. is it an old one? Can you try 3dmark 06? Running the latest nvidia forcewear drivers?

Raw would suggest that good ol windows has porked it during that first boot i'd guess - although have had very little experience with Raid array's. Is there data on there that is mission critical or are you just hoping to get the whole system working again?

It is possible - can you try making the video call in skype or some other IM program? - most of them are free so not to worry :)

Aww i quite like hunting the spamming newbies - as this topic might have suggested ^_^

Don't worry we'll get you there in the end - have you tried booting with just one stick of ram in? (make sure to earth yourself properly before touching them) If you have a spare GFX card that would be an excellent first thing to try as bazzer suggested EDIT: you said you don't hear the...

Sorry don't quite follow you there - is it supported or not? Are any listed supported at 8gb? I know I can't go above 4gb when I go for 1066 stuff as some weird incompatibility with my motherboard means you can only run dual channel and not fill all the slots. Maybe you are encountering a...

QFT :) Have you run 3dmark vantage on yours yet? I'd be interested what your cpu score is in it (on 3.52ghz mine gets 37055)

Can we have your full system specifications please. Are you running 32 or 64 bit vista?

I doubt it is your hard drive, its gotta be motherboard, memory or the PSU, disconnect everything except your GFX card just to be sure though and if it goes through the post screen and gives you a boot disk error then you may be right.

Does that mobo definitely support that brand and model of ram? Also is your bios up to date?

I don't think it's your motherboard mate - probably just poorly laminated/clamped transformer plates in the PSU. Short of having it replaced there will be very little you can do about it.

No i was referring to the actual wattage consumption - the voltage is pretty much irrelevant apart from the obvious stability issue. I got that information from here however I don't have the time or inclination to measure this for myself ^_^: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Overclocking Performance -...
