Did you make sure to purge the buffers before you took it out?]]></description>

If the mobo has a different pci x16 port try that.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[The reason AnimaL asked about the beeps is that each motherboard has its own 'beep codes' for diagnostics. For example, one of my old boards had a long low-pitched beep followed by a short high-pitched beep to mean, 'keyboard not connected.' (Don't ask why I had to look that up.) It can be tricky info to find online, though.]]></description>

		<blockquote>what kind of beeps</blockquote> erm, pretty generic beeps. High pitched :p disc drives don't open when this goes on, dunno if that means something. Hopefully getting a psu to try today but no doubt my mate will bring a 350 watt shit or something]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[When I read your post, my immediate reaction was a PSU problem.

If you can, cut it down to the bare minimum. PSU, Motherboard, RAM and CPU, disconnecting everything else. Generally, I would unplug all leads and just start again from scratch; a single one can cause a problem and just pressing on all of them is usually ineffective. Then try booting up again. It is slightly hard to describe, but try and listen out for the point at which the BIOS kicks in. If possible, power it up with the case side off; usually easier to see what you are dealing with if you can see it.

If everything seems fine when you do that, try plugging in everything else one at a time. Try Hard Drive first, and listen for the single BIOS beep shortly after powering it up; if you don't get that, then there is a problem there.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[doesn't seem to want to boot now no matter how long it's on for. Tried putting my old 8800gt in and the fans were normal, but still didn't boot up. Tried different ram and different ram slots; nothing. Tried taking the mobo battery out and back in. No change. Driving me nuts, if only i had a spare psu as that would pretty much solve it. Got a friend coming tomorrow to check so if there's anymore suggestions on what could be wrong? Beginning to fear the worst and thinking it could be the mobo..]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[I don't see where in this thread you guys have the data to point to a PSU/mobo fault. Since it is consistent, it doesn't sound like either of these.

Have you checked each individual stick of RAM for a few hours?]]></description>
