| 509124 | 2006-12-24 08:28:00 | Not really . PCI cards are pretty scarce these days I think . Most places are selling AGP / PCI-Express or the later cards . But PCI-E can't go in PCI or vice-versa . You'll most probably kill the slot if u tried . I think PCI-E slots can be shorter / and longer than PCI . As shown here ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Pci-e" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org) Hi That was as I thought . It is the fact that I don't get any beep when I power it up that has me worried . Anyway thanks for all your help today . I will have another try tomorrow . Thanks Richard |

| 509125 | 2006-12-24 08:34:00 | No worries. Umm I'm not too sure what Intel mean by this (www.intel.com) I'll have a read of the manual, I'm getting it now. |

| 509126 | 2006-12-24 08:49:00 | Hi Here you go. imagef1.net.nz Maybe some manufactures used the small 4 pin plug we talked about before to power the board. This mobo has no 4pin header that I can find. Richard |

| 509127 | 2006-12-24 09:23:00 | Sorry thats the connector I was talking about. On P4's its needed so it supplies enough juice to the CPU. Or the system wont boot. The only other thing I can think of, why its not working is because of that video card. Or another thing u could try, turn the power off take 1 ram simm out, then see if it turns on, replace it, then take the other simm out. |

| 509128 | 2006-12-25 00:28:00 | Hi Tryed removing both Ram sticks and replaceing just one of them.Both seemed seated OK.Replaced the single Ram stick into the slot and try to power up. That worked...!!! I am installing Win2000 right now and will sort out why it works with only one Ram stick soon. Thanks for all your help and I will update you as I go on. Thanks Richard |

| 509129 | 2006-12-25 07:13:00 | I just noticed this tread and had a read through , i noticed straight away that you had one stick of ram in one bank and another in the other bank , I would say this is why it did not work and why it is working now you only have one stick in , i would say if you put the other stick back in but put it back in the same bank as the other stick you will be away and laughing. | presso (10113) | ||
| 509130 | 2006-12-25 08:10:00 | Hi presso...This is what I have tried... First I will describe how Intel describes each Ram slot... Slot 1 is blue and called...Channel A.DIMM 0 Slot 2 is black and called..Channel A,DIMM 1 Slot 3 is blue and called...Channel B,DIMM 0 Slot 4 is black and called..Channel B,DIMM 1 .................................................. ............................................... This is what I have tried. Good Ram in slot 1 and Sus Ram in slot 3...no boot Good Ram in slot 1...boots and runs but only shows 1GB Ram. Sus Ram in slot 1 and Good Ram in slot 3...no boot. Sus Ram in slot 1...no boot. Good Ram in slot 1 and Sus Ram in slot 2...no boot. Sus Ram in slot 2...no boot. Sus Ram in slot 2 and Good Ram in slot 4...boots and runs but only shows 1GB Ram. Just a reminder that this is two sticks of 1GB each. Richard |

| 509131 | 2006-12-25 18:43:00 | Looks like you do indeed have a sus memory stick there , i would if possible see if you can borrow another good stick off of sombody and try putting it in with your good stick and see if its picking up both of them. But from what you said of putting the sus one in slot one and it not booting but then putting in the good one in slot one and it booting i would say without a dout you have a stuffed stick , If its new take it back to where you got it from i am sure they would throw it in a test rig to verify its stuffed. | presso (10113) | ||
| 509132 | 2006-12-25 20:20:00 | Cool, as least we got it going, thats a good start! The simms you've got, both are 240 pin DDR2 right? NOT DDR, which is 184 pin. |

| 509133 | 2006-12-25 21:10:00 | Hi Speedy Gonzales ....They are definetly 240 pin...brought new as a twin stick 2GB pack. So here is where i'm at. It now seems that I can fit iether ram stick into slot one and I get 1GB showen on screen.But as soon as I try to use the second blue slot.slot 3, it will not boot. If I put the either stick in the first Black slot,slot 2, then I get 2GB on screen but only in single channel mode. This sems to show that there might be a problem with the second blue slot. So can you tell me how to change the Bios the allow dual channel ? When I get into the Bios that feature seems to be greyed out. Also I am trying to use this prog to check the memory. www.memtest86.com I have done this so far... To build a boot-able CDROM use your CD burning software to create an image from the un-zipped ISO file...but when I put the CD into my drive then reboot it just comes up with my Win2000. Yes the DVD drive is the first boot device. Thanks Richard |
