GA-MA74GM-S2H Motherboard REV 4.0 Problem!!
« on: May 20, 2010, 04:30:35 pm »
Hi I wonder if anyone has the same issue, I have built up my PC from scratch and i have installed:

AMD 2 x250 processor 3.0 GHz

PCI 5570 Graphic card 1GB

Sony optical DVD RW drive

Seagate 500gb sata hard drive

500w AT X  power supply

Geil  Black Dragon 2GB DDR2 PC 8500 1066Mhz

Ellite 330 Tower case.

Also the mother board as mention on the subject.

 ALL these items are brand new nothing at all is second hand.

My problem is when I installed the Processor unit and the graphic card and also the System fan without connecting the drives and ram ALL WAS OK, i got a beep from the system ( which meant that the drives and ram where not connected) this was a test to see if i had installed these parts correctly.

Now that i have installed the hard drive, dvd drive without the Ram. the system failed to boot up. i mean at least the processor fan and system fine should still spin as before. i was surprised that i got just 2 seconds of spin from the fans and there was no power at all. I can't understand , surely i have the right equipment connected.

CAN ANYONE HELP!! desperate in need of assistance

Hi,

Put your RAM into the Mobo and try again. I do not know of any Mobo that will POST without RAM on-board!
