  • SG33G5 no post (new system)

    I just got my long awaited SG33G5 - great looking system.

    I installed a Q6600, sata drive, IDE DVD Drive, and 2 GB OCZ PC26400 dual channel (2 x 1, supported). I am planning on using the on-board video, perhaps the hdmi.

    The system won't post.

    The only indicators I see are a red light by the first DIMM slot (from front) and a green light by the second. No combination of things changes this, including removing HD, OD and memory.



    Any hints on what I can do to troubleshoot? No video makes it hard to increase voltage on memory (as I saw in another thread).

    Update on this: I scoured other systems (my wife's - shhhh), and found it had memory that was also on the verified/accredited list for this system. Booted right up with the different memory.

    The hard drive was bad, the memory wasn't up to snuff - double error on this build.

    But now - all is well!

      I was about to suggest to test the ram on a different system, or one stick at a time in yours. I would still do that, you could have only one bad stick not 2
