Just bought a GA EP45 DS3L
2x 2GB sticks OCZ 1066
550 Real Power Pro (coolermaster)
HD 4850
It *kinda* worked for awhile. Dual channel memory wouldn't work and no memory was recognized in the second bank (ddr2_3 and ddr2_4). Hence I had to do single channel (and yes both dimms were recognized in ddr2_1 and ddr2_2 so I don't think it was a memory issue).
However, now even those don't work.
When I power on the system, the fans and LED's light up for about a second and then promptly turn off. No Beeps.
About 1 second after that it turns on again (I don't touch anything). This time it turns on with a single beep (good post?) and I can hear the HDD start to spin. This lasts for about 4 seconds before it shuts off again and repeats the whole process indefinitely. I don't get a video signal during this.
The exact same thing happens if I take out all the memory.
If I disconnect the 4pin to the CPU the computer remains on, but doesn't do anything. No beeps. Normally it should be beeping letting me know there is a CPU issue, right?
I've reset the cmos multiple times. This hasn't changed anything.
This is fresh from newegg so I'm strongly considering sending it back.
