I'm having problems with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard. Can anyone help?
So I bought 1GB of PC3200 OCZ value ram from Monarch (2x512) and I plugged that into the motherboard to see if it would make a difference. Previously when I pushed the power up button, the CPU and motherboard fan would spin fine and the hard drive would spin up too, but then nothing more would happen. It wouldn't even get to the BIOS screen. The monitor would just remain dark.
So I put my old computer back together and waited for the new ram to arrive.
Today the ram arrives and I rip out my old system again and again I put in the MSI board and install just one stick (512mb) of ram into the first green slot nearest the CPU, the video card and the hard drive with the OS on it and I power it up and now as soon as I turn on the power supply the motherboard powers on itself!! I don't even have to connect the power up button from the case to the motherboard.
So the change in ram didn't help and I don't know why its powering on by itself just by turning on the power supply. The result is the same though. A blank screen that won't even boot to BIOS.
Also, I placed the D-link in for dianostics and it came up with these lights:
1 - yellow
2 - orange
3 - orange
4 - yellow
Can anyone tell me how to get my darn system working?? Is the MSI motherboard messed up or is there anything I can do to get things working properly?
PLEASE HELP!!!
