Recently purchased a bunch of new parts, after assembling them all, the system wouln't post. Here's what I was using:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775
ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI
EVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
With just these parts I could not get the board to post at all. I've tried different ram, a different pci-e card, a new psu, and it still refuses to post. Don't have access to a new processor to try, so it could be that as well.
I've RMA'd both the board and the processor, but I'm looking for suggestions on a new board that would less picky about ram and such since in doing some research I've seen people complain about that.
Please give me some recommendations, got a 24" widescreen on the way and it's gonna be sad to not have a new pc to plug into it when it arrives
