A friend gave me a new Intel DP45SG motherboard and a Q9550 Core 2 Quad processor so I bought what I thought would be a good set of DIMMs to go with it. The DIMMs are quantity 2 of DDR3 1333MHz 4GB. So I put it together in a new case and a 430W power supply. The system will turn on but I get no video. Looking over on-line docs for the motherboard I decided perhaps the 4GB DIMMs were not suited for the mother board so I purchased some 2GB DDR3 1333MHz DIMMs instead with high hopes that this would solve the no video problem. No such luck. The motherboard has an on-board mini speaker which I believe is where any post beep codes should come out. I am getting nothing from that speaker so I decided to try hooking a regular external speaker up to the standard audio ports to see if I was getting anything there. Nada, nothing, zilch.
I tried two different video cards that work in other systems fine but I still get no video out when I power on this system. In looking over the specs for the q9550 processor I see it is supposed to have a 1333MHz FSB and the motherboard definitely lists support for DDR3 1333MHz memory. Anyone here have any ideas or suggestions? -- Steven DuChene --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
