<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I've tried everything. I just returned the RAM and got another brand,<br>
same problem. If I don't put any RAM in, when I turn it on I get one<br>
long beep, with RAM installed (1 or both slots) I don't get a beep,<br>
but the system just comes on for about 1 second and then shuts off.<br>
Nothing comes up on the display (tried both VGA and DVI) and there are<br>
no beeps.<br>
<br>
The only thing that I can think might be an issue is that I don't have<br>
the case yet, it is on back order, could that be the problem, that<br>
it's not mounted? I can't see why it would make a difference?<br>
<br>
I will be contacting the vendor, but I doubt they will have an answer<br>
on the weekend...<br>
<br>
Thanks for any thoughts.<br>

<br> It boots with both DIMMs installed, 4G total. Overkill, I know. I'm planning on buying a 2nd on (prob a single-core) later, and I'll just put one DIMM in each.<br><br>I'm currently using VGA-out, and my board's not in a case yet either. Everything booted fine on the first try.<br>
<br>Good luck!<br></div></div>
