| so, i bought new system, which won't boot up, don't even get through power on tests (sytem got power in - vents and leds started working). i removed all unneneccesary stuff (hdd's, other drives, etc.), took out and connected again all stuff, cause might had bad connection, tried memory with 1 and 2 sticks in different slots, nothing. system contains: conroe 6400 sapphire x1900 xt 512 mb asus p5wdg2 ws ocz 7200 platinum xtc 2x1gb OCZ GameXStream 700w (plus 2x74gb raptors, cd-rom drive, 2x60gb hdd's, wireless network card) so, i have no idea, which part isn't working and i have no way to test it, as i bought all new parts and i don't have friend, who has computer with similar components. |

| you have no post is what you mean? (nothing on screen). If so I would be looking at either your ram or motherboard... but make sure the x1900 pcie connector is in correctly Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.2Ghz (400Mhzx8) 1.52V (set in bios, 1.47v real) | 4GB GeIL PC6400 4-4-4-12 | Gigabyte DQ6 @ 1600Mhz | HD2900XT 1GB | Enermax Infiniti 720W | Silverstone TJ07-B with custom watercooling | BenQ FP241WZ 3dmark05 - 13140 | 3dmark06 - 6698 | SuperPi 1M - 15s |

| yes, screen remains black. if videocard fails, i should be hearing beeps, what means hardware failure. cleared CMOS, didn't help. my idea was, at first point, motherboard, memory or cpu failure. |

| have you got any other ram to test with? This sounds like the ram undervoltage problem tht a lot of other people were having... I think they had to buy cheap ram (like a 256MB module) and install it to boot and then increase the voltage and loosen the timings, I may be wrong however....
