    Ah yes, a good suggestion. I have know people put motherboard standoffs in the wrong places in a case, and end up shorting bits of the mobo, causing problems obviously.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Now i have 1 long beep and two short beeps, would this occur because of a video card error?

    I havent found the exact answer, but it appears its your video card yes. Try reseating it. 1 long and 2 short seems to be Asus' code for that, not sure about other manufacturers though.

    You have put the AGP clip/lock in place havent you?

    are your fans plugged into molex's, a fan controller, or the motherboard connectors?

    Oh, and give your 9800 its own molex, dont put anything else on that.

    The fans wont be affected by the motherboard if they arent connected to it. Must be a dodgy connection somewhere...

    I dont see the fans as of upmost importance tbh. We need to concentrate on the graphics. You havent "daisy chained" molex's to your graphics card have you? The molex needs to go straight from the PSU into your graphics card. Anything coming up on the monitor?

    Ive had a fiddle around with cables, and i have the graphics cable connected straight onto a cable from the PSU.
    Still the same beep codes though

    right to verify you have tried it outside of the case seated on a non conductive thing such as a mobo box with only the cpu + heatsink 1 stick of memory plugged in and the video card -?

    second are you connecting the 4 pin atx cable to the mobo?

    third you are not connecting the fan only molex connectors up are you? (notr sure if the true 550 has these still or not)

    have you reset the cmos?

    also as i dont know how computer knowledgable you are, are you securing the heatsink inplace and are the video card and memory securly slotted in place?

    Feel better now ive had some sleep

    I havent actually tried it out of the case yet, will do that.

    The 4 pin atx is connected

    Yup there are 2 fan only molex's, but ive made sure there not being used atm

    As for resetting the cmos, should i swap it to the 2-3 postition and leave it, or swap it back again like u normally would?

    As for my knowledge id say pretty basic This is only my second time doing this, first time seemed really easy, just plonked it in and turned it on.

    Gotta go to work for a few hours, gonna have another bash when i get back

    to clear cmos yep stick the jumper on the clr pins for 10 secs or so and then put it back to the normal position, but unplug the psu from the mains first

    I tried it outside the case with nothing else on it, i still get 1 long beep then 2 short.

    Ive put the CPU and radeon into this PC, and they both work fine, so im thinking its gotta be a problem with the Motherboard.

    What do u guys think?
