    Hey everyone!

    I just recently bought a foxconn 965 motherboard, a Intel Pentium E5200, and 2x 4gb DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800:

    I am having some troubles getting it to work correctly. I turn it on and the fans start but nothing else. No video, no sounds, nothing.

    I've unplugged all non essential parts and still behaving in the same way.

    I really don't know where to go from here.

    Your links dont seem to work so I cant check your hardware.

    Its possible your motherboard doesnt like your ram. When you start using big modules like that motherboards can be fussy as to exactly which ram modules you use.

    The motherbaord manuals usually explain concisely which ram to buy.

    Check the wiring from the switch to the motherboard..Also decrease ram to one stick.
