Clear the CMOS and try again.

how?

HammerON · Apr 24, 2010

I think on the back of the board (I/O area), there is a CMOS button. Check there.

If that doesn't work, try one stick of ram and see if it will boot. If it doesn't, try a different stick (so on and so on)...

You did remember to use standoffs right?

also there isnt a cmos button

theonedub · Apr 24, 2010

then there is probably a jumper on the board to do it. Read the manual and find out.

Unpower the wall-plug or psu switch. Take the side-panel off. Remove the cmos (round shiny) battery for 15-30 seconds. Put it back in.
Check...

Plugged and spinning?

LAN_deRf_HA · Apr 24, 2010

Standoffs keep the board from touching the back of the case and shorting out. I'm ashamed to say I built a system a number of years ago without them because all my previous cases had them built in so I had never needed them... but the fact that yours comes on for 4 full seconds makes me think it isn't a short, shorting systems usually only flash on for less than a second.

Yeah its spinning

I just screwed the motherboard down into the haf backing, did I need to add standoffs( the gold things screws, at least thats what Im thinking it is)

They're the screws the motherboard holes go into. Yes you would need to use them... :ohwell:

Yeah - my bad I was thinking of a different board. I have the ASUS P6T and just looked :laugh:

You should be using the stand-off screws~

Out of the manual for clearing CMOS:

-1nf1n1ty- · Apr 24, 2010

omg I feel retarded as shit! fuckignhell, sorry for the stupid questions, but YES I got my pc running cause I needed standoffs thanks everyone for the help

HammerOn: yeah Im about to do that right now thank you

LAN_deRf_HA · Apr 24, 2010

I almost didn't mention it cause I thought "nobody could be as dense as me"... glad I wasn't the only one to do that :laugh:

HammerON · Apr 24, 2010

Glad you got her figured out man! I know how much it can suck when you get a rig together and then the danm thing won't work!!!

Yeah it wasnt the cpu I wanted but, 930 and 920's are practically the same I've done some reviews and saw that it only made 2-3 fps difference
