computer wont start after cleared RTC RAM

we dont actually know if the rams the problem at the moment, its just a likely candidate.

what you really want for this kind of testing, is cheap and slow stuff. so, 667Mhz ram at 1.8V on DDR2 -its cheap, 'slow' and works on every DDR2 motherboard.

it's DDR3.... Sad because I got junky DDR2 in my old computers.
 
well go for 1066Mhz or 1333Mhz DDR3 then, at 1.5v

well my mushkin ram is 1333 which is why I thought it would work...

then the ram isnt the problem, unless its fried or something.
 
two might be the problems: Ram or CPU
Low the voltage of cpu, if the ram isn't really the problem.
I hope i helped you out!
 
first off I didn't touch the CPU voltage at all.

I guess I'll just RMA it back to newegg.
 
so I'm gonna package it up today and mail it out tonight... As a last minute thing I tried the PSU in another computer and it worked... I hope it doesn't take 2 weeks to get it back >_> I really need this machine up and runnin'.
 
have u tried starting the mobo without ram? if everything is allright with the mobo it should see it has no ram (3 beeps). after u can try with only one stick.
