Ive checked the videocard, but I`m sure its ok. It can be put in in 1 way. Its agp. ehm.. the proc. is ok too. I`ve checked that. So I only am left with a possible bad mainboard or a bad ddr memory. The ddr is hard to check.. its my 1st pc with ddr. ehm.. about the beeps and so. No beeps, nothing. When I start the pc, it sounds like he stops during the count of the memory, in the beginning. But still.. that shou`ldn`t be a problem with the display.When the memory is bad there would be a system stop.. but the display should work. Its spooky...

Hello you all. Can someone help me? I recently bought a new mainboard (k7vta3 version 5.0), a cpu (athlon XP +2400) and 512 ddr ram (pc2100/266mh). Iput this in my Aopen bigtower with my pine geforce2 mx400 64mb sdram excalibur. Guess what?.. it doesn`t work! The pc starts up.. but the display turns in its powersave mode. 2 secs after that the pc halts. I was thinking about the memory, but am sure now that that isn`t the case. Do you have any other suggestions what could be wrong.. and how to fix it? greetz, Marcel
