First id like to say hello to everyone im new here and hope to find the help i need. I recently aquired a Intel Dg915 Mobo with a P4 3g processor. I decided to start building it today so i tore my desktop apart and put the Intel together. So i dropped the board in my case instaleed my Samsung pc2700 ram (a pair of 1 gig sticks) my 9400GT graphics card and my Sound Blaster card. However upon first boot the board came on for a few seconds...then shut back off with nothing ever being displayed on my monitor. Kinda seems like maybe a ram issue but im not sure and cant really afford to buy a bunch of new parts trying to figure it out. Can anyone give me any suggestions? All help i appreciated!
