have u tried using the other 2gb stick?

sounds like a dead stick of ram

[Bradan]

to add the other hdd you must format it.

right click my computer-->manage--->storage-->disk management-->right click unformatted drive--->format-->ntsf primary

Check all your PS connections to the mobo and all of the headers to the case buttons. Also you might want to check behind the motherboard in case it is somehow grounded against the case. Does it always work with just the one RAM stick?

Looks like my videocard wasn`t well attached and it was cutting off the power of my system, thanks for your inputs :)

lol isn't it funny when that happens? I'm glad it is fine now.

ive often had to disconnect/reconnect thangs to make the contact good. ram, cards, sata cables 'n stuff

[MomijiTMO]

Is that from the xtreme dust? [just kidding]. I'm appalled by the amount of dust in my house despite how often I run around with those static dust cloths :(

[adamsleath]

maybe; it gets everywhere. you wouldnt think it would be a factor with brand new stuff though. more like gold contacts that dont quite meet right imo. in my situation anyway. probably/possibly.
