disconnet all things from psu
leave only mobo connected to psu,
reset bios and try again

i got a crappy 400w generic psu.. i though my psu was top notch and was working just fine last week. its all 1 week old.

diag leds #2, #3, #4 mobo are lit. coudl it be a cold boot issue? i have read a little bit about it tonight but dont know how to get arround it.

my ram likes higher voltage than normal


edit: Apparently one of the memory modules was the culprit as the system wont even post when that memory stick was in the sytem, I tried that same stick in all 4 mem slots and system woudlnt post. tried the other stick and booted everytime.

im using my backup (value) ram will get them redlines rma'd. ggrr...
