I have that same RAM with no issues. I even reinstalled vistax64 last night. I had a separate issue with 1201 and ended up using 803 bios and I still have everything set on auto (not set anything overclocked yet). I have mine in the yellow slots.

You say fans come on but no video, if the fans startup and then stop after a few secs it can be a short between motherboard and case - I had that with the backplate cooler that came with the thermalright 14 - had to junk it.

Good luck

Tried flashing to 1201, no difference.

This setup works with other RAM I have, just not the Dominators, fans spin, no video, nothing.

I had a previous P5Q-D that worked with the same RAM, and I can move this RAM to another mobo, it works fine.

I also tried setting the RAM voltage to 2.0 or higher manually, then putting the Dominators in, still no go.

Any ideas?

Could it be the Q9650? I don't have another CPU to test right now.
