I know this isn't a bleeding edge comp anymore, but I was hoping someone here might have a suggestion of two. First off the specs:
Intel e6300
Gigabyte 965p-ds3
2GB Corsair XMS6400
Nvidia 7950GT
Zalman 9500
Audigy 2ZS (Not connected currently)
Seagate 320GB HDD
DVD burner and dvd player
I booted into the BIOS, changed my FSB from 266 to 300, set the memory multiplier to 2.00, and set my RAM to 4-4-4-12 timings (as those are the recommended timings for that memory). I did NOT however up the mem voltage, big mistake, I know. I saved and rebooted...and it didn't do anything. Just sat there with nothing on screen for about 10seconds. Then it automatically shut down, came back on for 2-3 seconds, and shut down again; it will continue indefinitely unless I switch the power supply off. It does this every time I try to power on; no beeps or anything. The POST will not show and I cannot get into the BIOS. I tried to clear the CMOS by unplugging all power sources, put the CMOS jumper on, removed the battery, and held the power button (which I tested to make sure it wasn't shorting). I let it sit for about 5 minutes, plugged everything back the way it was...same problem.
Following the advice of several forum threads, I tried removing the power and battery overnight, pressing Insert while powering on, and trying some new 1.8v RAM in every mem slot. Nothing has worked. It still auto restarts every 2-3 seconds without POSTing.
So, I'm asking: What sounds like the problem? Bad motherboard? RAM? CPU or PSU? Am I just retarded and not doing something? Any help would be much appreciated.
