question on system builds

[njc]

I started four builds for a law firm last night, only got one system together, and have some questions.

I'm using four old(ish) inventoried boards - Intel D915GEV - link

Intel P4 3.2 GHz - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116197

This RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820141225

Since I am using older hardware (the motherboards), i threw together the first system, fired it up, and it gave me the intel mobo screen, and then a blinking cursor.

I turned it off, had to go, and i'm gonna check on it today, and i'll look at the thread

What is your question exactly? You haven't said.

You built a new system and you just see a blinking cursor? Is an Operating System installed? When I bought a new CPU and Motherboard, I had to reinstall my Operating System.

I'm wondering if there is some incompatibility in the hardware i have. Notably, the motherboard, processor, RAM combo i have posted. I want to make sure that there isn't some stupid mistake like this that i missed, so i can go ahead and return anything i need to return. thanks
