We have just purchased:
MSI K8N Platinum Motherboard Amd 64 3200+ venice CPU Crucial Ram 512mb pc3200 Leadtek winfast px6800 Ultra TDH Qtek 650 watt triple fan Power Supply (only 20 pin main PS) Artic Cooling freezer 64
Put it all together and the Computer will not BOOT Fails on Memory Test (MSI test ) However the Memory is not faulty (tested in various other machines)
We thought in might have been the 20 pin power supply so purchased a 20 to 24 pin adapter but after installing it there is no difference.
If we take out the PCI express video card and replace it with an old (1 meg PCI card) the computer will BOOT and access to BIOS does work
We upgraded the BIOS to the Latest version from MSI (version 3.6)
We don't know if the video card is faulty or the power supply is faulty or CPU or the Motherboard.
Any suggestions would be helpful
based on what you've said below, I'd vote for a faulty video card - does this one have the mini-molex 'additional power' connector that some have (or do all PCI Express cards manage to get away without that)? If it does have one, is it hooked up??
