Kingston 1GB DDR2 533MHz/PC2-4200 Non-ECC CL4 1.8V Unbuffered Dimm 240 pin

Cheap and cheerful I know but it all worked fine until I got up next morning and no video? RMA`d the board but the new board does the same.

Fans spin ok etc but no beeps and no picture. Tried pci vga card but same.

Where next?

Ram, cpu or PSU

I will have to buy each bit to test so whats my first choice do you reckon?

I did have a bit of trouble with the hsf where one of the legs bent back but I got it through the hole ok and it seems a good tight fit each time.

My hope is that its the ram but could the cheap psu be the culprit and is that why no beeps.....do you get beeps for a faulty cpu?


I take it you've checked the screen cable??
Other than that it could be RAM, CPU or motherboard. Not exactly helpful I know, but it may be a case of elimination.
