Won't fire?
Hi all,
I just got a Striker Extreme motherboard and put in it a QX6600. The ram I chose is four sticks of OCZ 2N1066SR2GK PC2 8500 1G dual channel SLI Ready EPP 5-5-5-15. The video card is a PCI-e 8800GTS OC2. The PS is an Antec 550W. The problem is that after I connected everything, the blue lights around the motherboard light up but when I push the little power button on the motherboard, nothing happens. The ram is rated at 1066 and the motherboard might be defaulting to 800MHz. How do I get this thing to fire up? I thought that all faster ram also ran at slower speeds. Do I need to find some 800 ram to get it to fire and then reset the cmos to 1066 shut it down and then put the faster ram in? If this is the case, how to 1333 ram sticks work for overclockers? thanks, charles.... |
