[QUOTE="Pl8er, post: 2409287, member: 540634"] Hey there. I've read some of your posts on the forum and kinda get the jists of what is going on. First off, don't get rid of the pentium D 805. If you have the right model I can send you a link to where they got that powered up to 4 ghz PLUS. Its a pretty good overclocker. Core2 duo is a faster chip using MUCH less power though, but I like the pentium D. Now onto your problem. Although I think it is happening due to your ram I would say that its not that the ram is bad its more than likely that the motherboard does not accept that ram. I have been doing builds on PC's for a long time and I have not once had any luck with an ECS board. You could pick up a cheap ASUS board for around the same price and they are tier1. Try resetting the CMOS (jumpers on the board) the instructions to do so are in the manual. Sometimes it just needs to be reset to allow it to work with your proc. Make sure that you seated the processor properly, also check the ram (i know it was said) and the video card itself. Also check that the board accepts that processor. It can fit the socket but not support the chip. For instance some boards to do accept dual core, or if they do they need a cmos upgrade and the crappy thing is really the only way to do it is to put an older chip in. Although some of the bigger companies will actually send you a new cmos to install yourself. Let me know if any of this helps. If not we can try some other things. [/QUOTE]
