Hi Blzzzn
Did you do the barebones set-up as detailed at the topic you first post on?
The CPU and Ram details that you have provided do not tell us anything, see the attached link that I have provided, it is the MBs QVL (qualified vendors list) and it tells you what CPUs and Ram have been tested and approved with the MB, are your CPU and Ram listed? http://206.108.48.60...?S_ID=502&tab=3 if so let us know which items.

Be aware that MB manufacturers cannot test all Ram so yours may not be listed but be compatible.

Have you connected both the 24 pin main power connection and the 4 pin 12V ATX power supply to the CPU.

Can you provide a link to your PSU details as I cannot find any details on it, a worrying sign and it may be the cause of your problem!

[Blzzzn]

The ram is not listed on the compatible list, checking the CPU now.the pus is the power source?

[phillpower2]

Yes the PSU is the power supply unit.
The barebones set-up results!

What are your Ram details so we can have a look at them for you.

[Blzzzn]

The ram is EDURCE E117098 94V-O 2GB,DD2 DIMM,l serial BOQl-T POH150671. The CPU is compatible.can't find web site for antecedent will keep looking

[phillpower2]

Sorry I cannot find any information at all about the Ram
Can I ask where you obtained these items from!

[Blzzzn]

The ram was taken from a old tower that was given to me.the power source AntecVP450 got it at staples

Three things I have got to ask, how old, , how do you know if the Ram works and is DD2 a typing mistake (do you mean DDR2)?

a new Antecedent 450W power source.boots

So where did the above name come from if the PSU is an Antec? http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817371045

[Blzzzn]

The DD2 is not a typo got rid of it replacing with crucial 1GB 266mhz.I don't know how that name came about I caught it and spelled it correct Antec

[phillpower2]

Found this http://www.amazon.co...ASIN=B001ISJ964 looks like it is specific to certain brands.
The Antecedent just had me puzzled.
