My system won't boot - Overclock.net

My system won't boot past MP INIT. I am not overclocking at the moment and CMOS reset doesn't affect anything.

I recently upgraded my case and added a TRUE heatsink, with a mounted fan. I've also added another 2GB of PC8500 RAM. However, removing this doesn't affect anything, I still freeze at MP INIT.

I'm really stumped and pretty pissed off.

Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT: Missed the fact that you removed ram already. Then yes, it sounds liek there must be a short somewhere. Make sure no screws are loose in your case. Maybe take your mobo out and remount everything.

Try different ram.

I tried that, as it says in my first post.

I'll give that a go.

Back soon.

I managed to boot and I don't know how.

Cheers for the help.
