It's your RAM.

The memory? If you have 2 sticks, try removing one and see if it post, then the other way with the other one...???

Damm, you beat me to it..

 

[selectodude]

I'm a terse person

 

[Firefly]

removed one stick of ram, should I try to removed the other and put this back in?

 

[selectodude]

do every combination. RAM A in Slot1, RAM B in Slot 1, you need to figure out if one of them is dead, or if they both are dead.

Always worht a shot... And if neither work and you have a spare somewhere try it too, but without the others

 

[Firefly]

that would cause me not to get into my bios?

 

[selectodude]

here's how you can find out, hook your speakers to the onboard sound, and then put 1 stick in at a time. If you hear "memory check failed' or something like that, RMA the suckers.

my sound message is off by default.

, can memory be the only problem?

 

[selectodude]

I'm going on experience because if you look at the thread I made, it is exactly the same as what your problem is. I have the same RAM, Motherboard, and processor and so I'm assuming that you made the same mistake I did. It is close to impossible to fry anything on an Asus because you can't really give anything enough voltage to fry. Thats all. I'm 99% positive it's your RAM.

Thank you, I'm going to but RAM tomarrow.
