I love your Rush Hour analogy…

The Poor Gigabyte has been relegated to a box … but wil probably come back to life with an Althon.

But just before I was ready to stump on the thing I was thinking About the ram but I had them in the right slots DDR1 slot and DDR2 slot So then I put them in the DDR3 slot and DDR4 slot and bingo the system Started right up no problem with video or any thing else. So before you stump On your computer or throw it out the window try the ram, try a different slot Or make sure the ram is ok or is in the slot correctly. Hope this helps GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H (AM2)

I had a problem when I was building a computer
All components where new all cables and drives where install correctly
When the system was started I just got long beeps continuously
And no video signal I unplugged all cables and wires and started
Over again I did this about 3 times, I was ready to Stump on the thing
Like In Rush Hour 2 when Carter stumped on the gangster boss notebook
at the sauna. But just before I was ready to stump on the thing I was thinking
About the ram but I had them in the right slots DDR1 slot and DDR2 slot
So then I put them in the DDR3 slot and DDR4 slot and bingo the system
Started right up no problem with video or any thing else. So before you stump
On your computer or throw it out the window try the ram, try a different slot
Or make sure the ram is ok or is in the slot correctly. Hope this helps

When I built up the entirely new computer, I had continuous short beeps, a similar sort of problem. I suspected everything, but eventually deduced I had a faulty Mobo. I took the whole PC back to the Asian guy I bought the Mobo from and he said initially "No, no it couldn't be the motherboard - Gigabyte have been proven to be 99.8 reliable from the factory. It must be the power supply?" Anyway in this case the Mobo was proven faulty and he reluctantly gave me a new one under warranty. Anecdotally a guy came in with a suspect faulty power supply and the Asian guy told him "No, no it couldn't be the power supply; It must be the motherboard"..... Tell people what they need to know!
