Hi.  I've just put together the basics of my second build.  I am a complete noob when it comes to configuration.

 

For some reason, I can not get my bios to load on my Syncmaster screen.

 

I have moved ram to different slots, removed all cards.  I'm down to the bare minimum wired up.

 

I have no board speaker so I can't report on any sounds.

 

My configuration is below.  I believe I've followed the parts recommendation completely.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Norco 4224

Supermicro MBD-X9SCM-F-O

Intel Core i3 2100 Dual Core LGA1155 3.1GHZ Sandy Bridge

Corsair TX750 V2 750W ATX

Kingston ValueRAM 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1333 CL9 240-PIN SDRAM

Are you sure that PSU is compatible with the Supermicro board?

These Supermicro motherboards require ECC memory - if the ones you got are not ECC they will not work

The recommended PSU is the CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W.  I would be shocked if the 750W isn't compatible.  How can I verify this?

 

Where do I check if my ram is ECC? Kingston ValueRAM 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1333 CL9 240-PIN SDRAM???

What's the model number of the RAM? Link to where you bought it from?

That isn't ECC RAM. It says it on the website you ordered from.

I guess that's my problem.  Thanks so much mrow!

Will any 240 pin DDR3 1333 ECC ram work?

It has to be 1.5V (as opposed to 1.35V) but otherwise yes, you should be OK. This here will work: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139262

 

I used a Newegg.ca link since I'm assuming you're Canadian since you ordered the other stuff from NCIX.

Here is the link to the correct memory on NCIX: http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=62867
