[Solved] No BIOS

[thefly]

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?

[bcbgboy13]

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?

[mrow]

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.
