What PSU are you using?

Using a Coolermaster Silent proM 700w modular

For AMI bios that would suggest "Conventional/Extended memory failure".

I think that sounds like a memory problem going off by head (can't remember but worth a shot!)

Take out all your memory sticks and put one stick in slot one, attempt to boot up and see what happens, if you get the same result, pick another one and slot it in slot 1, try boot up again, if nothing.. I am out of ideas LOL!

Do you have another motherboard you can try? Do you have another computer built up you can try?

EDIT: Whos your daddy LOL lucky shot in the dark, also.. try removing all your external periphirals you don't need..!

Cheers guys will try that 2morrow and ill ask a friend to try it in his pc

Cool, best of luck getting it sorted.

I don't understand how putting in a graphics card can screw with your memory.. stranger things have happened though I guess.

Let us know the results

Mind you, IBM bios reports it as Video (EGA) Display Circuitry.

No worries, XFX offers a double lifetime warranty, so if you're the second owner, the warranty still applies.
