Posted June 6, 2014 My friend is building a PC with a Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H mobo. At first he had an AMD Phenom II with this mobo with which it would only turn on for like one second. So he bought an FX-6300 and now thefans keep spinning but we get no video output whatsoever. We think the GPU (XFX 6870) isn't the issue because we also tested with a newly bought cheapo card (Geforce 210 ). Also the RAM is 3x1GB of Samsung PC3-8500U-07-10-A0. We also tested with two different displays and HDMI AND DVI with a VGA adapter. We have also pulled the CMOS battery. Any help is greatly appreciated. My personal rig: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/139780-zalman-my-first-build/ I use it partially as a Hackintosh. Don't judge me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 6, 2014 Author The problem wasn't the ram. We put in the three sticks and it booted into the bios and when we put one stick into the last ram slot it still booted. No idea why it wouldn't boot with the same configuration the first time (I wasn't there when he tried) My personal rig: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/139780-zalman-my-first-build/ I use it partially as a Hackintosh.
