Mine was a retail unit, not OEM. I think OEM is generally not warrantied after 30 days, that's the main reason I spend a few more bucks on retail units. FWIW, I never saw a cursor with my problem, the whole screen was just blank.

I get way over 1 gb. Even with 2gb and doing photoshop (well, Paint shop pro actually) I get large pagefile useage.

For the record, when I bought my 4800x2 it cost almost as much as the fx-60. And they only sent me the better chip because they were out of stock on the 4800, it's not a normal thing they do. They could have said "you'll have to wait until we have them in stock" which is what I expected to...

Update: AMD shipped me a new processor. System now works fine EXCEPT I can only run with one RAM chip installed - the other won't post. I think maybe one ram chip AND the cpu went down which is even stranger. Must have been power despite my UPS. BTW, huge thumbs up to AMD - they shipped...

Yes it's a new MOBO Yes I've tried a new Video card Yes I've tried swapping ram out - with NO ram in the system I don't get any error beep or anything at all. Yes I've tried a new PS I just tried getting the mobo out and running it table top, but the case power switch leads don't...

No change. Still no beeping, no nothin. RAM made no difference. This is maddening!

Couple issues to consider: 1) there are two LEDs on the MB. The first is green when I turn on my power supply. The other was dim (not on at all) until I pulled both RAM sticks - then it turned red even when the machine isn't powered up. 2) I believe the ASUS talking feature has to be...

Will a system post with no ram? Wouldn't I see something at least from the sytem bios even with a ram error? It's corsair ram btw and has always been stable. This was a well used system, nothing new. Right now I've got the heat sink off. Can I attempt to turn the system on long enough...

Yes it goes through a UPS. I took the chip out and it looks normal, if that means anything. edit: I should also note I don't hear any beep when powering on as well. All fans turn, hard drives spin up, but no evidence it's posting. I haven't taken all the ram out, but I figure if I...

Was away for weekend. System working perfectly before I left. Never a problem. Come back - monitors are both blank. If I unplug the monitor I get a test pattern from them. So far I've replaced with a new video card - no dice. Replaced motherboard after RMAing it - no change. New power...
