So I picked up:
opeteron 165
DFI lanparty sli d
2 gigs corsair valueram
Problem is that I can't get my rig to post. I have tried everything. I get 4 LED lights on which indicates that my motherboard is not registering. Powers up just fine...but no video, no beeps, nothing. So do I need a different motherboard? I ordered my cpu from newegg, but can't return it. I was told that perhaps my opteron 165 isn't supported by my motherboard out of the box and I would have to upgrade it's bios...but without a supported 939 chip at my disposal...I am at a loss. I really have no idea what to do. I have built quite a few computers and have never had this problem, however this is my first time going with a server chip on multiple recommendations. II have tried different PSUs...just 1 ram stick etc. Ideas please?
