Got my new toys last evening . MSI K9NGM2, AM2 X2 3800, and 2 ea. 512 MB corsair value DDR2 667. I put them together and the fans spin for about 3 sec. then stop and no post. The PS is a 20 pin LC 450 with 18 A on the 12V.
I tried clearing the bios, and stripping the system to CRT, KB, and mouse only (not even a drive). I tried each mem stick (this is really why I got 2 sticks) alone. I have no spares since it's socket AM2, DDR2, and PCIe. Come to think of it, I'll try and dig up a PCI video card in the pile.
One odd thing I noticed is the CPU fan header is 4 pin. I plugged the stock 3 pin fan in there even though there is no "control" wire coming from the fan, just +12v, -12V and sense.
Locally it's 6:25 AM so I may get some sleep before I check back in here. If you've got ideas, I'm all ears.
