Hi guys. I just built my first computer. I've never even watched someone else do it. I just put together a:
Antec Super Lanboy case
Antec Neopower 480 w psu
DFI Lanparty, NF4 Ultra-D, 939 pin
AMD Athlon 64, 3200+
eVGA 6800 Ultra PCI-E
2 x 512 Kingston Hyper X 2-2-2-5 T1 Ram
Pioneer DVD-RW
Floppy
Seagate 120 gig S-ata hd
I slapped it all together with the one stick of Ram in the Orange slot closest to the end of the board. It started fine, so I loaded up Windows and installed drivers etc. I shut it off to try and put in the second stick of Ram in the other Orange slot but the computer wouldnt start up. I took the second ram out and it booted up fine. I said screw it and installed half life 2, but as soon as I entered the game I got the blue screen of death (physical memory dump) and figured the bios needed to be updated. I used Winflash and updated with the 310 bios update for DFI, NF4 Ultra D. I rebooted but now it is stuck in a Memtest86 and all it does is run some test and it passes with no errors but I can't escape out of it. I shut it off and I can press DELETE to go into the bios. Not sure what to do here. Please help as I'm so anxious to get this computer up and running.
Oh, as a sidenote I shut off the computer and put in the second stick of Ram and it recognizes it now and the computer loads up but then it goes into that Memtest 86 screen everytime.
