Tried resetting the CMOS by taking out the battery and swapping over the jumper for 30 secs and then putting them all back? (Obviously while the power is off)

DMB2000uk Thanks for your help. This is for the other noobs that try as I am to build their first computer.. Even though 3 beeps on POST said memory - it wasn't. i had put the Gst 8800 in the PCI slot #2 because it didn't interfere with setting in the DDR2 memory, but the mobo guide clearly states to put video card in slot#1 if using only one card. Heck I'm thrilled to have gotten this far, can't wait till try BIOS config & OS stuff
