A friend gave me a new Intel DP45SG motherboard and a Q9550 Core 2 Quad processor<br>
so I bought what I thought would be a good set of DIMMs to go with it. The DIMMs<br>
are quantity 2 of DDR3 1333MHz 4GB. So I put it together in a new case and a 430W<br>
power supply. The system will turn on but I get no video. Looking over on-line docs<br>
for the motherboard I decided perhaps the 4GB DIMMs were not suited for the mother<br>
board so I purchased some 2GB DDR3 1333MHz DIMMs instead with high hopes that this<br>
would solve the no video problem. No such luck. The motherboard has an on-board<br>
mini speaker which I believe is where any post beep codes should come out. I am<br>
getting nothing from that speaker so I decided to try hooking a regular external<br>
speaker up to the standard audio ports to see if I was getting anything there.<br>
Nada, nothing, zilch.<br>
<br>
I tried two different video cards that work in other systems fine but I still get<br>
no video out when I power on this system.<br>
<br>
In looking over the specs for the q9550 processor I see it is supposed to have<br>
a 1333MHz FSB and the motherboard definitely lists support for DDR3 1333MHz memory.<br>
<br>
Anyone here have any ideas or suggestions?<br>
