    Newly assembled PC not booting
    « on: November 28, 2012, 06:52:46 AM »
    I have assembled a new PC with the following config:
    Intel Atom D2500HN motherboard
    Hynix 2GB SO-DIMM DDR3 Component Number HMT125S6BFR8C-H9N0
    ADATA SSD Drive SP900 64 GB
    Panache T-3311 Mini ITX cabinet
    USB Keyboard and Mouse

    On trying to boot the PC, the green LED (HD LED) flashes - two short, one long. No change appears on the screen - no BIOS screen or error message appears. No lights flash on the keyboard too.

    I have checked the RAM on a different PC and it works fine. I have not checked the SSD yet, but it is brand new and expected to be OK.

    Please help!!!

    2 short 1 long sounds like RAM to me...
    Did you check the MBoard Manual for a QVL list for what RAM is recommended for that board ? ?

      Yes, did that. The RAM I'm using is on the list.

      Try it with one stick...then i'd look up the beep codes for that BIOS...
      I could be wrong.

        Thanks Patio!!

        It WAS the RAM at fault. I tried the SO-DIMM in the other slot and it works fine!
