hmmmm..  I can tell this is going to be fun..  maybe even a rant 

Ok put the ram modules back the way they were..

Is your keyboard USB or the older PS2 type? 

[Heinstar]

it's a USB and I know it's working because I tried 3 different keyboards. Besides I don't think my brother's mob supports PS/2 anyway
If this forum can't help me with this problem I'm going to take My PC and my brother's PC to the local PC store for a fix. But I still can't believe my GPU stuffed both my PC and my bro's PC...and all I did was switch the GPU.

[EEVIAC]

I was going to suggest inserting the keyboard into a different usb port, I wasn't suspecting that your keyboard has a problem.  Try that if you haven't already.


The psu in your own computer might have enough power to run your bro's computer, try switching your psu over to his and try booting...   

If this doesn't work, I'm afraid I'm going to have to gracefully bow out... best of luck

[Heinstar]

okay i'll try that later right now im going to work, thanks anyways

Is your brother angry that you messed up his computer ? ?    Lol

After reading your description of your problem plus the things you've tried. At this point I'd actually assume that you've got a hardware issue with the computer. Especially when your computer is getting video distortions in the BIOS / boot screen. My guess would be you've got a bad video card, motherboard, and/or Power Supply.

Nathan, heinster pretty much isolated the problem with HIS computer to his video card, by installing it into his brothers computer and getting the same problem, although the psu in his bro's computer may not be sufficient in power.

The problem were dealing with at this point (i think) is with his BROTHER'S computer.  It just doesn't want to boot now (stuck at the "unganged mode" message) since he removed his vid. card from the computer.

1.  Here's a similar "post".  I don't understand much about it, other than this guy "Henry" suggesting the original poster got "Intel spec RAM for an AMD system".  Perhaps you would understand whether this applies to your brother's system.

     New Build 770-G45 won't post

Your brother's memory specs:
     F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ

2.  Any other compatible memory you could test your brother's machine with?

[Heinstar]

Unfortunately the only RAM I have is mine which is Transcend 1GB, DDR2-800 and I don't know if that is compatible with my bro's mobo. And also to the preview post, I'm sure my bro's PSU was sufficient in power because his is higher (550w) and mine is (500w). And keep in mind my bro's PC worked fine before I did this.

[EEVIAC]

although the psu in his bro's computer may not be sufficient in power.

pardon me on this, your bro's psu clearly has more wattage. I must of had a brain fart

Does your Brothers machine support DDR3 @ 1333 ? ?
This should be the 1st thing he checks...

[EEVIAC]

Does your Brothers machine support DDR3 @ 1333 ? ?

yes

From board manual:

"Support for DDR3 1666(O.C.)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules"

Even if the board didn't support 1333 MHz speeds, the ram would simply throttle back to the highest speed supported by the board.

This is somewhat of a mystery, although things do not break for no reason.  His brother's computer was fine, until he temporarily inserted the video card from his own computer to troubleshoot the card.  When his task of troubleshooting his video card was done, and the card was removed, his brother's computer fails to boot.  Hence, stuck at the "unganged mode" messege. 

In a nut shell, his brother's computer was fine until he inserted the video card from his own computer.

I want to make sure that it is my GPU that is the problem. So I want to use my brother's GPU on my PC to see if it works;

Here's my spec:
CPU: Intel E6600
GPU: NVIDIA 8800GTS(faulty the one that screwed up my brother's PC)
Mobo: GIGABYTE 965P-DS3P(rev. 3.3)
RAM: Transcend 1GB, DDR2-800 x2
PSU:500w Antec Earth Watts Power Supply

Here's my bro's PC spec:
CPU: AMD phenom II 720 TripleCore
GPU: Zotac GTX260*2(216SP) 896M DDR3(Requires 2 PCI-E_)
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AMD770/SB700 chipset/DDR3 1600(rev. 1.0)
RAM: G.Skill 2GB DDR3 1333 PC106666 (F3-10666CL9D-4GBBNQ) x2
PSU: Vantec ION2 620W Ultra Quite

Is it possible to just use my brother's GPU on my current spec? If I need to switch parts, from my brother's PC to mine which one do you suggest?

[EEVIAC]

Is it possible to just use my brother's GPU on my current spec?

Although I don't feel like checking, your bro's graphics card may require a larger wattage PSU, but you may be able to get by using his card just to see if the problem with lines on the screen, is corrected.  I wouldn't count on running the card up to max settings, though.

[Heinstar]

I can't be bothered to switch his PSU onto my PC, if I use my PSU and doesn't have enough power, would it break his GPU?
EDIT: nm I changed the PSU just in case, I can't risk breaking another PC parts
EDIT: *censored* it didn't work, It just went to BSOD and restarted. I hope I didn't screw up the GPU.
