Hi,
Saw you sig and you have a powerful system........more than powerful than mine.
I noticed the 300w PSU....... to be honest, I think you CPU is working too hard as there is not enough power being supplied.......

865PE Neo2-P Platinum Edition and P4 3.2 fsb800 memory and colers

Hello guys is my first time in this forum
I buy a MSI 865PE Neo2-P Platinum Edition and a P4 3.2 Box Northood Fsb 800 with the cooler on.
My question is what Cooler is better than the box one from Intel?
What 512 memory are work perfect on this sistem?
thanks
Paulo

hi Tritek,
welcome to the forum.
1. do your system have problem with heat? What is the CPU temperature read? Is the stock fan too loud for you? There are lots of cooler out there, expensive one especially, are way better than Intel stock cooler. But do you need better cooler?
2. any 512MB DDR works. To work "perfect", you need DDR400 to fully utilize it.

My "MSI 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum" Is not working

I have an MSI 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum and it has stopped working properly, I'm fairly sure that the problem is coming from the motherboard however I would like another person opinion.
Basically everytime i try to play a game it works for about 5 seconds then comes up with a bluse screen telling me to check Windows has needed to shut down because there has been an error and that it could be caused by drivers or that I need to disable BIOS caching and shadowing
So far I have tried disableing BIOS caching and shadowing. Changing the RAM around and using different modules. I have formatted the Hard Drive. Tried using a different graphics card. Reinstalled the BIOS. Uninstalled all the drivers and tried different ones.
None of this has made any difference.

Since you already have reformated/made a fresh OS install, here´s some things you can try…….
- Set dram voltage to 2.7v in bios
- Use Driver Cleaner when uninstalling VGA drivers
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3214.html
- Install latest IntelInf driver
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Product_Filter.asp?ProductID=816
- DirectX
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0A9B6820-BFBB-4799-9908-D418CDEAC197&displaylang=en
- Install Nvidia VGA drivers
If that don´t help……………
- Try another VGA card
- List 3,3v+12v amps on PSU

865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum and PCI-e

Hello,
I am using a 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum atm, with an AGP slot GFX card. (9800 pro).
I want to upgrade to PCI-e and want a few pointers for a decent socket 478 board that is PCI-e ready. I don't want to have to change my CPU.
many thanx.

Indeed...
I was just pointing out that even the fastest agp card is lots slower then a midrage pci-e card.
I still think any upgrade to the agp system is a waste of money. CPU limitation ... 478 P4's rly aren't fast enough to feed modern gpu's
In case he still wants a agp card
the 7800GS is the obvious choise, and you might want to check out albatron's 7600GS agp card.
EDIT: this socket 478 asrock board has a pcie slot http://www.asrock.com/product/P4Dual-915GL.htm (don't forget to read the VGA card compatibility list on that page)

[865PE/G Neo2 Series] DDR Memory with 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum

SYSTEM SPEC: 400w PSU, Pentium 4 3.2ghz 800mhz FSB (HT), Matrox Parhelia 128 8x AGP card, MSI Neo2 PFS Platinum motherboard.
Hi there. Im looking for some serious help with my computer. I have a MSI 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum mobo and have been using 512mb DDR RAM with it- the ram is PC2700 (333mhz), non-ECC, ubuffered, non-parity, 184 pin. Now, I have just purchased a new DIMM. This one is
1gb PC3200 (400mhz), non-ECC, Unbuffered, non-parity, HIGH DENSITY- DUAL IN LINE, 128 x 64, 184 pin
It doesnt work and my system refuses to boot up. I checked out the specs of the 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum, and it says in the table that you can only use 400mhz DDR RAM with an 800mhz FSB processor (which I have). It says it supports 400mhz RAM, "DUAL CHANNEL", non-ECC, unbuffered memory, but no mention of "HIGH DENSITY" or "DUAL IN LINE". Is there a difference between "DUAL CHANNEL" and "DUAL IN-LINE". Also, does anyone know what the difference is between 128 x 4 and 128 x 64, they are both 1gb? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! I have seen some RAM from the same dealer which is not "HIGH DENSITY" and has the 128 x 4 configuration, and is still a 1gb module. Is that safe to buy? What RAM do I need (in detail) for my motherboard. Thanks!

Always useful with a complete systemspec.including PSU and biosversion, so please make one.
Can´t see anything wrong with the basic RAM specification - it also matches the MoBo basic specifications:
- Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 2.5V DDR SDRAM.
- Supports up to 4GB memory size without ECC.
- Supports Dual channel DDR266/333/400/433/466/500/533 MHz and up.
Have you tried removing the old RAM and booting only with the new 1GB stick alone ?
Using mixed RAM, sometimes works in "Single mode" (see mobo manual), but is not recommended.
Running Dual-channel ( 2x512 or 1024x2 ) is preferable and gives best performance, but then you need two identical sticks.
You may also need to increase RAM voltage some in bios (example 2.7v) to achieve best stability.
If you have some RAM compability issues with 1GB sticks - 2x512 RAM stick would be safer and give better performance, unless your aiming for more then 2GB in total.
You can also read about the RAM testreport here;
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/testreport_pdf/6728v2.0/memory.pdf
About "Dual In line Memory Module" - I think it´s the long version for older DIMM description.
Just like "Double Data Rate" is the long version for DDR RAM.
DDR means Double Data Rate RAM (in opposition to the SDRAM or Single Data Rate). DDR RAM bends the transfer rate for clock cycle. It can go quicker because it executes 2 instructions for cycle of clock of the RAM instead of an only instruction like it is the case of the SDR.

LiteOn SOHW-1633S problems on Neo2 54g Platinum

Hello everyone,
recently I bought MSI Neo2 54 Platinum mobo with 3200+ AMD64 on 939 socket. Everything is just fine, exept one thing - every time I access CD Win XP goes mad:
1. If I see properties of my LiteOn SOHW-1633S DVD-RW drive in device manager, don't touch any settings and just press "OK", XP crashes with blue screen;
2. Everytime (100%) I insert Audio CD in tray and use _any_ audio cd playback app to play it, XP crashes with blue screen, complaining about CDFS error and mentioning something about gearAspiWDM.sys driver;
3. Usualy, when I insert data CD, I have to wait very long for drive to read it, but when CD is spinned up, reading is OK, but if spinning stops because let's say I read some pdf out of CD for some time, then drive cannot read that disk again on second access, and I have to reload (eject) CD to make it be read again.
First, I thought, that problem is caused of some buggy firmware of my Liteon SOHW-1633S, but the same problem persists even reflashing drive with newest firmware from site.
Second, I checked BIOS settings, all DMA and PIO settings are set to AUTO, enabled only "IDE prefetch" option, DMA on all SATA disabled (should it be anabled, btw?), so no "super tunning" options are set.
And last, after installing XP, I went straight to nvidia site, downloaded and installed 5.10 version of unified nforce chipset driver. No drivers from MSI mobo CD at all on my system, and corecell and other msi utilities are installed, but not started.
I tried that 5.10 with SW IDE driver installed and without, effect is the same, system still hangs on CD access. Any recommendations, tests and opinions are very appreciated.
P.S. AMD64 939 3200+, 512MB DualChannel PQI, Seagate Baracuda 160 SATA, Liteon SOHW-1633S, Leadtek FX5700 VIVO. All nVidia drivers from site, no drivers from CDs.
Thank YOU very much,
-c.

WELCOME.
1) ALWAYS set ANY CD/DVD-RW as secondary master in your system.
2) Please give full system specs, including PSU rails (look at my sig).
3) What about your IDE cable (does it has 80 conductive wires or is the one that has 40)?
4) If none of the above mentioned works, this could be a memory problem. Try with other type of memory or you can run memtest for 1 day to see if your memory is faulty.
Edyros!

Neo2-PFS Platinum Edition and LiteON CD-RW Problems

Hi,
I have a Neo2-PFS motherboard and I can't get my LiteON CD-RW to work.
When the computer is not overclocked it takes about 5-6 minutes to burn a CD at
48x and the read buffer jumps from like 20%-100% constantly. When I overclock my computer I can't burn at all, I get bad disks. I'm using Nero 6 Ultra Edition. I have tried Fireburner but no luck. The burner worked fine on my Abit BE-7 mobo
even when my computer was overclocked. Could it be a problem with a burner? When it was working fine it took less than 3 min to burn a CD at 48x.
Thanks for any help,
Mario

Well one of the "Side-Effects" of Overclocking the FSB, is Possible HDD Errors, Loss of Data, All around Instability, And Dead PC , OK, Bad Joke, But True, so I dont see Having Underrun's, or Buffer Problems, when Burning a CD/DVD, While your System is Overclocked as anything Abnormal ...When Running Just about all the Componants "Out Of Spec", You Should expect some Negative outcomes, Especially when It Comes to Copying or Reproducing Data...Now for the Reason it is Not Burning Correctly while at Default FSB Speeds, is another Story Completely, Have you Trie another Utility Besides "Nero 6"?...Do you have the Latest "Lite-On" Firmware, from their Site?..........Sean REILLY875

865PE Neo2-FIS2R and Geil memory problem

With 512MB (2x256) of Corsair XMS 3700, the system is perfectly stable (runs 24/7 crunching for UD, also have done Prime95 torture test).
With 1-GB (2x512) of Geil PC4000 Ultra Platinum, the system is very unstable. It usually won't even boot fully into Windows without a BSOD (which vary) or if it does get into Windows it crashed soon thereafter.
If I put the Corsair memory back in (like I have them right now, to be able to use the system to post this message), the system is back to 100% stable, so it seems to be entirely a memory-related problem.
MSI 865PE Neo2-FIS2R (MS-6728)
Intel P4 2.4C 800FSB (HT enabled) @ 3.19-GHz
AVC Sunflower 2 HSF
420-W PS
Windows XP Pro SP1a
BIOS settings:
Dynamic OC Disabled
Performance mode Slow
DRAM Freq 266
CPU Bus 266
DDR Clock 354
AGP/PCI 67/34
CPU vCore 1.6000
DDR volts 2.70
AGP volts 1.50
SPD Disabled
3-4-4-8, 4 burst
Have run MemTest standard test on the Geil modules individually and as a pair, and have tried different slots. Testing thus far shows no errors when each module is installed separately, but when used in a pair there are sometimes errors shown.
Have tried the modules in slots 1,3 and slots 2,4 with no difference.
Have tried setting DDR voltage from 2.70 up to 2.85v for the Geil (approved up to 2.9v) with no apparent change in stability.
Have tried changing Spread Spectrum setting between enabled and disabled. Disabled seems to be better, but problem remains.
Have tried using SPD disabled with settings listed above, and SPD enabled (which sets timings at 2.5-4-4-8,8).
Edit: I'd asked for advice, but then realized that the very limited timeframe in which I could return the Geil would expire if I waited beyond business hours today. So I've RMA'd the Geil and have ordered a 1-GB Corsair TwinX XMS 3700 pack instead.

I've had similar problems to you but with Corsair TwinX LL's and if you read back a month in this forum you will see others have also with various memories on the 865 FISR.
The fix I found was Kingston memory but others have had problems with Kingston. There was a thread running a week or two ago attempting to document successful memory mobo combinations.
Bottom line, stick with what works on your mobo until MSI fix the incompatability/instability issues.

865PE Neo2 -FIS2R Problems

I purchased a brand new MSI 865PE Neo2-FISR along with a P4 2.4C(OEM), a Thermaltake Spark 5c cooler and a Corsair XMS Twinpack(TWINX512-3200C2PT) of DDR400 memory.
The install went fine, the system booted and ran very well right out of the box. I installed the Live Update program from MSI and it updated itself. I then used that utility to generate a BIOS flash/recovery disk to update the bios from 1.10 to 1.30. The update worked fine and I rebooted the machine into Windows XP with no problems.
I then decided to do some tweaking in the new 1.3 BIOS. After several unsuccessful memory/Dynamic Overclocking settings the system refused to boot. I tried the Clear CMOS jumper to reset the defaults but it still would not boot. I checked the D-Bracket, 3 red 1 green(lower right) which indicates that the video card is not initializing. I attempted reseating the video card (a PNY Geforce4 TI4200) with no luck, I then replaced that card with a GeForce4 MX440 SE with no luck. I tried four other video cards, 2 AGP and 2 PCI, with no success.
At this point I pulled the board out of the system and let it sit with the battery out of the board hoping that the BIOS would reset to default values. I reinstalled the board with all the hardware and again the same D-Bracket error with no video generated. I tried different arrangements of memory using the new Corsairs and various other DDR333 & DDR266 again no luck.
What is going on with this thing? How could an errant timing change completely lock out the VGA card? And why can I not clear the settings to allow the card to initialize?
This thing is getting RMA'd soon if I can't find an answer.
Anyone have any ideas or similiar troubles? X(

There are a lot of reviews lately that have it as one of the fastest MB's around at the moment, here are a handful I found:

865PE Neo2 -FIS2R POST problem

I'm having a problem with my newly built system and hoped that someone here might be able to help.
I am using the 865PE Neo2 -FIS2R motherboard with a 3.0Ghz P4 800Mhz FSB and a single 512MB Value Select Corsair RAM (DDR 3200, 200/400Mhz). The installed Video Card is a Leadtek Geforce3 Ti. There are no other expansion cards installed. There is no HDD.
When I power on my PC, I hear 2 short beeps, a pause, and then 8 short beeps. I'm also not getting any video. I looked up the beep codes on the AMI Bios web page. 2 beeps for video card issues and 8 beeps for memory issues.
I think the d-bracket is a great touch, so I check out its LED indicators. It shows the pattern denoting a memory issue. The only other RAM module I have laying around is a single generic PC 2100 266Mhz module. So, I pop it in. When I power on the system I get the same beep codes and LED configuration on the d-bracket.
Are the MSI Neo2 boards extremley picky about RAM? Should I be using two modules as per the RAM population table in the manual? Is there a recommended brand/model of RAM? Is there anything else I should be looking at as the cause?
I plan on picking up some different RAM modules over my lunch break today but before I did I wanted to check with those who know before I blow money on them.
Thanks for any help/advince.

KevinS,
Sad to say but there are some Corsair RAMs are known for instability problems with MSI mobos, especially the Low Latency RAM with the NEOs and NEO2s. That's why MSI has to test the RAMs to make sure that there is a list of confirmed and compatible RAMs for the mobo.
Pheng,
This AVATAR is better than the last one, at least it's not the 3X rated type... but I'll put an NC-16 PG for it hehehe... . Another thing is that I did not say that I hate the previous AVATAR at all... lol... Just feel that it is unsuitable for a tech forum where people from all over the world in all age and genders will be visting and viewing the threads. I hope you understand the suitation here .

865PE NEO2 FIS2R memory problem

I have this 865PE NEO2 FIS2R with a 3ghz northwood (512K cache, 800 fsb).
initially I bought a 1GB Geil PC3500 DDR dual channel kit. installed those into slot 1 and 3, installed windows...during install I would get blue screens. recently I bought a new PC-3700 DDR dual channel kit (industry standard generic stuff). I bought those cause the place I got it from claimed it works on the i875 NEO FIS2R. I figured if it works on the 875P, it should work on the 865PE. with the new memory I get blue screens a tad more often.
I tried both geil sticks again this time as single channel in slots 1 and 2 (Ch. A). I still got blue screens. I did the same with the new PC-3700 RAM, blue screens with that too.
I took those sticks out, and tried 1 Geil PC-3500 stick in slot 1, no blue screens.
Whats the deal here? shouldn't dual channel memory work as dual channel in a dual channel board? WHy can't I use 2 sticks of the same RAM in this board!
is it just incompatiable with geil dual channel? If so what about the PC-3700 RAM I tried as dual. I am thinking about trying a set of OCZ dual channel RAM, but I feel I already got $400 worth of RAM I can't use, I don't really want to waste another $200 if this is just a crappy board.
I'm thinking of just getting the new Asus with the SiS 655TX chipset, supposed to be faster anyway. 2 sticks of RAM would most likely work in that board.
I really don't want to spend anymore money on this though...I spent enough.
the specs:
P4 3ghz northwood
865PE NEO2 FIS2R (with updated 2.3 bios)
Chieftech 650 watt Power supply 36A, 36A, & 32A
BFG geforce FX 5900 Ultra 256MB (also tried an old geforce 2 mx 32MB)
memory tried: 1GB geil PC-3500 dual channel kit & 1GB generic dual channel kit
3com Network interface card
WD 120GB SE hard drive
Plextor 8X DVD-RW drive
Lite on 16X DVDROM drive

This problem is not yet solved....
I tried increasing the ram voltage to 2.8v, it ran fine for about 3 days...then boom..restart
I am seeing other people are having the same problem with these 865/875 boards.
after raising the ram voltage didn't work I tried unplugging all of my extra hard drives 1 by 1 with the memory set to 2.7v.
I am at the point where I have only my boot drive connected with the two DVD drives.
But I am still thinking its my power supply...that power supply caculator page says I need a 519 watt PS?? I have a true550 which is only 530 watt max.
If I do need to add 20% to the power calculated, I would need a 622 watt PS???
I am running speedfan now....how low is the voltages ok to drop to?
the +12 dropped to 11.19, max is 11.80
the rest of the voltages are staying more or less constant .
Oh yea, on occasion the nb fan stops, I get a warning in corecenter saying 0 RPMs.
Also I can't set the fans to high speed, 6000RPM for the nb, and 5000RPM for the CPU.
If I set corecenter to user, and move the slide up to 8, the max is only 3375RPM for the CPU and 3750RPM for the NB fan.
Also every once in awhile the power LED on my case will go out while the system is running.
But thats been doing that for awhile now!
I'm thinking I will connect up my other hard drives again and run this speed fan program again.
update:
I reconnected my drives, ran speed fan, noticed it stops responding after 10 min...I get an error saying smbus cannot be scanned...or something like that.
Also I've got errors when downloading saying I have no ports available. it sounds like the bus is shutting down??
This is not the only MSI 865PE NEO2 FIS2R I have ran into problems with
it looks like I will be getting a new board next week....either an Asus or Abit.

Memory Problems - Advice on quality memory for 865PE Neo2

I have 2 x 512 MB DDR400 in Dual Channel configuration in my 865PE Neo2 mobo. It's a noname brand (the only mention on it are the letters "VM"). A friend recently warned me about the problems that my arise with cheap memory, so I ran memtest-86 and Windows Memory Diagnostic (http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp). WMD gave no errors, but memtest86 gave 2 errors. I then tested the sticks individually and standard tests gave no errors. I then ran the extended tests and it gave errors on the extra tests. However the errors were not always the same. Furthermore, sometimes a pass gave 2 errors, sometimes it gave 3. Since the memory is still under warranty I have two options:
- Exchange for another set of noname memory sticks
- Pay the extra cash for quality memory
I'm inclined to take the second option, so my question is:
- What brand and model of memory do you advise? I don't overclock and I probably never will. Reliability and stability are all that matters to me. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the input. After running memtest for almost 24 hours with various tests, here's my findings:
I didn't change a thing in my BIOS. Exactly the same settings that gave errors (everything in default mode and dinamic overclocking off). I started with memtest's default set-up:
RSVD MEM: 112K
MEMMAP: e820-std
TEST: standard
I ran the test for a total of 14 passes. No errors were found.
I then, ran the extended test set-up for 10 passes. One 2 bit error was reported on the 5th pass and on the 5th pass only, in test #10.
In the light of this, I decided to run test #10 isolatedly, to see if the error showed up again. In a total of 10 passes no errors were found.
I re-run the tests once again, this time with the "ALL" test options chosen. 8 passes no errors.
I then decided to change the "memory sizing" feature to "ALL BIOS" to test those remaining 112K that were no tested in the default set-up. The program jammed at test #3 after having reported 122 000 errors! memtest's manual says this is not a stable test configuration on some mobos. I guess that is an understatement!
So, I decided to change "memory sizing" to "probe" mode which is supposed to be more thourough that the others and more stable than "all bios". After 11 passes, no errors were reported.
What can I conclude from all this testing? Probably, that 1 or 2 sporadic errors have little or no meaning. Also, that memtest should be run more than once in order to have enough data for a reliable conclusion.
As things stand, I believe I'll just make one more test: play some fast n' furious 3D game for a few hours If everything runs stable there is no reason to change memory. Anyhow, the seller wouldn't change it without finding some errors on it and chances are he wouldn't.
I would like to hear the opinions and thoughts of others on this experience. Thanks.

(865PE Neo2) - Memory Controller Problems ???

Hi, I've been having problems with my RAM. I've run MEMTEST and found that my RAM continually failed test #5 (64 Block move). However, I pulled the RAM and tested in a friend's computer..... and it passed without any problems..... I went back to my computer and continually changed the BIOS setting until I finally got something to work....
What I did, was change the DRAM Freq from 400 down to 333. And it seems to be stable..... (The RAM was meant to run at 400)
The people at Corsair offered to replace the RAM, however, because both sticks produce them same problem, and because it works at 333 but not 400, and because it fails test #5 and not any other test, then they think the problem lies somewhere other then the RAM. And at the stage, i tend to agree.....
Now someone suggested it might be the Memory Controller..... I have no idea what that means..... but it sounds plausable.... Eitherway, I believe it might have something to do with the Motherboard..... And I was hoping someone here might have an idea on how I can either test it, or fix it.....
Thanks a bunch.....
My SYSTEM Specs are.....

Hi,
I've tried the RAM sticks individually, as well as 1,3 and 2,4..... And it doesn't make a difference.
I've aslo Disabled Spread Spectrum
And I've also tried all these setting, plus more.... @400Mhz
2-3-3-6
2-3-3-7
2-3-3-8
2.5-3-3-6
2.5-3-3-7
2.5-3-3-8
3-3-3-6
3-3-3-7
3-3-3-8
all without success..... And what i mean, is that I still get error#5 in memtest. And ALWAYS the error occures in the 92%-96% portion of the test.....
HOWEVER, When I drop the DRAM Freq to 333.... No problem..... All is fine..... Even at 2-3-3-6
Unfortunately, I doubt I will be able to test any other DDR400 memory in my system, but it would be interesting to know the results.....
I also find marginal confort knowing this problem is a bit 'common', however, i would find MORE comfort solving the problem :-)
Thanks :-)

865PE Neo2 Memory problems

Hi All,
I just put together a new pc with the following configuration:
P4 2.4GHz FSB 800 w/ stock HSF
MSI 865PE Neo2-LS
2 x 256MB Hynix DDR400
ATI Radeon 9000Pro
80GB Maxtor 7200 RPM
Enermax 350W Dual Fan PSU
Windows XP Pro
The problem: When using the two sticks of memory (in either dual channel or single channel) the pc crashes everytime starting Windows.
If I use only one stick it boots up fine. Hynix is on MSI approved vendor list so I can't see what the problem might be!!
I tried with different memory type (DDR333) in one channel and works fine.
So, each time I use more than one slot the system crashes.
Any ideas why? Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.

The only time when my windows crashes is when i use the "Turbo" setting in the bios..The only setting i can use is "Slow". But that's because i don't use good memory, the memory you use is high rated.
Do you have the latest bios, 1.30? And did you try some other memory Dram timings? Try to contact Hynix, did you try this site

maybe it will help you any further. )

865Pe Neo2-V: Froze- no display- no beep. mb or cpu problem???

motherboard: 865Pe Neo2-V
cpu: intel p4 3.2ghz
memory: kingston 512x2
vga: ati radeon 850xt
The problem i'm having is this...
Everything was working fine and all of a sudden my computer froze.
So I tried ctrl+alt+del but didn't work so i pressed the reset button.
I was waiting for it to reboot, but i hear the fans running but no display.
So i thought maybe the monitor was the problem but
i tested it with a different computer and it's fine. and the hard drive too.
What i noticed is that after the computer starts, I don't hear the beep (once) that it's running ok and
proceeds with the actual booting with hard drive.
Then i thought it's the vga, and tested, but it's working ok.
I think it's between motherboard and the cpu...
So i decided to test the beeps, and I ran the comp without any memory, it didn't beep.
Tried without the cpu, didn't beep.
Could this be the motherboard problem? or the CPU?
If so (whichever one), why would this happen??
For anyone who knows this, please help me out.
Thank you for reading..

any help?
anyone?
re-seat CPU,(ensure its mounted well, check it for damaged CPU pins, test it into another machine if its possible) apply new thermal paste(but not too much), clear CPU socket from any dust around. check all power cables. try barabone setup.(take board out of case too)
test with one of memory stick only in DIMM slot close to CPU socket, then Clear CMOS (ensure power cord are not connected to the PSU before proceed with Clear CMOS.)
re-test.
if no go test it with different and better PSU. good PSU suggestion can be found here and above:

if still no go, found a way to test CPU somewhere else to ensure its work. if CPU works must be failure board then.
