Hardware has definitely passed me by.
So I'm struggling to get my new build to boot. I have a Gigabyte EP45-UDR
board. Questions so far:
I can't find anything in the 2 page English section of the of Gigabyte manual
that tells me how to arrange my 2 sticks of Ram. I have 4 slots available.
1 and 3 are matching color, 2 and 4 are a matching color. No post with RAM
in 1 and 3. Should it be 1 and 2 or 1 and 3?
Power supply has an atx connector that fills most of the motherboards power
connector, except for 4 pins. There's a secondary 4 pin connector in the
same cable group that will fit there. Do I plug in the second, 4-pin cable?
I'm getting power to the case fans.
The LED's on the motherboard are lighting up.
The CPU fan wiggles for a split second, but never turns.
I never get PS/2 keyboard lights.
Ideas?
