got the new machine built. was waiting for RAM, but got fed up so purchased some, but don't think the machine likes it, it will power on but nothing on screen, no beeps to indicate bad or missing ram.
Looking in the motherboard manual, it mentions (64x72) about the DDR slots, when I look at the packaging for the RAM it says (32x64) Could this be the problem? could the RAM be too slow for the motherboard (some gigabyte something or other!)
I know I'm not being exactly specific about the specs, but any advice appreciated.

Are you sure your graphics card is seated properly? AGP cards are notorious for being picky.
Are you getting any beeps at all?
I believe some VIA chipset-based motherboards don't like the memory chips you have. Which mobo is it?
PCs are great aren't they?

it's a 256mb chip, samsung (got it from PC world)
Think it might be that the board don't support it. Suffice to say I am getting RAM from somewhere else, but i could not wait, sods law aint it, got RtCW and wanted to get some practice in!
