The computer turns on but does not start the BIOS and there is a black screen (n

Hello
I have a problem as in the subject. Recently, I was doing the modernization of the computer, but for 2 months it worked rather normally. My hardware spec:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-945GCMX-s2
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 @ 1800MHz OC @ 2430MHz (9x270)
Power supply: OCZ StealthXStream2 500W (under warranty)
Cooler: Noctua NH-U9B SE2 (under warranty)
Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTS 450 DDR5 512MB (under warranty)
Ram: 2x1GB Kingston PC2-5300 DDR II 667MHz Dual Channel (360 MHz FSB RAM 3: 4)
System: Windows XP Home 32-bit Service Pack 3

The symptoms are as follows: I turn on the computer, both fans start from the cooler, and the graphics fan starts, the recorder also turns on, the disk will turn on but after a while it goes quiet (I suppose it would start but even the bios turns on) and that's it, black screen, no signal from the card. I took out the battery from the bios and went to buy a new one, I put it on, no change. One by one I started to disconnect components, disk, DVD, graphics, card reader - no reaction whatsoever. After removing both bones of the frames, I have a sound signal from the disc: uniform long beeps, which according to the instructions from the disc means a ram failure (Continuous long beeps: DRAM error). But I don't know if this message should not be with the bones inserted, right? I also put in a different graphic (functional), also unchanged. I would like to add that the cooling unit under such stress had a maximum of 59 degrees. However, I noticed one slightly swollen capacitor on the motherboard to the right of the PCI-E x16 connector. After the modernization of the computer, there were also sporadic artifacts, which resulted in the suspension of the entire computer. I counted 4 such situations in 2 months and only in windows. The games were ok. I had a lot of artifacts when I watched videos on YouTube, almost every video was a bit deformed. And now I have a dilemma what is damaged. I have nowhere to check these parts separately because I recently moved and I don't know anything about them

Pass you bios. Greetings mon

On the manufacturer's website:

PnP 1.0a, DMI 2.0, SM BIOS 2.3, ACPI 1.0b
4 Mbit BIOS chip
Licensed BIOS AWARD (TM)
version F4

Link to spec. tech. my motherboard: http://www.gigabyte.pl/products/page/mb/ga-945gcmx-s2_66/

Definitely RAM's fault. Clean the connectors. Run a single-die computer and swap banks until the computer stands up. I had the same and also AWARD bios.
Replace these capacitors!

I put the frames one time and the second time individually in the slots, time A and B, and also both alternately. Zero change. I do not know if it is the fault of the frame or the album. And if I buy the frame and it remains unchanged, it will turn out that the disc, then it would be appropriate to buy a disc for 4 GB (4 x 1 GB) -> what would you recommend inexpensive (socet 775)? You know, holidays are going and I am without a computer

Get someone to check you RAM. Then everything will be clear. I guess!!!

How did you put in RAM the bios made sounds?

You have an integrated graphics card, so take out that GTS 450, take the board out of the desk, plug in the power supply, CPU and RAM inserted, no disks etc and then try. Look at the CPU power section capacitors.

This afternoon I'm going to a friend to check the RAM so it should be clarified. As for the integrated one, I will try, but it should not be because I tried to connect it in the past and there was no signal, but I will also check it. I connected the disc with the prock and the frame and the bios does not report. With the bones on, nothing sucks for me, when I take out both, I have a "DRAM error" signal, but it's probably normal when I can't see any memory.

I just got back from a friend and it turned out that both bones are damaged (same effect as on my computer). In a few days I will have a new Framework, so I will write if replacing it with a new one has completely removed the problem.

14/12/2011 - today they sent me the frames, so I mounted them and ... nothing, then a black screen, there are 3 things in total: a motherboard, processor or power supply (I also have a 350W madecom, can it be connected and check if there is any improvement?). also, could these new memories have been damaged by the motherboard or the power supply? I'm a bit broken I took out the battery from the bios, in half an hour I will put in a different (old) one, maybe it will be better.

Better look for a bios smear jumper. Because the capacitors still hold some residual voltage.

Go to a friend and let them check you out with these new memories!
Measure the voltage of the power supply.
Sometimes the power supply can "let go of the smoke" the entire computer.
I know such a case (the Modecom FEEL III 350W power supply had too high voltages).

I do not have a jumper , maybe tomorrow or maybe Friday night

I did not mention because I have not yet found anyone in Częstochowa who would do it.

I have just checked the board with the processor and the frame on another (modecom 350W) power supply - the same

I called the service - I don't have the strength to do this crash anymore

The case is as follows:
1) I replaced 2 swollen capacitors with mobo

2) Ram (both bones) that was installed in the computer until the day of failure is damaged (2 x 1GB DDR2 667MHz PC2-5300 Kingston model: KVR667D2N5K2 / 2G)

3) After buying 2 RAM dice, 1GB DDR2 667MHz PC2-5300 Kingston model: KVR667D2N5 / 1G, it turned out that they are incompatible (?) With my motherboard. GIGABYTE GA945GCMX-S2. They work surprisingly on other computers.

4) The computer was started today (quickly, after returning from the service) without a 1GB DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz memory disk and it worked, had a CMOS reset. On my already four dice on not one, he refused to join.

5) The voltages on the power supply are exemplary, also the rest of the components have been checked and are in working order.

Is there anything else that can be done to make these purchased new memories move somehow, why do they not work?
Is it possible that after inserting pc2-6400 800MHz - test service technician - the BIOS has switched to this frequency and does not want to move on slower memory? Somehow that doesn't appeal to me
please help

please help

Unfortunately, nothing can be done. You were unlucky in purchasing this frame. Plate specification

And why did you insist on this particular memory? Can't you use a different type of Ram?
And why did you insist on constantly resetting the bios? It's useless. Bios will detect what and how by itself, constant reset is pointless.
When you buy shoes in a store and they are too small, do you also hammer them on your feet or put them on a shelf and look for a larger size?

Finally, I fixed my computer. The frames I bought online were faulty, and the motherboard had to be replaced. It turned out that the two capacitors replaced caused the south bridge to burn, and I will probably put the plate in parts
And as for the computer:
Later, I just had to reinstall windows, all updates and programs and like new, it is a pity that I did not change this disc immediately, but you know you learn from mistakes. Best regards and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a successful New Year's Eve!
