| Hello, I assembled the following configuration processor Athlon X4 950,MB Ascrock A320m DVS 4.0, RAM Silicon POwer 3200MHZ 8GB.VC RADEON X550. When I turn on the computer, the CPU fan spins, but the system does not boot. There is a P4.10 label on the bios chip. Is this the bios version - I can't find any information about it on the internet? Does it support "Bristol ridge" processors? Or is the memory too fast for the CPU? |

The label on the BIOS version is the version the board shipped with. If the board is new and was not updated by the retailer then that should be the version you have. 4.10 supports the Athlon x4 950 so that shouldn't be an issue. Try testing with a single stick of RAM, first in one slot then the other and see if that gets you a POST screen. Typically, once you get the system to POST once it will POST consistently. Double check your power cables (CPU power and 24pin main power). Good luck -------------

| I disassembled and reassembled everything. It was a bad contact somewhere. Now it works. |
