Okay I tried /wsr/ and that place moves slower than a fart.
I have an alienware aurora r1 that won't post. I get four short beeps and I have tried every stick of ram by itself and have had no luck.
Yesterday I opened it all and cleaned out years of dust. I opened the PSU as well and cleaned it all out. I put everything back in and now it won't post.
Any idea on what to do now? I feel like I fucked up the MOBO somehow or didn't connect everything correctly somehow.
pic related.

put some ram in there op
Nigga did u read the post
m8 I have tried 5 different sticks. In all of the black slots on the RAM it beeps 2 times at immediate start up. IDK if those slots are bad but they worked fine in the past. Any RAM in the white slots make it to 4 beeps later on in start up. I am starting to feel like I fucked the MOBO.
nice b8
look at your pic. what is missing?
video card won't make the difference m8.
this is what it does on start up.
Have you try clearing the BIOS settings?
no sir but I will try it now. I also swapped CPU's and re applied thermal and still nothing.
you need video, ram, and cpu in order to post. make sure that you got them all.
also 4 beeps means bad ram
>I opened the PSU as well
It was completley caked in dust and I don't think it is the PSU because everything comes on and I ran down a check list on the PSU. All lights and fans turn on.
I have another PSU in my computer I am using now. I might swap them and see if it works.
>It was completley caked in dust
Probably fucked it up somehow
Cleared BIOS and still 4 beeps. I even tried with everything connected. VIDEO, RAM, and CPU.
Going to try swapping PSU
well, what does 4 short beeps mean?
>x58
>no graphics card
Of course you don't see anything on screen
If you are going to take apart your computer you should at least be able to troubleshoot... check the damn beep codes.. if thats to hard invest in a bios card.
did you try a different ram slot? maybe its a tha slots that bad, not the dim
Here's the beep code table
this happened to me on an asus board, after the power supply is removed it needs to do a re learn. unplug it, take jbat out, press the power button a few times and leave it sit for 5-10 minutes to clear cmos. turn it on and leave it alone, it might loop a few times but it should post after.
one or more of the ram slots might be dead.
common problem on x58 iirc
