mainboard hanging

[dark shader]

kk i tried to power up my new P35D3 Platinum but it hangs everytime. I get no screen. My system configuration is: Core2Quad Q9400, Corsair XMS3 1333 4GB kit, 9800GX2 I tried another grafics card and i still get no screen. There hasnt been made any BIOS updates so, is it possible that I have to update BIOS before it can work with mah quad? or is it cause of the RAMS?

Was the computer working OK and then quit booting? Did you make ANY type of change prior to this?

this is the first time that i use it.....and when i put a pentium e2200 on it...it works fine.........even after bios flash to version 1.6, its having issues with mah quadcore, which by the way works fine on other mainboards........

after reflashing the bios, just for sh*ts and grins try removing the battery and reseating it to flush out any settings, and try and see if it is detected right.

According to MSI's site the 9400 is supported with that Bios update, so it should be working: MSI USA – Mainboard - P35D3 Platinum
