Well guys, I just got my badass RAM and I cannot get into bios or Windows at all. Everything powers up except my Moniter... I cleared C mos and have tried reseating a couple of times. What to do?

when boot... try to hold down your insert key while tabbing your Del key... it might able to get your boot into bios...

I figured it out. Clearing my C mos was a bad idea. I tossed in my pc2100 and got it to boot up without a prob. Then I changed my fsb to 133, powered down, tossed in my 3200 and im up and running. Now... as far as timings and such, what do you recommend for XMS 3200 low latency?

But I ran mine corsair pc3500 CAS 2.0-5-2-2 @ 2.9v

I try that on my setup and all I got was C1 and 02 on the post codes.
I could not get it to post at all. I had to put my old PC2700 back in to get it to work.

I did test it out on a Abit KR7A and no post with that mem on that board too. So I'lll have to RMA it back to Newegg.

This Kingmax PC2700 is killing my overclock.
