My PC couldn't boot up. the fan spins one burst and the whole thing repeats, wont even reach POST. I narrowed down (I think) to the problem being either my MB or my CPU, but I'd like to try to replace my MB first. My PSU is working so it wasn't a power problem
Here's my current set-up:
CPU: Phenom II 965 BE
MB: MSI DKA790GX Platinum http://www.msi.com/product/mb/DKA790GX-Platinum.html#/?div=Basic (Being replaced)
GPU: Gainward GTX 580
RAM: Kingston DDR2 833Mhz 4Gb (Being Replaced)
HDD: WD 500GB Caviar Black
PSU: FSP 650W PSU
OS: Windows Vista Home Edn 32Bit.
So I decided to get these 2 to replace my current one:
M5A99X EVO Motherboards - M5A99X EVO ~ $220
Kingston DDR3 10600/1333 4GB Value Ram ~ $51
Will they be compatible together? Specifically compatibility between my current OS & CPU with the new RAM and MB. I'm kind of in a budget (around less than $300) and there aren't much (seemingly good) MBs that my current CPU is supported to choose from the pricelists.
Need some help
