Boot Problems With New Build

When you say you swapped out the HDD, what exactly did you do?

 

Unplugged my hdd and plugged in my friends one

 

Hi again

Unscrew the m/board and remove the stand-offs.
Sit the motherboard on a piece of card newspaper to insulate it from the case.

Give it a try now.

 

turns out it was the motherboard i ended up getting another one a msi 58x pro but now it wont take all my ram i put one ram stick in and it works but if i put two is it only shows up with 2 gb they are 2 gb sticks if i put all 6 in it wont even boot up ...does the headache ever end

 

Hi Dean. Presume you have installed the chipset Drivers.
You may have a dud ram stick.
Try booting with each stick one at a time.

 

Yea I did all that when I was trying to work out the problem a few days ago.. I can load 8 gig but if I put the last two sticks in it won't boot up at all I've updated the bios aswell

 

I think you need to download the user manual and find the correct method to populate the Ram slots on this motherboard.
Quite often when you populate all slots and haven't the fastest speed ram to mobo will accept,then the computer won't boot.
What is the speed of the ram you are using and what is the fastest the mobo will accept.
Use 3 slots, and not 4 and see if it boots correctly.

EDIT.I have 3x4 GIG sticks DDR3 in 3 slots with no issues.

 

The specs for the RAM for that board are DDR3 800 / 1066
What do you have ?
