    Hi folks

    i have recently purchased a biostar tpower I45 motherboard, new DDR2 2x2gb 800mhz 240pin memory sticks, pny nvidia 9800gtx+ graphics card, 750watt power unit(new also), 2 new sata hdd 1tb 1 250gb.

    i have installed it correctly and when i power it up the board will run for about 5secs then shutdown and reboot and also display an FF ERROR CODE on its inbuilt post/cpu digital temp display, everything works hdd spins, fans spin etc but i cannot get any display on the monitor and can't seem to get rid of this FF error code.

    please can anybody help

    thank you very much

    what does the motherboard manual say as they are usually non-buffered?
