I've completed my first home-built computer and I can't get any POST or display.
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU
XFX 7870 HD Double-D GPU
Kingston HyperX Genesis RAM (2x4GB)
Cooler Master eXtreme 600W PSU
I've tested everything except the CPU (because I don't have anyone with an AM3+ socket to test it) and it all works. The motherboard is currently on RMA with ASUS because everyone is telling me that it's the problem. I was wondering if the CPU could be the problem but a buddy who knows far more than I do said that if the CPU is bad then none of the fans on any of the devices would run either.
Currently, I get power to the mobo and the fans on the case/CPU/GPU/PSU all run, but I get no POST beeps and nothing on the display. There's no on-board graphics, so this all comes out of the GPU which has been tested and works fine.
Your thoughts? Could the CPU be the problem or is it more likely the motherboard?
