Hi,
Just completed my new build, here is my configuration:
Intel Core i7 3970X Processor
Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 32GB LP DDR-1600 Memory Kit
Antec HCP 850W Power Supply
Intel BXTS13X Liquid Cooling Solution
Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD
Gigabyte AMD Radeon 7950 Graphics card
After connecting all components and turning on the computer, nothing happens. All fans spin, including the graphics card, but my monitor receives no signal.
It doesn't boot into the bios or POST.
This is my first time building a PC, and I had my dad helping me out.
I can't exactly pinpoint the problem. Tried connecting a speaker to the motherboard, but hear no sounds/beeps.
Not sure if my motherboard requires a BIOS update to be compatible with the graphics card or not. Read up about someone with the same board as mine, had a 7970 and had to update the BIOS for it to work.
I'm not even sure if the computer powers on, or is running, like the CPU/Motherboard.
Don't know whether the Water Cooler is installed correctly, because if the CPU isn't receiving adequate cooling it won't turn on.
Please advise
Thanks
