I got a few new parts for Christmas and finally got around to swapping them into my box yesterday. Specifically, I installed:
When I put it all together, I got no video and no POST. After fiddling with it a bit, I noticed that the stock AMD CPU fan was spinning up and then stopping after about 1 second (all other fans were working fine). I was able to get the fan to stay on by plugging it into the system fan header, but there was still no POST or video. I have tried reseating the memory and CPU, booting the motherboard with just the bare essentials out of the case, and everything in the try-this-first post. Any idea where my problem is or which part needs to be RMA'd?
