Well I sort of gave up for a while after I closed the above thread and I chose a solution once I was able to POST with graphics card but still not 100% failure free. Now I am at the point where I need to decide if its the Mobo or the graphics card. I am still receiving the CPU_LED when I try to cold start in the mornings when I get up (time of day doesn't matter I guess) and I have done all the following:
-checked Mobo PINs to make sure they are seated correctly
-re seated the graphics card... multiple times
-swapped PCIE cables to see if one was bad
-changed default graphics adapter to PCIE instead of AUTO in BIOS
-swapped my graphics card with my friends much older GTX 465, which works without any issues in my computer. However when my GTX 770 is installed in his, the computer won't even give a response when you hit the power button... slight chirp, then silence. Granted his is much older, but it does have a 750W PSU which is the same as mine and his MOBO supports PCIE16. As soon as you take the GTX 770 out the computer POST... coincidence?
So just to re cap, I CAN get the GTX 770 to POST in my computer SOMETIMES. If I power down after getting the CPU_LED and then switch off the PSU / take out the power cable and then plug it back in the computer almost always starts up on the next boot.
