CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
MB: Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard
VIDEO CARD: PowerColor AX7870 2GBD5-2DHV4E/OC Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
PSU: Raidmax 500w
and stock cpu cooler till this weekend
So i just got done building the pc and looked good thus far...i then turned it on after hooking up an hdmi cord to my monitor from my video card and no picture...no worries as of yet (thinking i just need gpu drivers) so i used the onboard for now to get things rolling with OS install
but to my suprise i had a frozen screen on the bios load screen for del to setup f8 for boot etc etc (you know what screen im refering to) and my wired usb keyboard wasnt functioning or lights on, so i thought ok i need to reset my cmos battery for a minute or two, i popped the cmos back in and same result, so i took 1 of the sticks of ram out and made it into the bios setup to update the bios seeing as this mobo might need it with the fx series cpus yet again during the update it freezes up
after a few more attempts to get past the bios load screen with no success i repeted the steps over and over again and i was able to get my windows cd to start loading and maybe update the bios later (i was grasping at straws here) yet not to my suprise it hangs and freezes up during the instalation again and have to try and repeat the steps over and over again... i now cannot get past the post bios screen and the distorted image it gives me ( kinda a blurry image of the screen with red and green lines mixed in)
im pretty sure my components are compatible but maybe there not
and im left with no answers on whats wrong... please help
