Okay so I finally completed my first ever computer build and everything was running great until I opened the GPU tweak program and everything totally froze and I had to turn off from mains. I thought no more about it until I tried to boot up and was getting no display whatsoever and could not enter BIOS.
So I opened up the case and found that the CPU light was constantly red.. Me in all my noobiness thought it was naturally the CPU and got a replacement but it made no difference. I did a google search and think I have tried most options including: updating bios from USB, removing CMOS battery to reset, reseating all components and tried a totally different GPU.
The only difference BIOS made was when I set it to the very first release. It turned CPU light off and caused DRAM LED to flash constantly. (also if i press it when it isn't lit up it will flash constantly anyways). I have now changed bios back to the settings which were preloaded to mobo and am back to square one. I am beginning to think there is some issue with the mobo but don't understand why it would work one minute then be faulty the next..
My components are: 990fx mobo with amd 8320 processor.
2gb GTX 660 GPU.
2x 4gb Kingston ram
850w PSU.
If im missing vital info please let me know and don't hesitate to ask patronising questions because I am totally new to this and only know very basic terms. So please spell things out for me. THANKS!
