Hi,
I know you guys probably get a lot of these post about computers being powered on but not displaying, but i haven't seen anything similar on the forum.
It's my first build and im a newbie at this, i read all the manuals included with the parts and i assembled the whole thing.
When I powered my computer for the first time it powered off after a few seconds and then turned back on by itself. After, I could momentarily see the GIGABYTE logo and the computer was displaying ''Select drive to boot from'' which I think is normal.
My mobo's manual described that I had to press delete during post to access the bios. So I reset the computer and press delete at startup. This time it didn't power off but wasn't displaying anything. When i reset again I can only see a mouse cursor for a couple seconds and then it disappears. I tried it 3 times only to get the same results. The screen is still on since i can see the back light.
I then thought that it probably was the UEFI switch on my sapphire graphic card since I didn't press it and my mobo support UEFI. I pressed it but it didn't change anything. Since I have two bars of RAM I left only 1 bar on the first slot (tried them both) but it didn't change anything again.
I cleared CMOS values and reconnected the connectors, this time the computer reset itself but i still get the same problem.
All my fans are spinning and the LED on my graphics card is on. Please help! I only have a couple of days before i can get a refund from newegg if anything is faulty.
Here's my build:
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Vishera
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC
HDD: Planning to buy one later
GPU: Sapphire radeon R9 280x Vapor-x oc boost tri (the triple fan one)
Case: Fractal Design R4 Black Pearl
Power Supply: CORSAIR HX Series HX1050 Gold (I know 1050W is overkill but I planned on
expanding later)
Optical Drive: SAMSUNG Black DVD ROM SH-118BB
