I've been building a new PC from scratch and my new CPU finally arrived today. However when I put everything in the case, wired it all up and turned it on nothing much happened. The fans worked ,including the one on my graphics card, but my screen, connected to the motherboard by a VGA cable, said there was no signal. This left me wondering what was going wrong as I'm adamant that everything is wired up correctly except from a ATX 12V Power Connector that my PSU doesn't have. So is this the problem or is there a compatibility issue?
My system comprises of the following:
an AMD FX 4300 processor
1 8GB stick of DDR3 Kingston ram (Part Number: KVR1333D3N9/8G)
an ASRock 960aGM-VGS3 FX motherboard
a EVGA G Force GT610 graphics card
a Crosair CX 430 PSU
and a SATA hardrive from my old Acer aspire with everything still on (windows 7 among other things)
If anyone thinks they know whats wrong or where I might have gone wrong any healp would be appreciated.
