So I recently built a new PC with a combination of new and re-used parts as follows:
-Intel i7-3770
-MSI Z97S SLI PLUS mobo
-16 Gigs of Crucial DDR3-1333 Memory
-Corsair 750M Power Supply
-NZXT Phantom Case
-EVGA GTX 770 Super Clocked
This is the first computer I have ever built and upon finishing the build I started up the computer only to be met with a black screen on my monitor. All of the LEDs light up and all fans turn on but the BIOS does not appear. I went through many checklists which included re-seating and re-organizing RAM, testing without the graphics card, using different power supplies, etc. and still nothing. After nothing seemed to work I removed my CPU and heatsink and reinstalled them into my old motherboard. I then started up the system and was met by another black screen but this time my power was on for a couple of seconds, turned off, and then turned itself back on in an endless cycle. I don't know what seems to be the problem. It might be an issue with the CPU although it is a re-used part and was using it flawlessly a mere 5 days ago!
