I've just done an out of case test with my newbuild (part list ) I first tested it with just the cpu, ram and gpu connected to the power. Then I pressed the start button on the mobo and all the fans started, the q-leds on the board whent from cpu to ram to vga like it should. But the boot device led didn't light up. the cpu fan then stopped spinning and immediately turned back on, with the led sequence starting again. I feared that the cpu was in danger so I turned the system off. I then connected power and a sata cable to the disk drive and tried again, this time it boots, the fans stay on and I can get into the bios. However, the Q-code is stuck on A2 which means "IDE detect" . I'm just wondering if I can proceed with the build or I need to fix something first?.
Thanks for the help!
