Just completed a new build, my first one in a while. With these specs.
I have both the 6 pin and the 8 pin connected from the same coiled set of wires from the power supply, there six and two pin connectors that push together to make 8 pin connections. Do they need to be plugged in from two different coiled sets? Because the only other free set I have from the power supply just has one connector that are two 4 pin that push together to make an 8 pin connection, but that one doesn't want to fit into the 8 pin slot on the GPU for some reason
UPDATE I disconnected and removed the graphics card and plugged the HDMI in and attempted to boot the machine with the motherboard on-board video, but I still got no video output. I tested both the front and back USB ports with an XBOX 360 wired controller with LED back lighting, the LED lights would come on for a second before turning off again.
UPDATE The memory sticks are in the first and third slots going from left to right as prescribed by the manual. I tried removing the graphics card from the second pci express port to the first pci express port and still got no video output. NewEgg troubleshooting suggested removing the CMOS battery from the motherboard for thirty second to allow it to reset but I cant find a way to get the thing out. If the CPU was the problem would the motherboard be able to display any type of error message, am I definitely looking at a motherboard problem here?
