Hi guys, just built my first computer and am very new to this, here is the build:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/fyPrFT
So when i turn on the system which is connected to the monitor, the monitor boots and then says no signal before going black. All fans apart from the graphics card's fans continue to run.
I also noticed that only the standby power LED and the DRAM LED are turned on constantly. The CPU LED turns on during booting and then switches off immediately. The VGA LED and BOOT DEVICE LED dont turn on.
Note the graphics card also boots but fans turn off immediately after booting (im told they turn off when the graphics card is below a certain temperature so no problem there i guess).
Any idea of what I can do to solve the problem?
I've tried removing and refitting the RAM as many have suggested on the various videos ive watched but that didnt help (plus the DRAM LED is on so i think thats fine? I placed the two RAM sticks on every 2nd slot as instructed by the manual).
Another question I had was that (sorry very bad description I know) my friend told me the 'CPU 1' cable going from the PSU to the top left of my motherboard (to the left of where the CPU is placed) is normally to power the fan for the CPU? So i dont know if I need this as im using a water cooler but it is plugged in at the moment. The fan connected to the radiator is plugged into a CPU FAN slot, and the object placed ontop of the CPU is plugged into a CPU OPT slot.
