A link to a poorly made video but the sound is clear.video
First time building a system myself. I wanted to recycle some of my old parts. However, when it was all nice and neatly packed inside my case it wouldn't turn on. I took it out of the case, thinking there was a short, that was not the case, but i managed to get it working... for about 15 seconds before it shuts off.
I have re-seated the CPU twice, the second time to check whether or not there were any bent pins on the board. I don't believe I saw any.
Yes, both the 24 pin and the 8 pin are hooked up to the board.
I have tried everything on this guide
I have been posting on other forums and I have had no luck.
The MOBO doesn't have a built in speaker or testing LEDs at least non I could find. I had a small speaker at home which I hooked up and that's how I could get the sound.
The PSU that is new has a "testing" utility that is like the pin test that turns on, my old one doesn't turn on with that but when its hooked up to the MOBO does the same thing; turns for a few seconds then it dies.
I have tried all combinations of RAM one, two on different slots, no RAM.
The CPU/Heat sink fan kicks in, fancy light on the MOBO turns on but I can't get any video to come out.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. I am pretty desperate and trying to see what I should RMA at this point. There is no way I just shelled out $500 in parts not to have the system running.
