Building a new system for my dad and I have ran into a snag.
When I first put the computer together I started it up and nothing happened. Fans spin, HDD spins but the monitor doesn't show anything and just goes into power saving mode. Since the BIOS didn't come up I assumed it was a bad mobo, so I RMA'd the board and received it back saying they tested it with multiple set ups and it was working. Put it back together and still nothing happens. I tried an old system in the new case and it worked so the power supply is not the problem. I have tried the system using a VGA monitor along with HDMI to a TV, both using onboard video.
RAM and CPU are not compatible with any other system that I have so I can't test either one of those separately. I'm at a complete loss as to what is going on with the system.
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-F2A68HM-DS2H FM2+ AMD A68H
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Stealth 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000)
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K Kaveri Quad-Core 3.7 GHz Socket FM2+
PSU: Rosewill ARC-M550, ARC Series 550W
