Hi everyone!
Frequent reader first time poster here.
I've just put together my new rig and I don't even get a screen up. Everything lights up motherboard, graphics card etc
The equipment:
Motherboard: Asus Maximus II Formula
Gfx Card: Zotac 8800 gt Amp
Processor: q6600
Case: Antec 900
HDDs: 2 500gig Samsung Spinpoints
Optical: Samsung DVDR
PSU: Be quiet 650w modular PSU
The 3 drives are hooked up via SATA cables, power is going to everything as far as I can see. 24 pin in the motherboard etc. 1 thing that did stump me was that the mobo had 2 ATX power connectors, EATX12V an 8 pin and the EATXPWR which is the usual 24 pin.
There isn't a speaker for the beeps when it posts which is a pain, but there is an LCD poster attached to the mobo which is meant to tell you of any issues that come up. But it always says 'welcome' when I turn it on!
The monitor remains black with no signal as far as I can see, the 8800gt has been taken out of my old pc, as I was using it to give it a bit of a boost before I built a new one, so I know it works.
Any directions to point me in?
Thanks in advance!!
