Hi all,
This is my first post here but I am starting to bang my head against a wall! I have tried the "If you're PC will not boot" thread already, but to no avail so far.
The system:
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Motherboard
Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz CPU
Coolermaster Elite 330 Case With Coolermaster eXtreme Power 460W PSU http://www.ebuyer.com/product/135101
Scythe Mugen 2 Socket 1366 Cooler
Crucial 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 Ballistix Memory http://www.ebuyer.com/product/166998
Graphics card
Foxconn Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS 640MB; PCI-E – for final build, from eBay
Radeon X300 – whilst building and testing as this has been verified working in another system
I’m not having any joy starting the system up. I have taken the motherboard out of the case, and with the CPU and Radeon graphics card installed (as well as the heat sink and fan) and I’ve tried booting up.
The CPU fan spins once, all 4 phase lights on the motherboard stay lit up and there is no output to the graphics card. I’ve tested the CPU in another system and it did work (an old P4 system), however this only used ONE of the TWO 12v CPU adapters. My new system will need both of these CPU adapters.
Do you think that the PSU could be my problem or am I looking at something more sinister?
Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer, or any judgements on my spec above!
Lloyd
