First time building a computer
Purchased all brand new
AMD X4 620
Biostar A770E3 - mobo
http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/content.php?S_ID=450
2x2gb of corsair ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145278
okia 600w psu
cant find product online, however there is a sticker in it displaying things i have no idea about (can take photo if requested)
visiontek radeon 5850
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129141
some generic case
1tb hd wd10eads
main problem - no post beeps, nothing appears on monitor (led light shows orange - which means nothing detected?)
so anyways, i hook everything up according to manuals and what not and the system turns on. right when it turns on, the gpu has the loud whine which continues for a while. its basically stuck at this phase, monitor doesnt even load or anything. all that happens is my fan lights turn on, i can hear hd and cd drive running, the video card is whining really loud. and im stuck right here, wondering about the possibilities of DOA items?
another question is, how much do the front panel plugs matter. i have plugged in the power on/off plugs and the audio front panel, but i may have plugged in the audio part a little wrong. so does that have any effect on the way the system boots
there is no onboard video for my mobo and no extra video card so i cant check if the system boots without the 5850, however ive tried booting without the 5850 plugged in, there are still no beeps when i turn it on.
i use a dvi monitor
