I appologise profusely!!!!! I've just read the stickied thread which lead me here...It always helps if you feed the CPU some power
Let this be a lesson to all and not have you waste 5 hours of your night...READ STICKY THREADS! Sorry guys..
Today I built a HTPC which included a Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H motherboard...which as I'm sure you're aware, has onboard graphics.
I finished building it and connected it to the HDMI port of my TV (which I know is working as I have been using my PS3 on the same port). I turned on the brand spanking new machine...lights came on..fans came on..but no picture.
I grabbed a monitor and connected it via a DVI cable (while, of course, disconnecting the HDMI)...still nothing. I even tried the old school monitor cable (cant remember the name...VGA?). None of the video outputs will work.
Unfortunately the Antec Fusion 350 doesn't come with a speaker, so I can't listen for the beeps to diagnose what is happening. I've (for the hell of it) taken out the CMOS battery and jumpered the CMOS clearing pins, which had no effect.
I have taken the motherboard out of the case and connected only the power, power switch and the HDMI cable to the board. There was still no picture/signal at all when I turned the machine on. Sure I didn't have a HDD connected, but I would have thought I would still get some sort of signal.
No matter how much I google, I cant seem to find anything that relates to this problem.
I know it's very broad....but would anyone have any ideas before I take the board back to the shop tomorrow??
edit: Just incase it matters, I'm using an AMD Athlon II X2 CPU and 1 x 2GB stick of Kingston 1333MHz DDR3 RAM.
