I recently bought these components to upgrade my comp:
MSI 760GM-E51 Motherboard
VGA MSI|N560GTX-M2D1GD5 GTX560 1G
PSU RAIDMAX | HYBRID2 RX-730SS 730W
MEM 4Gx2|GSKILL F3-10666CL7D-8GBRH
CPU AMD|PH II X4 970 3.5G AM3 RT
Ok, so I put the comp all together and when i plug in the power supply i hear a high-pitched whining noise and nothing else happens. No LED's light up on the MB. Nothing. So I start breaking it down and testing parts. The power supply works on other comps. The RAM sticks work. I have no way to test the CPU. When I plug just the MB (onboard video card) into the PS with one stick of RAM, I get nothing but high pitch noise. So I return the MB thinking it is DoA and get another one shipped out.
I just got the second one and I am having the EXACT same prob. I know it is nearly impossible that I got 2 DoA MB's with same symptoms. I had my roommate, who builds comps as well, check it out, and we are totally stumped.
We have checked the wires a 100 times to make sure they are in the right place according to schematics and have made certain that there was no static.
The PS fan and lights come on when hooked to another comp, but not when hooked to either of the new MB's.
