Just got all the parts to my pc in the mail today:
Asus x79 sabertooth
Thermaltake 850w toughpower grand
16gb gskill 2400 (11,11,11 version)
Intel 3930
Using a single 480 gtx for install
I got everything together and installed Windows with no issues whatsoever. booted it up several times before installing Windows 7 to play with the BIOS (no overclocking, just adjusting boot order). Next thing I know, I rebooted and the display didn't respond. Repeated about 20 times before swapping video cards to my other 480 gtx.
I noticed the red vga_led light was on under the video card. Ended up trying an older 9800 gtx with no luck either.
The vga light alert is preventing the mobo from posting. Reset cmos, flashed updated BIOS, still no luck. It is getting through the CPU and memory tests of the post.
Any ideas? I already got a rma # from newegg but I would like some input before I mail it back.
