I have bought a completely new build. When I first set it up I found it wouldn't start up at all. I tried a number of different 12v atx cables for the motherboard as my PSU seemed to have a varied number of them. I found that 2 2xconnector pins put together seemed to start the fans but nothing else. Following this I tried the original 4xconnector which did not work before. It now seemed to also start the fans but nothing else. This connector has a TUV logo on it. I haven't a clue if this is the right one but out of curiosity I tried clearing the CMOS by connecting the two jumpers and it managed to boot. But after reset it won't POST again. I previously had this problem and 'like for like' exchanged the motherboard but I now have the same problem.
The motherboard also seems to take a long time to boot when it does. At least 15 seconds I think.
I have also tried removing components one by one but this has not offered a resolution. I have tried a different PSU and again this did not resolve it.
Kingston HyperX 2x4GB 1600mhz RAM DDR3
AMD Llano 2.1Ghz Tri-Core 3Mb Cache
Gigabyte GA-A55M-DS2 DDR3 Motherboard
Powercool 650W PSU
Any ideas?
Cheers.
