Hi, I made a similar thread to this about a week ago, but got no replies. I've gone through the threads mentioned in the stickies above but I still can't seem to get past this problem.
Anyways, this is my first ever self-build, and I put it together about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Sometimes, I can get into it perfectly fine, and play games for hours on max settings without so much as a hiccup. Other days, I can't even get it to boot. When I hit the power button, the case, video card, CPU, and PSU fans spin up, and I can open up the DVD drive, but I get no video feed.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix the problem without taking the whole thing apart again, which is the next thing I'm planning on doing if I can't figure it out sooner. I've checked my CPU, video card hard drive, and 2 different sets of RAM modules(not at the same time of course).
On reading through the threads mentioned in the stickies in this section, I did notice there's one motherboard standoff point that I didn't screw in, but that was because there isn't a hole in the case for that position, despite the case (Antec 300) saying it was suited for ATX standard motherboards. Could that be the reason I'm getting this inconsistency?
Components:
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black edition, 3.2 gHz, using stock heatsink
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 460
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200rpm
PSU: OCZ Modx-stream pro 700w
RAM: Initially used G-skill RipJaws 4gb(2x2) DDR3(2000 mHz), switched to Corsair Vengence 8gb(2x4) DDR3(1600)
Windows 7 Home premium, 64 bit
Case: Antec Three Hundred
I hope I was detailed enough for anyone reading this.
Any help will be very appreciated, thanks in advance.
