Ok so im in a bit of an issue. I decided for this christmas i asked for the $500 september 2011 build. Ive got it all setup according to the manual and everything. i redid it 3 times and still to no avail it does not want to post. Everything powers up the graphics card / processor fan but the power supply fan doesnt spin and i dont know if the CPU is even turning on? everything is in nice and fitted. ive tried with / without 1 stick of the ram. Im using every part that the $500 september 2011 build is using except i have my own CD-Rom / Graphics / Hardrive so i could afford the pc.?
Specs
Case - NZXT Gamma Classic Series GAMA-001BK
CPU - AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition
GPU - MSI N430GT 1GB - Works im positive cause im using it in my dell right now awaiting to figure out whats wrong with the mobo :L
RAM - 4GB Ballistics Dual Channel 1600 Mhz
Mobo - ASRock M3A770DE
Harddrive - Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM
CD-Rom - Old Toshiba from my Dell in 2006
If u need any more specs or info its on the system builder marathon 2011 september $500 one.
Also this case didnt come with a Speaker. Should i buy 1 to see if the speaker will tell me. and if yes where could i buy 1 possibly for under $20
This was my first time building a new pc and hint i have worked on it all day until my fingers blistered. i have tried resocketing the processor 3 times. Putting the graphics card in different slots. Using 1 stick of ram at a time. tried both configurations in manual. All Pin connectors and headers are in the right place. I have cleared CMOS and tried turning off EUP. Have redone the thermal paste on cpu twice. Like i said the Whole computer starts up like all fans. but i did notice the PSU fan did not start i dont know if it wasnt supposed to or it auto activates when it heats up. I left the pc on for 30 minutes and notice the CPU Heatsink wasnt warm. I have ran through the Steps in other posts here about the Will not Post/Boot the troubleshooting guide. like i said i put atleast 12 hours into this computer. Thinking of buying a new Mobo but i just want some feedback.
Thanks
