Hey,

I've just assembled

Intel i5 2500k cpu
kingston hyperX 1600ddr3 (4X4)
Gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3 mobo
OCD 60 gb ssd
radeon xfx 6970 x2
coolermaster hyper evo cpu cooler
corsair 750 tx psu
dvd drive
rosewill thor 2 case

I pressed the power button on the case, and the case momentarily lights up, along with the fans, and the motherboard dd1,dd2,dd3,dd4 lights in red, orange, yellow, lighter yellow. The cpu fan also turns as well. There is not output on the display from what I can tell (the monitor is connected to the mobo DVI)

I've checked for obvious shorts, and am thinking about trying to remove the video cards to see if it makes a difference but since I have no out put on the screen I doubt it.


Any clues or ideas on where to continue on from here?

~Jon

All those are perfect parts so it must be your fault! ;)

But seriously. Don't know if you saw this section of the forums, but it may help.

Hahaha, thanks! I'm thinking lack of sleep is at fault. My attempt to be creative with the case wiring was an utter failure.
