Okay Ladies and Gentlemen,
Also, I am a new member to Tom's, but I always liked this site (especially since piracy isn't supported)
I promise this has nothing to do with any product keys, activation, etc. (like some of the posts I have read). I have built my first computer. The problem is sometimes it will boot, with red cpu light on then flickers off; but other times the red cpu light just stays on, no boot, no bios, no post. I have looked at the check list posted here (first website I always go to). Everything is in working order, mobo is grounded. I'm generally confused. I ordered 2 more cpus just in case.
Well here's a list of my specs, please let me know what you guys think:
IN WIN Griffin Mid Tower (CASE)
HX750W Corsair (PSU)
Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 (MOB0)
16GB DDR3 Corsair Vengance (MEM)
AMD FX 8350 8 Core Processor (CPU)-Stock Heat Sync Fan ( I also have an aftermarket heat sync; just in case)
GeForce GT620 (Graphics Card)
ASUS CD/DVD Burner (Optical)
500GB HDD
So let me know what you guys and ladies think. Thank you very much for your time.
P.S. I have tried removing cmos battery plenty of times.
