So, after buying a new motherboard and new processor and having known working hard drives, my rig still won't boot to BIOS. The PSU is probably the problem - but I just need confirmation.
I'm getting no system beeps - just a black monitor screen
I have used a known-working processor with the new motherboard and initial PSU and still can't BIOS. I doubt that the MoBo is the problem but I can't confirm the working processor on my old MoBo because the PSU won't power it - I think that the old MoBo is broken, as with the PSU (as there was a reboot loop (solved) but now the rig stays alive).
A new 64bit W7 has just been installed on my hard drive - fully functioning.
It isn't the GPU as the MoBo graphics also give the black screen (of disappointment, as I've come to know it).
Won't boot with RAM or without.
All fans work fine - HDD LED on the case is working - CPU heat sink works - GPU heat sink spins up, too.
I believe that the HDDs are plugged into the correct SATA ports on the board.
This thread may seem like the most simple solution ever - I'm just not game for wasting another £70 on a PSU that won't start my rig.
Specs:
i5 2500k (clocked at 3.3 GHz)
Asus P8 Z77-V LX
Corsair Vengeance RAM (2x4 Gb)
Radeon GPU 7000 series.
320 Gb Seagate HDD (for OS and music, only)
1 Tb SeagateHDD
And the glue that holds all this terror together - Corsair CX600 W (builder series)
Thanks.
