So I just built a new computer and I'm having either display problems or power problems I'm not quite sure. Specs are: MSI H55M-E33 motherboard, core i7 860, corsair cs550m, noctua nh-l9i, radeon 5770, and I have a few different types of ram. A couple 2gb pc3-10600 and a couple 2gb pc3-8500.
So the problem I'm having is very very odd and unheard of for me: When I first powered it on there was no graphics output. I switched to an old radeon 3400 series and made sure every cord was plugged in and everything was tight and tried again. It took about 20 tries of me turning it on and turning it off by holding the power button down which is not good but I had to because just pressing it did nothing for some reason... but finally it just worked. I had my ram in the second and fourth slot and I was using the pc3-8500 ram. So I went into bios checked cpu temps checked a bunch of stuff and everything looked great, I saved and exited and restarted the computer, no display again. I tried about 20 more times and the weird thing is whenever I turned it off a lot of different things happened, sometimes I heard a click in the psu, sometimes I didn't, sometimes I would turn it on and it would turn right back off and right back on a few times, it was just doing a lot fo weird things. I finally turned it off, made sure all connections were tight again, turned it back on, and I had display. So I installed windows and everything was looking good and when I restarted, nothing. No display. Seems like every time I restart the computer it stops working. I haven't had a chance to try a legit shutdown yet I've only tried restarts but that was going to be my next step, but I haven't been able to get it working at all now I've tried everything probably 50 times and nothing worked at all.
What could this possibly even be? I searched forums high and low and this seems unheard of, so I could really use some help.
Thanks
