Hello,
First time build. Wanted to make sure I could get the mobo to post before I put it in the case so I breadboarded it. With 24pin & 4 pin both connected Psu fan & Gpu all power on but heatsink fan spins for 5 seconds & stops. Along with a blank no signal screen. Ive tried with just one stick of ram and same result. Thought it might be a bad aftermarket heatsink so i installed the one the cpu came with and same result. Read somewhere that the bios needed to be updated to support the chip, even though it says AM3+ FX ready on the box. So i bought a AMD Sempron 145 Processor (SDX145HBGMBOX) so i could get it to post and update the bios but I got the same result, heatsink spins for 5 seconds & no signal.
Im out of ideas. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!
