Hi folks,
Have just setup a new pc with the following spec in an Thermaltake SwordM case:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Intel X58
ASUS GTX275
CORSAIR 12GB (6x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000MHzl
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
Thermaltake Tougower 1500W Power Supply
Sony Optiarc DRU-860S 22x DVD±RW SATAl
On first startup, I hooked up just 1 mem stick (2gb) and left out the Sony optical drive. worked sweet for 1 hour. Next day after work i tried to power up the pc.
On powering up, all I see is the Clr CMOS switch and Power lights. when i hit the power swtich n the mobo it just starts up and then shuts down and trys to start up but fails, keeps repeating the same cyle over and over.
I've checked the following:
- MB is seated properly with all grounding posts in place
- Power cords secured into MB (2x4pin for the cpu and 20+4 pin for the MB)
i took out the mobo and unplgged everything from it next i only plugged the 2x4 pin for the cpu, 20x4pin for the mobo and the 1 stick of ram still same issue as above i have tried every stick of ram even had the gfx card unplugged. so angry i got all my part over the net from different state and cant take it so they can test all the part, i have to ship it. i'm thinking of just going to a computer store and paying 100$ for them to test everything. i dont know i'm so confused.
Any suggestions / help would be greatly appreciated.
