New mobo, 2nd hand ram and cpu. I'll be keeping all other components from my current build, which currently works fine.
Breadboarding the new mobo, cpu and hsf, I get no beeps and no signal out. As far as I can tell there is no mobo speaker and case doesn't have one either, so I've bought one to try and diagnose the issue, which should be here in a few days/
All being well beeps will highlight the problem, **HOWEVER** if they don't what is my next step? Is it PSU? I have a no name brand psu at the minute, and whilst it powers an older mobo, cpu and gpu, could it be unable to do a newer mobo? It's 600w, so it should have the raw power, but could it be 'dirty' power causing problems?
I can't borrow a a psu, so I'll have to invest in a new one. I plan to upgrade GPU to a 650 Ti Boost, so I'm thinking of this EVGA 500w if that's the solution http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/?tag=pcp0f-21
Thoughts?
