Hey guys, I'm still not getting any display on either of my monitors, or HD TV. Before linking the forum post with all those steps to follow, please know I have gone through it already. I've also taken my computer apart out of the case, and tried running it with the MOBO out on top of the box, with and without the gpu connected.

I've also tried 3 different monitors using DVI, VGA and HDMI connectors. I tried connecting a speaker to the MOBO, and still get no beep when booting up.

Again, I've also tried 2 different graphics cards both in the 2 different slots on the MOBO, also.. both fans on the graphics cards still spin. (not simultaneously)

My Graphics Card: Zotac GTX 650 TI

My Processor: AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284

MOBO: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Power Supply: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 650W ATX12V/EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply

(Not sure if this matters, but when I boot the computer, the psu fan starts for about 3 seconds, and then stops completely.. but all the other fans remain spinning)

Here's 8 pictures of my set-up while it's not in the case (Note that the graphics card I have set up in these pictures is not the GTX 650 TI that I listed above, it is the other one I tried)

Thanks for all the help! I got it up and running.. sort of. I can get into the bios, but whenever I try and load Windows (I'm using an ssd that already had Window's installed) I get stuck at the logo,
half way through the animation it freezes, a blue screen flashes for half a second and then my computer reboots?
