Jeez, i feel like a noob asking but heres how it goes.
I got my parts today, putting another build together so i can multi task (aka, encode video on one game on the other). Well, first i assembled everything in the case as usual, did all the normal stuff but it wouldn't post when i'd turn it on, so i took it out of the cae and did an open bench build and narrowed it down to either the video card or the power supply, even though they are all brand new. When i press the power button my fan on my GTS spins and whirrs to life but nothing else does, i turn it off, take out the GTS, the system posts, and beeps the beeps for no video out, so i know my system is fine. So, it is either the GTS or the PSU, but i'm sure my psu can run the GTS so that basically leaves it to be the GTS.
Here are the builds full specs:
Thermaltake BigTyphoon VX
Gigabyte 965P S3 rev 3.3
Intel E4300 (not clocked because unable to post)
Hiper Type M 580W PSU
Inno3D 8800GTS 320mb
Samsung spinpoint 500GB harddrive
Lite-On DVD burner
Kingston value ram (4x 1gb sticks, 667 @ 1.8v@5-5-5-5-15)
Thermaltake Soprano VX
anyone heard any problems with any of these? i've cleared the cmos and also done a minimal build and have narrowed it to either my psu can't supply enough power, or the 8800GTS is |=ucked... help would be greatly appreciated
