I Hope this is the right forum to be posting in. I'm new here, hopefully not breaking any rules.
I received some new parts yesterday and am now stuck and unsure what it is I have left for options to try. I have an Gigabyte ga f2a88xm-ds2 rev 3.0 motherboard and an Athlon X4 860K. The CPU is supported by the board with the firmware F7 referenced here http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4726
Currently I dont get any video. I've tried the onboard vga and dvi as well as a older passive pcie card and another powered on, a firepro if i remember correctly. I've swapped the PSUs and tried different ram I know to be working in anothe system. I don't have another CPU of the spcket type to test with and the mainboard doesn't have any speaker or pins for one so beep codes are out of the question. No matter how long I wait it's always a 7 second shutdown on the tower. The PSU Chasis and CPU fans all spin when powered on. I've tried with the HDD plugged in and it spins to life as well.
I don't know if perhaps the board is running an older firmware and have no way to check, other than defect I have run out of ideas and hope maybe someone has purchased and used this board and could shed a little light on this strange situation.
Thanks for reading.
