Hi:
I hope you guys can help me figure this out since I have only limited time before my 30 days for refund expires and if so I want to be able to do refund for newegg.
I am building a Phenom II X2 550 system and I choose a gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P. Now went ahead and installed and attached CPU, GPU ( full specs at the bottom ) and PSU as well. I hooked up the case fans to the motherboard, connected everything and attempted to boot.
What I realize is that a) I must have plugged in the internal speaker wrong cause I got no audible prompts and b) I get no video.
CPU and case fans seem to be working fine, optical drive tray opens and closes normally, the GPU fan ( evga 260gtx core 216 ) is not moving. I quickly turned it off and there was no heat or anything on the gpu.
I tried switching my ram to different slots ( I am running two crucial 2gb ddr3 dims, full specs at the bottom ) and no luck. I even try only booting with one dimm testing both but the exact same results.
I then try to use my older video card, a BFG 7600gt and I got the exact same results: all fans turn on, optical opens, no video no sound. This card is most definitely working since I am using it on my backup rig right now and it works fine.
Since I never even got a single boot I don't know if I should still attempt to reset CMOS/Remove the battery, also I might need to use slots 1 and 2 for the DDR ( I was using 3 and 4 and then 2 and 4 and then all of them with a single ram dimm ). But so far its looking like the mobo is D.O.A. and I might need to RMA it, unless I am doing something completely wrong.
Any advise?
