Hey there fellow pc enthusiasts,
My brother worked his ass off to earn money for a gaming rig past few weeks and ended up giving me 450 euro to spend as well as i could.
I could get the mobo for free from a family member so i decided to try the 775 platform. So far i'm balding faster than ever from the experience, and i'm not out of the woods yet. (i'm only 22, please help, i like my hair!)
I have some experience reviving old systems and usually things go rather smooth, but this build worked against me from the beginning on every step of the way.
Right now i have the whole thing assembled (thank the lords) and when i press the power button all the appropriate leds and fans start spinning, i got no error sounds, no indication that something is wrong except for the fact that it doesn't output a signal to the monitor.
This is the exact setup:
700w power supply (overkill but really good deal)
msi x48c platinum mobo
q9550 intel chip + arctic freezer 7 rev 2
gtx 780 (asus)
250gb ssd and 500gb hdd
4x2GB ddr3 (new)
I have hooked it up using hdmi and dvi on 2 different monitors but no luck. the mobo has no cmos battery in it, i was under the impression that you don't need it to get it to post. The mobo has no display out.
I will be putting the gtx 780 into my main machine when i find the time to do so this weekend, to see if it actually works, however the leds are burning and the fans are spinning, so i kind of figure that it has to work.
One more thing that struck me as odd. In the past whenever i turn a system off that is still in its bios or startup screen it would turn off immediately as soon as i pressed the power button. This system however only turns off when i hold the power button. This leads me to believe the mobo, cpu and RAM are fine.
I'm at a loss as to what might be causing this. (Fingers crossed its not the 780) If any of you have any idea's whatsoever, i'm all ears.
