Hi, I've just completed a build and am having trouble with the motherboard (I assume).
When I first started it up it seemed to power up fine but I was getting no video out. The fans were all spinning and the liquid CPU cooler started churning.
I powered down and checked all the connections with the graphics card... everything looked fine. When I plugged it back in and hit the power button, it seems to power up for about half a second then powers itself back down. Lights come on, fans jitter, then it just sputters out. The motherboard has a "clear cmos" button/light that turns on as soon as I tried powering it up and remains on when it powers back down. I can't find anything in the manual about what this light means so I figured it just wanted me to clear the CMOS. I unplugged it, hit the clear cmos button, hit the power button, removed the battery on the board, let it sit a minute or two, then put the battery back in, plugged it back in, and powered it back on... with the same result. I simply can't get the thing to turn on.
Does someone know what the problem might be? Again, the motherboard is the MSI x99a sli plus, the cpu is intel 8620k, graphics card is evga gtx 980 ti. Not a cheap build so I hope there isn't a bad part.
Let me know if more information is required. Thanks!
