Just put together my first homebuilt system and its not getting any video.
Most of the parts came from here http://www.hardware-revolution.com/500-gaming-build/
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 630 Propus 2.8GHz Quad-Core AM3 95W
motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P: Socket AM3, AMD 770 Chipset, ATX
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 1.5V DDR3 1600 Dual Channel
video card: Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 DirectX 11
PSU: Corsair CX400W PSU
harddrive, dvd drive, case: don't know, using parts from old/broken computer
checklist http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-read-posting-boot-problems
1.yes
2.yes
3.yes
4.pretty sure the video card is in good, the little latch is locked it
5.yes
6.tried memory in both of the blue slots, didn't bother with the white ones
7.yes, the latches are fully up
8.yes
9.not sure, is there a way to check this with out taking the heatsink off
10.yes.
11.using stock heatsink and stock thermal past
12.yes
13.yes
14.no
15.tried to, may have touched it a few time without discharging
16.not sure missed how to install system speakers
17.yes
18.yes
19.don't know anything about BIOS revision
20.or CMOS
21.don't think it has integrated video, but not sure how to tell
My RAM isn't listed as compatible with my mobo here http://download.gigabyte.ru/memory/mb_memory_ga-ma770t-ud3p.pdf (one of them is only 2 numbers different from my RAMs model number) I had hoped that the website's guide that i used would have checked the compatibility.
And my dvd drive isn't opening, but I'm not worrying about that yet.
