I recently embarked on building a new computer, everything was going well until i started it up for the first time. the first time i started it up power turned on but it doesn't post, there is no video output and my keyboard and mouse don't get power (usb).
System components:
sabertooth 990fx
amd fx-8120
16gb (4x4gb) patriot memory
2x2gb msi twin frozr II 6950 video cards
2x60gb corsair force3 ssd's
and a 1tb standard hard drive
I have everything i could think of to fix the issue. I tried using the hdmi video output as well as the dvi output, i removed one video card and then the other, trying them in multiple pci slots. I tried reseating the cpu and heat sink. I also tried to boot with just one stick of memory, as well as different dimms. nothing i have done made any difference. The only thing i can think of is maybe i need to update the bios before using the bulldozer cpu which unfortunately means buying a second processor for no other reason then that. if anyone has any other ideas im getting fairly desperate
