I am having issues getting my new home built system to post. Right now I have the mobo and psu laying on the desk with an old case speaker hooked up. I have also installed the cpu, heat sink (artic silver 5), RAM, and video card.
When I power it up I hear no audible warnings. The CPU fan turns on as does the fan on the GPU but I get no display. I have tried each stick of RAM separately in each slot. I have removed the GPU. Still no post.
Can anyone see anything wrong with this set up that might keep it from posting? Any advice welcome.
