Right, I bought an E6300, An Abit AG8-Pro, 2x 512Mb Corsair Value Select DDR2, A Sapphire X300, and a 500w Generic PSU for a friend. (Actually he bought it all, and got it delivered to me to put together, but anyway..)
Put it all together, wearing an Earth strap, cleared the CMOS, (don't know why, always do before first boot!) booted... Fans a go-go, SATA HDD whirring away like it should, all leds lit on Mobo and front of case etc, but nothing on screen.
Hmmm, I thought, I'll try another GFX card. Still the same. Different RAM. The same.
Took the cpu out to check it, and one of the contacts had burnt out, melting the plastic on the socket a bit too!
I'm RMAing both, but does anyone know what could've caused it?
I'm thinking (hoping!) faulty mobo....
