I bought 1.3k worth of hardware and assembled the machine only to find there was no display. After RMAing the processor, video card, and motherboard, I was told that the problem was that the motherboard didn't support 45nm technology. I bought an open-box motherboard that I know does support 45nm technology. I try to boot up, but still get no display, and the computer doesn't seem to be doing anything. I am completely out of ideas as to what the problem is.
This is my current hardware setup:
ASRock 4Core1333-Viiv LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3160815AS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31000340AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
2 x A-DATA 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory
LG Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 4X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 5X DVD-RAM DVD-ROM: 16X Blu-ray DVD-ROM: 6X HD DVD-ROM: 3X DVD-ROM 40X CD-R 24X CD-RW 4MB Cache SATA Blu-ray/HD DVD-ROM & 16X DVD±R DVD Burner
XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT XXX 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card
HEC ZEPHYR HEC-750DR-AT Continuous 750W ATX12V V2.2/EPS12V V2.91 LED SLI Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
When I boot up, I get no video output, no beep codes, nothing. Occasionally, the system restarts itself after a few seconds. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on since I have no video, but all of the fans are spinning and the DVD light blinks, so I presume everything is getting power OK.
Does anyone have any idea why this might not be working? I am completely lost. This has already become a money pit, and I'd really just like for the system to do ANYTHING.
