Ok, first off, I'm new here so "High." Now a couple of months ago a friend of mine decided to upgrade his motherboard and gave me the old one. After I got off of this last deployment, i had a bit of money laying around so I decided "why not? I'll build a computer." Obviously I used the motherboard my friend gave me. This was my first build.
Now, by going off of the Specs, all the parts I used should be compatible, but after the initial power-up, I'm not so sure. Everything came online very smoothly, the blue LEDs looked nice. But no picture came up on my monitor and the power LED as well as the LEDs on the video card were blinking non-stop, once every two seconds. After some troubleshooting, I also noticed that the video card kept making a high-pitched hum, over and over, like the revving of a car engine, restarting every few seconds.
The parts used are as follows:
Video Card: Newegg.com - ASUS EAH4890/HTDI/1GD5 Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
PSU: Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies
Processor: Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 140W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
Motherboard: Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards
RAM: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK - Desktop Memory
Hard Drive: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drives - Internal Hard Drives

Any help on this matter would be most appreciated.
