I recently got a build ordered for my friend which included an MSI X58 Pro, an i7 940, and a GTX 260. We put it all together (with trouble... he had a mid-tower case he insisted on using. thank goodness for tin-snips), but now it won't start up. The computer will turn on, the CPU lights at the top indicate that it's working (five LEDs) and the PCI-e slot light indicates it's working.
It'll go into a cycle of spontaneously restarting at random intervals... it could stay on for up to a minute, sometimes it restarts in a few seconds. Also, there is no video signal from the 260 in either PCI-e slots or either DVI port.
We tried taking out five of the six RAM sticks, unplugging everything that wasn't necessary for a POST, and still no luck. Also, the two CPU powers are connected and the 24 pin motherboard connector is connected, as well as the four pin one that goes right beside it. The fan of the 260 also spins up.
Anyone have any ideas?
