Right my mate has recently bought a load of new stuff for computer:

Samsung SpinPoint F1 250GB SATA-II 16MB Cache

Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 AMD 770 (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

HIS ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express)

AMD Phenom X4 Quad Core 9950 2.60GHz Black Edition (Socket AM2)

Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Kit

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Sound Card


only problem is that it wont show anything at start-up.

Tests ive done :


Cosmos reset

1 ram stick of eather type, none at all, different ram slot combo's, tested ram in my computer worked fine,

Disconnected hdd's

Removed sound card

Swapped graphics card

Checked under mobo to see if anything was touching it.


So i thought, motherboard problem? sent it back to overclockers they are sending it back as it has no fault (overclockers said, " yhea mate we got the bios up and all")?

any ideas what's up with it?
when i get the time iam gona have a look at the CPU, but even without all this stuff bios should still load right?

things to check are:

check fans running - for dodgy power supply (either psu or motherboard causes that)
unplug dvd / hd / ram / gpu (1 by 1)

- Make sure all the cables are plugged in cause its easy to forget 1 lil' cable :p -
