Hi

Building a new pc using this motherboard: GA-MA785GMT-UD2H

and a 500W power supply (1 x 20 pin & 1 x 4 pin connectors).

The CPU fan, hard drive and power supply all spin up but no display on the monitor and no beeps.

Have tried: taking out all of the memory and still no beeps

used a different power supply and still no display

I only have the Motherboard, memory, CPU, heat sink & fan & power supply connected.

Any ideas?

Do I have a faulty motherboard?

I have everything planned out, but I was wondering if I should consider RAID/what RAID to use. I plan to purchase 2x1TB drives. Currently I'm leaning toward RAID… >>> More

I never got an answer in my googling to this about a year ago and have an extra stick of memory I'd like to be able to use. When is inserted the computer starts, and then reboots immediately in an endless reboot cycle. As soon as the 4th stick is removed, the computer works fine. Right now I have… >>> More
