Re: New Mobo and cpu, now no go.

does the motherboard have onboard vga?

Maybe you need to specifically tell it to use the addin card and not the onboard one

Re: New Mobo and cpu, now no go.

nope no onboard video. but you should see the amount of audio connections O.O

and apparently my 8600gts has no want or ability for any other power other than the main power from the mother board and the 4 pin molex which i already have connected.

Re: New Mobo and cpu, now no go.

Have you tried to turn it on directly through the power switch pin terminal from the motherboard?

Re: New Mobo and cpu, now no go.

ok, it seems my missus's idea fixed it. I removed the mobo from the case, put it on some cardboard and fired it up. perfection instantly.

Re: New Mobo and cpu, now no go.

Something must have been shorting it..

Did you use the standoffs?

Re: New Mobo and cpu, now no go.

sure did, and there's no risen part of the case, and for what i can tell no sagging part in the mobo.

heh, now my next challenge begins - installing vista. oh save me jebus!

btw, cheers for all the help on this one, i was really about to lose the plot.
