EDIT: Solved, I had left an old stand-off in place.


I have had to put together a new PC with the following.

GA-770TA-UD3
Athlon II X2 245
Kingston HyperX 2x2GB DDR3-1600

There are two GPU's that have been tested, Gigabyte 7600GT and Gigabyte HD5570.

I am not getting anything on the monitor. The old 7600GT does work, and was working on the previous machine. I have no way of testing the HD5570, but assume it is not to fault since the known GPU also doesnt work.

RAM, have tried different slots, 1 stick, both sticks, and no luck still. I have no way of testing them otherwise.

CPU, checked seating. No way of testing otherwise.

24pin connector checked, 2x 4pin power checked. GPU's do not need extra power. No other expansion cards.

Taken cmos battery out, and re-inserted, without a change.

Also, there are have never been any post beeps, I assume its not getting far enough to post. GPU/CPU fans do spin, HDD and DVD drive can be heard. HDD activivty light never turns off.


What are peoples suggestions?
