Fans on graphic gards starts. Also all other fans and HD. USB and sata ports got power. I have no clue what I have done wrong :-( Title: Re: Newbee with a new minrig, black screen (wont start up) Post by: fattypig on April 24, 2014, 09:51:34 AM plug your monitor into the main PCIE

Sometimes the PSU has a switch to go between 120V or 240V. Check that. Does your MB have built in vga or DIV-D output? If it does, try removing the video cards first and plug into MB's own monitor ports. Remove one of the video cards and CrossFire link. Is your monitor on? Set to the right input? Don't laugh. I've seen it happen before.

I've got the same board, but different GPUs, it was a bit tricky to get up until I made sure I'd routed power properly.

I nearly sent my mobo back to shop because it was a bit(really a bit) loose. All the fans were on and it seemed like its running, but there was nothing on monitor.

Those LEDs help with troubleshooting. No, didnt see any. At least connect the computer case speaker and see if it beeps. Many motherboards beep when the MB passes initial BIOS check. Sometimes the PSU has a switch to go between 120V or 240V. Check that. How? Then don't worry about it. You have the type that auto switches between 120 and 240V.

For the CPU, check and see if the ZIF socket arm is down and *locked*. |
