Hi guys, well... feeling pretty frustrated at the moment. I spent around £1300 on my new system just last week, and theres a few issues which im experiencing. It feels like something just isnt right at all, its a horrible feeling!
Any help would be appriciated.
Ok here is the main components (got an overclocked bundle):
i7 2600k
Asrock Extreme 7 Gen 3
Corsair AX1200
480 GTX
128GB M4 SSD
8GB Vengence Ram
STX Soundcard
When I first went to power it on after building it, it turned off after 10 seconds, it finnaly got going but wouldn't display anything. Then tried every PCIe slot on the motherboard, nothing. After half an hour it finally came round and displayed.
Then, my Keyboard/Mouse wasn't powering up, so I could not access the Bios, when it eventually did it wasn't showing my SSD. So I tried different Sata ports, turns out 4 of them don't work!
So I went to inspect the "overclock", and its a stock speed, it was meant to be at 4.7Ghz. So it seems to have reset itself.
So finally got windows installed and i've been gaming on BF3 happly since then.
But as time goes on it feels like as I say, something isn't right. I thought i'd try see if the other PCIe slots work, well, it appears they dont?! I've put my GFX card in everyone, and windows doesnt detect it, except for the top slot. I tried it in the slot where I have my STX soundcard and it still doesnt pick it up.
Another mystery, when I first get into windows, sometimes there is no network, I click on anything internet based and it just doesn't load, avast is down aswell and I cannot do anything to turn it back on. I go to "Diagnosis problem" on the network icon and it says error. It eventually comes round and then works fine.
The retailer said they will send me the OC settings they used so I can restore that, but should I just send my bundle back and tell them to RMA the motherboard, as to me this seems to be the problem...
Sorry for the long post!
