corsair customer support is excellent but their products "power supplies" are awful,i have had nothing but problems from them,in fact they're the only power supplies that gave me problems. the best i have used are Enermax & XFX Pro silver plus.

OP - You sure the graphics card works?

I am not sure, the fan on the graphics card will spin like normal when I start the computer.

But I don't really stress my graphics card much so that it would have died.

stulid · 2 Nov 2012 at 12:47

Can you try the card in a PC that you know works?

I don't suppose you are trying to connect a VGA (Dsub) monitor to a DVI-D port using one of those supplied DVI-VGA adapters? as that wont work.

D.Roberts · 2 Nov 2012 at 12:48

Have ya connected the PCI-E power cables correctly or at all to GPU.

So it must turn on for the GPU fan to spin does the CPU fan spin up or connected.

All so Do you get a post beap if so how many.

Jordan711 · 2 Nov 2012 at 13:08

No I use HDMI to connect to monitor and no other computer to test.

All cables are connected I've checked like 10 times haha, and I get 1 beep when it posts like normal.

D.Roberts · 2 Nov 2012 at 13:09

Ah HDMI well I would try VGA or DVI on another moniter to make sure its not the HDMI port being fussy or broke.

Jordan711 · 2 Nov 2012 at 14:56

Tried VGA didn't work.

BIOS update?

Jordan711 · 2 Nov 2012 at 16:18

Just updated BIOS to version 3.5.

Also when I booted on onboard graphics I noticed in the POST it said something like "CMOS Checksum Bad"

stulid · 2 Nov 2012 at 16:21

Load default settings within the BIOS and then set it up to how you had it (boot priority/memory/cpu settings etc)

Jordan711 · 2 Nov 2012 at 17:16

Still won't show display on graphics card and everything was at stock in BIOS anyway.

I'm assuming you've tried reseating it? Are you using the PCI-E power directly from the PSU or using an adapter in between?
