Hi,
I recently ordered ~£900 of gear from OcUK. It arrived today and me and my housemate got set building our new pc's.
We ran into two problems:
Rig 1:
Asus M3A, AMD 6400+ Black edition (AM2/Dual Core), 4x1GB Geil 1066 DDR2 (Matched pairs), 8800gt (works in other PC), Monitor (working on other pc), Modstream PSU 420w (works in other PC).
After assembling the rig, I press the power button and all of the fans and HDD's spin up. However, nothing appears on the monitor (no signal).
I tried a different CPU, RAM and GPU, none of this helped.
Rig 2:
Coolermaster Cosmos case (brand new from OcUK), Asus M3A (brand new from OcUK), OCZ Flex2 1066 4x2GB (Matched pair), BFG GTX280 1024mb, AMD 6000+ AM2 Dual Core, Enermax Infinity 720w PSU.
After connecting CPU, Motherboard, GPU, RAM and PSU, the system powers up as soon as the PSU cable is connected. But shows nothing on the monitor and GPU fan does not spin. (Although CPU fan DOES spin)
Pressing the power button turns the system off, but it turns itself back on immediately.
After being left on for 10 seconds, it reboots itself. After turning the PSU switch off, the PSU beeps twice consecutively three times.
Tried to use a 7900gt GPU - this time the fan was spinning but the system still rebooted itself after 10 seconds.
We have tried everything we can think of including swapping numerous components but are still no closer to having working computers. The components from rig 2 are all brand new, I cannot see why they would not work straight out of the box.
The only duplicate in the two rigs is the Asus M3A. Are these boards known to ship faulty?
I have tried to phone OcUK tech support but the office is closed.
Please can anyone help?
Thank you!
