Hey,
Before I start here is the spec I've built:
Case: Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case with Fan Controller - Black
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 700W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H Socket 1155
CPU:Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Ivybridge
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7
Graphics Card: MSI HD 6850 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express
RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Low Profile Vengeance
Hard Drive: Seagate 500GB 3.5" SATA-III 6Gb/s Barracuda Hard Drive
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Optical Drive: Standard DVDRW
All my parts for my spec arrived yesterday, put everything together, double checked it all and then powered up.
I have 2 problems here;
When everything above is connected and powered up nothing appears on my screen. The cpu cooler is working, optical drive and the MSI 6850's fan is spinning. I removed MSI 6850 and connected the monitor to the motherboard output and it seemed to boot up.
I checked the BIOS everything seems detected and fine so i went ahead to install my Windows 7 64Bit. When I try to install it, after a few selection screens it gets to a driver screen and it can't seem to detect any hard drive. The hard drive seems to be detected on the BIOS.
Ok now the second problem, the MSI 6850.
Once I reconnect the MSI 6850 and power back up I have the same problem again, nothing on my monitor. Could the card be faulty or could there be a problem with my motherboard? The fan on the MSI seems to work but no output to the monitor.
So my two problems are Windows 7 won't install because it can't detect 'drivers' and when I connect the MSI 6850 I do not get anything on my screen.
During the installation I was very careful and took my time, made sure I handled everything correctly. I honestly thought I did a pretty good job for my first time doing a complete new build.
Any help and advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
