Turn it on, various lights on the motherboard are on and all the fans are spinning.

I currently haven't got a monitor, have to wait till Christmas for that so i'm connecting to my HDTV. Tried connecting it to HDMI slot on TV and got nothing then tried connecting it to PC slot and got nothing again.

All psu connectors connected including the 8 pin for cpu power, also memory in the correct slots.

Yup. All PSU connectors are plugged in and using advice on this forum where i was told the RAM can go into either 2 of the black slots or 2 of the blue slots, that's what i done.

First obvious question......Did you find that screw you lost , that you mentioned in your previous thread?

Yeah. I managed to get it out by tilting the PC case without even reading the replies. Was me being clumsy and dumb tbh.

Specs
i5 760
Gigabyte GTX 460 SuperClocked
2x2GB OCZ Gold RAM
Asus P755H-M
 
Asus P7H55-M is what i meant to say.

Hmm, i'll try moving the one RAM stick into A2 then. I'd have thought i'd have got a post beep though if it was a memory issue?
 
Did that. No change. I did it with the case open though and discovered that only one of the fans on my GPU is spinning (there's two on there) - don't know if it's one of the features, it only spins in game or something...or even if it's related to why it won't boot properly.

Any other advice?

Don't take this as me trying to suggest you're a useless mug or anything because I'm just going from experience. The PSU connector the graphics card is DEFINITELY in?

Near killed myself when I spent two hours or more wondering why I couldn't get a boot screen and found out I hadn't plugged that particular one in.

Yup, my GFX card actually requires two of them, both of which are fully plugged in.
 
I followed the guide here, paired with my motherboard guide, went over things and i've done nothing different. I'm already a peed off i can't come up with the solution.
 
Thanks for the advice but i was that thorough when making it over the course of 2-3 days, i don't see how rebuilding it would change anything because i wouldn't be doing anything differently.
 
I'll try it without the GPU plugged in. As for not having an HDMI slot, i've got a DVI-HDMI adapter but tried it with an ordinary DVI-PC slot that my PC has aswell. I just don't understand why i'm getting no post or anything on screen, that and why only one of my GPU fans are spinning.
 
Wait, so what does that mean i should do?

I read on another forum about trying to force the ram down on the left side a bit because my motherboard on has clips on the right. I was optimistic but it didn't work. So what's this you're talking about?
 
No, i just checked they were full in again (for the hunderedth time). My motherboard doesn't have 2 clips, one either side of the stick, it has only one - i was just making sure the sides without the clips were down fully aswell, which they are.

Is this i5 760 issue meaning i should do something different? So far the only connecting to my TV i've done is through the connector on my GFX card.
 
Actually tried that just before you posted.

As i said earlier in the topic, i haven't touched the jumper or cmos...would that be anything to do with it? I didn't think it mattered on new components.
 
I've got them in the blue slots now anyway. I listened out for POST but didn't have the monitor on. POST didn't happen so i came on the forums.

A bit wierd that the manual with the motherboard says black or blue but that says it must go in blue.
