Graphics/Gaming 1st Build Problem

Ahhh, that's cool. Thank you for your reassurance, my heart isn't jumping through my chest cavity now :D

Maybe a little drink would help ? Jest.

Will let you know how we get on.

Thanks so much !!!!!

Yeah sort the standoffs. Also make sure your boot disk is plugged into the first internal SATA channel (looks like it's in E-SATA 1).
 
damn m8 hope its ok.

i dont have manual here for yo mobo but thos sticks of ram are they not meant to be in the yellow slots as you only have two?.

any ways good luck keep us posted fingers X
 
cant see anything out of the ordinary there...does your GPU have a custom fitted fan? looks like it from here lol...what GPU is it?

OK EDIT:

I had a closer look and now can see the problem that u lot see lol...you were using thumb screws for the motherboard...that definitely explains it.

Hi again,

Have just disassembled the whole thing and the are 4 standoff's factory fitted on the lower half of where the P5Q would sit but none above this point. The case is an Antec 300.
The mobo would have been directly screwed to the top half of the case with the two thumbscrews.

I have cleaned the cpu and heatsink ready for re-assembly, and just inserted the other standoff/risers into the case.

Wish me luck :D
