Well, I just built my new gaming PC (Yay!)
BUT

When the computer boots, I get no picture on the monitor (Tried a 50" HDMI Tv, 24" DVI screen, And a hard glass monitor, None have worked), And I dunno why, Any ideas?

Specs are as follows:

KFA2 White PCB GTX 560
Asus P8P67 LE Mobo
Corsair GX 650 PSU
G Skill ripjaws X 4 Gig RAM (2x2 Gig)
I5 2400

Theres nowhere to plug in the monitor without the GPU in though >_>
And I've tried with or without the PSU 6 pin/2x4pin Molex, And Ive taken it out and put it back in
 
Its the PCI slot closest to the CPU, And its the coolermaster

And yeah, The 8 pin is in the slot to the top left of the CPU

Ok, good stuff. Just gotta run through a few quick Qs to hopefully home in on the issue:

Just to confirm, you did build the motherboard onto stand-offs, not directly onto the case side?

is the CPU cooler fan plugged into the CPU fan power slot on the motherboard?

Is the CPU cooler fitted securely?

Do you have a spare PCIe or PCI graphics card (or one you can quickly borrow)to hand with which you can use to test out in this system?
It appears I didnt build it onto the standoffs D:
Its the whole thing Farked then? :mad:
 
Done.
WE HAVE PROGRESS!
It isn't much, But I heard 2 beeps when I switched on (I hadnt got that before, Which means I have something to go off nao) >_>
 
Nothing in there about 2 beeps on startup, Although I read something that was AMI (Not sure if UEFI uses AMI) that said 2 short beeps was a "Parity circuit failure"
 
are you sure your cpu isn't out? it may also be a faulty mobo...
i just finished my first build and that exact thing is happening, i need to check if the cpu is dead though as my mate took out his cpu and ran the pc and it did exactly the same thing as yours is doing and mine is too :)

Ill try reseating the CPU :3
 
Motherboard should be coming on monday, They picked it up on Wednesday, And my Dad got a phonecall, Aparrantly, Some pins on the mobo were bent, And the guy was running Win7 on it; So I hope its ok now >_>
 
I know it's cool to build your own stuff etc, but I really don't understand how people can spend crazy amounts of money on things and then attempt to put it all together them selves.

It's like trying to fit a new exhaust on your car, you just wouldn't do it unless you were a mechanic. You would take it too one.

Anyway, best of luck sorting everything out. Maybe next time just buy a pre built system :)
I shall not be buying a prebuilt ever after this, As this is my steep learning curve :3

And I got the mobo back, Still doesnt work; Its the processor I think now.
RMA'd that, It's getting picked up tomorrow, Should be here next week. :3
