Ok, this is my first real build, i have changed gfx card, harddrive and optical drive before but never an entire computer.

I purchased the haf 922 case
- power supply - coolmaster pro gold 1000w
- motherboard - crosshair v forumla
- gfx card - i fitted a 5570 directly into the motherboard - i will use it until my 6970 comes next week
- processor -1100t
- heatsink - thermalright venomous x with two 120mm black apaches
- optical drive - lg blue ray
- hdd - western digital black cavilier 1tb
- ram- 8gb (2 x4gb corsair vengeance)

Once i installed the hardware, i cabled everything very well. when the power was connected, some lights show up on my motherboard. One i press the boot button my case, every led on my motherboard lights up and the optical drive opens and closes. All case fans spin.

I plugged an hdmi cable into the gfx card - no signal, and no signal with a vga either. -- I am running off a 27" tv


The fans on my heatsink are not spinning and every now and again turn slightly - i think they only spin when needed - PLEASE CORRECT ME.

I have a video to show my computer in action -
-video removed-

p.s. there was no beep upon boot
i smell no burning etc..



thanks in advance

Are all power connections connected including the 8 pin for cpu power.

Try only one memory module and try a CMOS reset.

(not check video)
 
....i dont think the 8 pin for cpu power is connected - give me 5 minutes and i check, if not - i plug it in


- sorry i forgot to list what ram i am using - 8gb (2 x4gb corsair vengeance)

FYI, replace your swear word with **** as I've done.

From the FAQ:

No swearing, posting of "adult" material, personal attacks or "trolling"

OcUK would like you and your whole family to learn and share via our forums. For this reason swearing and the posting of "adult" or offensive material is forbidden. Simply replacing some of the letters in a swearword with a * or any other character is not acceptable. If you must then please replace the whole word with ***** or other repeated character. We also expect members to behave respectfully and not launch personal or abusive attacks on other members. Those who post for the sole purpose of causing trouble are not welcome here and will be dealt with accordingly.
