Hi guys thanks for your quick responses. I will try to answer all questions. I have done all the usual checks. LED on mobo is green. The rig stays powered on but the power light on top is Orange. All the fans are working, the 4 on the case, the one on the gfx card and the cpu heatsink. The MemOK light came on a few times but after hitting the button it blinks for a while and stops blinking but still no display!

All the front panel connectors are inserted correctly as per the manual. I have tried the display cable in the onboard gfx and the pcie. Tried vga vga-dmi and hdmi. i have all the power connectors in on the mobo and the gfx is in the blue which i think is correct slot. I have a VGA switch card in the other pcie slot. I have tried booting with and without it.

Forgot to say that i dont have an onboard speaker as i am pretty sure my case above doesnt come with one. If you check the case reviews it says in there. I broke the only other old speaker that i had.

I am stumped. Pleas if you have any suggestions let me know.

Thanks.

Thanks cat i remember readiong about that when i speced the system. It says you need to go in and change boot priority, but i cannot enter bios as i get no image. If i put those files on usb will it work if i cant see the bios? Thanks.

Hey i have tried removing the hard drive and still no boot. After i put the ram in and secured the fan its a bit snug. Theres about 1 or 2mm between the heatsink and the top of the ram, would that be an issue. I am pretty sure thought that the power light remains orange?

I can't think of anything else to do, so any suggestions would be great.

hey thanks for all the advice. I finally got the thing booting after i took out one of the ram sticks. Now its booting off of the onboard graphics. I cannot get the gpu to work though. There is no setting in the bios for disabling, jus setting the preference which doesnt deem to help. Thanks.
