I'll try another graphics card tommorow, got an ATI X1600 pro downstairs thats analogue.

I cant see any green lights on the graphics card.

Shoudl the H50 be in the :

SYSTEM FAN 1

or

CPU FAN???

It was in the system fan 1..

Ive re-done it and it sounds like thw H50 is making some more noise, like water spashes. No display even now tho..

EDIT: This is very odd, I took the DVI cable out of the back of the gfx card, and one of the screws came out of the back of the gfx adaptor thing.

Also, I think it could be the graphics card, I'll have to try my old one tommorow.

This came off the back of the gfx card.

OK im about to try my old ATI x1600 pro, wish me luck.

mufc802 · 30 Oct 2009 at 23:37

Failed.. It now says Checking signal cable - digital which it has never said before - it always used to be analogue. And this graphics card uses Analogue.

So it's not the graphics card...

-- Tommorow I will replace the H50 with the stock cooler, this is the only thing I can think of. I've been at this for 9 hours now and I can't believe what a fail it's been, worked 4 months for these parts and it wont bloody work.

Take a picture of your memory installed if you could

Why take a picture, I can tell you it's in both blue slots, the other two are black. I've tried one stick, in both slots.

you have your memory wrong, put it in the black slots only

That’s excellent – the only down side to this, as far as i can tell, is that we’re going to have to kill you

Hehe, please give me time to mess with my new pc first.

Gotta put my new xfx 4890 again.

I've learned loads doing this rig, it's my first one so I'm pretty pleased with how it went.

I should have checked the motherboard manual about which slots to put the RAM!
