Help!

Afternoon all, my new system has just arrived.

I have a corsair 620 PSU

4GB geil

Q600

8800 GTX

Ip35 mobo

I cannot get it to boot!

I have stripped it all back to CPU and mobo with 1 stick of mem, it comes on all fans start going then shuts off after about 7 seconds then comes on and stays on with no display....

Any ideas?

Take out the RAM. Make sure the PC speaker is connected. Does it beep at you?

The On - Off -On seems to be characteristic of some Abit motherboards, mine does it too.

have you plugged in all the connecters including power ones to the gfx and the small extra power connectror to the mobo

I have http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-145-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=

as a case and it doesnt have any cables for speakers!

On the mobo there are speaker jumpers but no speaker in the case..

I ahve taken the ram out though and it does exactly the same.

Hope this isnt RMA i have been waiting to play crisis for ages!

ANy other ideas anyone?

Yea i have plugged in 2 PCI e connecters into the GTX and one 24 pin connector to the mobo and a further 8 pin connector next to the cpu (feeds the CPU i believe)?

there is also a ATX connector above the PCI slots does this need to be connected as well? i have tried with and without with no diff just wondered...
