Just built my new PC;

i5 750
MSI P55 GD80
4GB Gskills Ripjaw
Crossfire 5770's
Corsair VX550
Corsair H50-1
2 x F3 500GB (For Raid0)

Just built it, and it doesnt boot, doesnt post, fans spin up for a few seconds.
The little LCD display on the MB showed error code D4 first, googled and found its a memory issue? So took out one stick, unlugged, cleared CMOS and tried again. Fans spin, Error Code 2A now!

What have I done wrong? :(
 
I dont know what to do, am getting so many different errors! If I swap graphics cards I get different errors, swap ram modules I get different errors. Help! :(
 
Right, If I have both stick of Ram in Slots 1 and 3 I get the error D4, If I have either in slot 1, It goes pack D4 and I get the error 2A. Does that mean slot 3 is broken? :\
 
Have tried both my 5770's individually and also a passive PCI-E card I had laying about here. I was using one of my 5770's yesterday so I know they work fine. If I try the GPU in a different PCI-E slot I get a different error message again.
 
I would have thought It would be getting enough power? :|

I get the furthest with 1 stick of RAM and 1 GPU. Havent tried changing the number of HDD's would it make any difference? :|
 
The PSU was fine yesterday powering the Rig in my sig. I would have thought it should be more than ample for the new rig? :|

Any thoughts on that error code?
 
Will try 1 HDD then. When I searches I got loads of results about graphics?

I cant get into the bios, the fans spin up for about 2-3 seconds, the LCD is on the MB, then everything shuts off and the MB goes into standby mode (Standby light on?)
 
One more thing, as soon as I turn the power on on the back of the PSU, the computer turns on by its self? I thought that it was my front pannel wiring, but I then removed all of them and it still boots on its own and work re-boot until you fully power off at the PSU and turn back on?

THis is soo strange. Wish I never bought this board (got it off the MM so now warrenty probably :()
 
Would removing the battery for 10 mins help at all? Clear the CMOS properly? How long should I hold down the "clr CMOS" button? :\
 
Here is the thread I bought it from;

The guy I bought it off had 359 positive trust comments :\
 
Am tempted to email the guy I bought it off. The board sounds like its ****** :(

This sucks, got the i5 750, H50-1 and two Sapphire 5770's for my birthday on Wednesday and havent been able to use it yet! :(
 
Ohh, I found the Receipt! Woops. Receipt is dated 8th September 2009. How would I go about RMAing the board then? Never done this before :\
 
Yeah, its an OCUK receipt. Do OCUK handle RMA's if they are under 12 months?

Which number do I call?

0871 910 910 2 Support
or
0871 910 910 3 Systems Support
