I brought a bundle from OC that was overclocked link below

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-103-OE

Also brought MSI Geforce GTX 660, when plug in nothing show, all fans are spinning inc graphic card but no BIOS will show, I have updated the BIOS to latest, but if i put my old 275 GTX in it works so using that at the moment!!
Tried diffrent slot, pulled BIOS batt out etc but nothing.. The PSU is 1000watt from OC cant remeber the name but it only a year old and is a good quilty one.

Any ideas lads,
 
Seen a few posts recently on here with regards to 660\660Ti not posting, believe in those cases it was down to the new cards not being recognised and were fixed with a bios upgrade to the MB, but you have tried that. What date was the latest bios update for your MB? If it precedes the 660 that may be your problem.:(
 
Not sure will find out but updated it last night and was a beta one too... I have to say it factory OC so will this cause a problem on a new bored???
 
You are not supposed to upgrade the BIOS on bundles, as it will mess up your overclock that OverclockersUK personally set up for you.

from item listing:
Note - Please note that adding in additional memory to the spare slots will require new BIOS settings and the maximum clock speed attainable may be significantly reduced. OcUK recommend a quality brand PSU for use with all our bundles such as the Corsair TX & HX range. Updating the BIOS on the overclocked bundle range will void the warranty on the overclock. If you update the BIOS we will no longer be able to provide support for configuring and maintaining the CPU overclock.



If you want to, you can try going into the motherboard BIOS and selecting the "reset to default" option somewhere. That will run everything on automatic, and system should boot up unless you have a hardware problem, but you will lose any overclocks.


edit:
if a 275 is working, might be an issue with PCI-E 3.0 compatibility
