hi guys, so i got the bare minium's in the case, when i turn the computer on to see if i can get an video output not much is happening. Everything turns on and is working to some degree but nothing much else. i have tried on 2 different screens with vga input and so far got nothing.

what is currently installed;
240gb hyperx 3k ssd
I7 4790k
Z97 gaming 5 MSI Mobo (red lights at the back of the mobo)
Avexir venom ram (16gb) 2100mhz ( this is just blinking green when its turned on)
GTX970

here are some pictures;

additional note:3rd pic the little digit thing flashes 00, 05, 15, 55. if that means anything. also there is a red light on my gpu(first time it has been taken out of the bag -__-). am i meant to use 2 seperate supplies for the GPU cause atm i have the sli bridge on in methinks.

all other information is currently on the build log. not very big, but thats everything else you will need to know.

no burning smell, and no i didn't connect the cooler atm.... It was turned on for about 1min, shouldn't of been enough time to damage the cpu i hope. also im going to use the stock thermal paste for the mean time.
 
coller clearance is good tbh, it was positioned like that because i forgot the cpu power supply cable, so took it off to accomodate and never fitted it back on. Im now going to take it to a local computer shop and get them to test it, just to be sure i haven't caused any damage.

@JonSmith, i couldn't find any speaker like component. dunno if its just me or i have misplaced it.

@Danny75: i will shimmy the ram into 2nd and 4th slot when i get home at about 8pm.

You won't need a shop mate, just get the cpu block on, move the RAM over to 2 and 4, although that wouldn't cause the problem I don't think it would just mean it wouldn't run in dual channel mode. Try to boot with the motherboards DVI output, and if all is good, put the card in the top slot, and try with the gpu. Out of curiosity, what id the led post code reading ? try to make a note of the sequence, from pressing the power button until it stops.

I wouldn't worry mate, most cases don't come with a speaker now. One tip though, I now us blokes don't like to read a manual but it might help mate.

I installed the motherboard according to the manual, the ram i didn't know about and i will get the sequence. Just need to figure out where to plug all the H100i's stuff into the motherboard
 
GOOD NEWS!!! so good i cracked open a packet of smarties, so i done what every1 said. If turned on all fine and i got the following message on the screen:
