Hi,

I came across a strange issue after putting together a new PC.
I got it to boot (at least I think so) but there is nothing showing on the monitor.
Also none of the keys/light come on on the keyboard.

Config is:
i5 3450
P8H61 PRO-M mobo
8GB Kingston Hyper X Genesis 1600Mhz CL9
500W CM Silent Pro
128GB M4

PS/2 keyboard ;)

I get the same thing with an external graphic card.

Each time I power it up it comes on twice with quick reset and then finally all is going but no vision ;)

Mem OK showing ok, both ATX plugs connected, same thing without mems.
 
Built in (mobo) VGA (and one on the normal gfx card), tried 2 monitors - same type, working ok with other PCs
 
Tried CMOS reset a number of times.
This mobo haven't got any extra lights apart from Power LED & mem OK.
No speaker to check for signals :/
I will by trying to flash bios shortly but that means I have to take 2500K of my rig to put into this one... bummer :/ (unless someone knows of a different way to do it?)

Edit:
Just checked 2nd set of mems, and the PSU with my tester. Both OK.
Seems like a mobo or CPU then....

Just for future generations ;)
I had to update the BIOS to get the Ivy working... shame on Asus as anyone with low budget going for H61 chip has to have a Sandy to hand to flash it before Ivy can work!
