Noob Build Thread :)

Can you post couple of photo's of your system as it can sometimes help when you look at the actual system :)

You do have the main 24pin ATX and the 4 pin for cpu power connected.

For me, it takes quite a long time for the display to pickup anything.

IF you're sure that the PC is thermally secure (i.e. your heatsink is on OK) then turn it on and leave it for a minute or so.

IF you have the speaker connected, it will most likely beep at you.

One single beep means all is cool, but anything else post it here (might be two long, one short for example).

EDIT: Have you put the four pin power thing into the motherboard? That might be the issue.
 
It doesn't beep at all :S It made a horrible sound when I didn't power the GFX card though ahah!

The ram light is flashing which apparently means there is a problem with the ram. However I've also read it's borderline impossible for 2 bits of ram to fail. I've tried each bit in each channel each time resetting the Memory light.

I've also tried it without the graphics card to check its not an underpowering problem. It's definitely all powered up, I've double-triple checked it against the manual as I'm new to this. All of the ports are definitely plugged in.

Only other thing I can think of is the motherboard is Fubar'd however I don't have a spare so no way of checking. I'm thinking about putting it in a local repair shop. D'ya reckon this'd be a bad move?
