Hi chaps,

I need help with a recent build if possible - 2 days without gaming is killing me. Basically I went to turn on PC and get no video. I have since bought a new PSU and GPU thinking that might solve it, but same symptoms.

Video:
(excuse cabling, have been working on it)

As you can see, it starts.....stops, then starts up properly but has no video or sign of it loading bios or windows - this is with a NEW GPU and PSU :(

I bought this bundle from OcUK a month or so ago, got a few BSOD's earlier this week and a strange thing where it would get power to boot and then turn off then boot up fully? PSU was a decent 580watt tagan with 4890 at stock.

"Radon Torosaur" Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.40GHz Overclocked Bundle - Gigabyte
- CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.40GHz Sandybridge CPU
- Motherboard: Gigabyte P67A-UD4 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard **B3 REVISION**
- RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel


I have just bought these to see if it was PSU or GPU related....

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Twin FrozR II 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply


Still the same symptoms, no change at all. I have reseated ram, checked cables, recabled, taken out stick or ram, sound card, dvd drive, hdds. Still no video.

Any ideas? Is the mobo/cpu dead? Will I need to RMA? I am worried that I bought this only a month back and it's under warranty, but I don't have the boxes as I only have a small room :( I would like to try resetting the CMOS, but don't want to void any warranty or lose my OcUK overclock on there.
 
You can reset the cmos and it won't invalidate the warranty or lose the overclock profile. You just need to load the profile again after resetting.

If you updated the bios with a later version, you would do both.

Contact OCUK in the customer service forum.
 
Try doing a CMOS reset and only single memory module.

You can reload the saved profile.
 
This worked, took out the bios battery and I'm in windows now.

Thanks for help, I was at the end of my tether.

No probs :)

Hopefully it was just the overclock throwing a wobbler, mine has done it once or twice!
