PC problems, need super duper help !

Just finished my new build today including a new 570 bought direct from **** HQ

Any way I am with out a mouse or keyboard at the minute, so I cant get past the bios screen. What worries me though is the picture that is being displayed at the top of my screen, am hoping this isnt a Graphics card problem ?

tried it on my LCD TV + projector and both display the same image

I have a Z68 motherboard, does that not need a graphics card ?

OK I just unplugged the power connectors out of my 570 and attached a HDMI cable to my onboard HDMI slot on my motherboard and its now displaying the exact same image "except" the pattern is now at the bottom of the screen and not at the top like displayed on the video

Any ideas ?

Well I just took my ram out and put 2 different stick in and its still doing the same thing, my Mrs is going to lend me a keyboard so maybe updating the bios or something might fix it

Just happy it doesnt seem to point to my new 570

Tried a different cable and made no difference, getting a mouse and keyboard later

nightrider1470 · 25 Jul 2011 at 17:28

Guys got a keyboard now and it ont boot past these screen, it just freezes up

Dont think its the card as its new and still doing it with onbaord graphics on my Z68

I have 4 x 2GB DDR3 stick and tried them all and its still doing it

The 2500k was bought used of a guy off the bay, is it any way it could be the CPU ? or wouldnt it boot at all ?

Am really really lost here! and stressing as I havent got a clue whats wrong

Maybe a faulty motherboard ?

Is it safe to say its defo not a the CPU ? only thing I havent got any warranty with as bought used

I wouldn't rule out the CPU just yet. Unless someone else you know has got a board and a CPU you can borrow, you are going to have to spend money to find out your issue. Even if it is something very basic such as:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-384-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=2037 (Cheapest SB chip)

OR

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-355-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1965 (Cheapest SB board)

You would only need to get one to find out your problem.

What a total nightmare

having to spend more money I havent got

If anyone can come up with anything else it would be appreciated !

Messing with the motherboard headers and restarting the build all over again fixed it
