Hi

Just got the following in the post:
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4
  • CPU: Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.7 Ghz
  • Cooler: Xigmatek HDT-D1284 Heatpipe Cooler
  • Memory: Mushkin XP2-8500 2x2GB DDR2-1066
  • Graphics: Gainward GTS-250 (G92b) 1GB DDR3

I connected them to a Corsair 450W PSU

When I power the thing up, I noticed that the CPU fan was not spinning so immediately powered off, checked the cabling and tried again. Still not spinning. I then swapped out the Xigmatek for the stock cooler and powered on. The stock cooling fan spins up fine, but there are no beeps and nothing on the screen.

Do I have a dead mobo? What further troubleshooting steps can you recommend?

Thanks!

Thanks - my problem was that I hadn't plugged in the ATX_12V_2X4 power. Never seen that before on a motherboard - all working now though... :)
