Hello all, i'm back, although I wish it could be entirely good news.
I have had a issue with my sandybridge asus motherboard and my new build, as suggested to me by this forum a few days ago. After checking many sources and etc, I finally had the PC together and running. However, it doesn't really run
Firstly, my pc began smoking when I plugged it in and turned it on. Being a novice at a build, I read a few posts and some people mentioned it was a cpu issue, and I needed to reapply the fan. After also seeing the fan was the wrong way round (oops) I fixed it back in, corrected my mistake with the new thermal grease coating and started it up without the side on. I began to get two short beeps on my mobo on startup. I tried swapping RAM around and etc, and after trying it without the crossfire setup, it turned into a single continuous beep with doesn't end. I can't find a definitive answer to this though, and don't know why it is doing it.
A final note to mention is my cpu cooler (asaka venom) doesn't spin at all yet, the front led and fan on my coolermaster case do start though and my optical drive opens and closes fine.
Any suggestions to the issue would be much appreciated, and I will leave a full unplug/reinstall to my final option as I spent two evenings doing this and it has given me some bad-ass headaches
Thanks to all,
Ollie
