I bought the Z77 Kypton bundle from you earlier this month and have only just got round to building the system (Christmas present).

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...-001-GI&tool=3

Having spent several careful hours putting the system together I now find myself stuck the machine will simply not boot, it gets stuck in a loop and will not even POST, they drives start to spin up but then it reboots and it goes again.I get no output on the screen.

I am currently running this bundle without any expansion cards and using the onboard video, I have tried running the board outside of the case to ensure there are no shorts and I still get the same issue. I have tried with 2xRAM, 1xRAM and no RAM and I get the same results not even a POST BEEP.

PSU is an XFX 650W (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-003-XF&tool=3)

I have double and triple checked both power connectors and they are securely attached.

Any Ideas really stuck in a rut with it and would the new pc up and running for Christmas

Cheers

Yup I am thinking the same, noticed that quite a few people are having issues with this bundle...and the root cause appears to be the Z77-D3H....the one supplied to me was a rev 1.0 (only 1 4pin 12v socket) the 1.1 has a 8pin arrangement.

A friend of mine bought the same motherboard as part of a build and received the version 1.1, along with the same CPU as myself and his build boots and works perfectly.

This only leaves me with a couple of options.....

Bundle was DOA
Memory isnt 100% compatible (the one supplied isn't on the QVL list)
It was supplied to me untested as it seems to be a common fault...

Others with same issue:

Sadly still the same issue.....due to the volume of faults with this bundle it's becoming clear that my bundle along with others wasn't fully tested before shipping
 
From a phone call this morning I think it might be the bottom bracket on the Cooler that I need to invert, one side is plastic coated the other isnt and this could be causing the short.

I am at work today but will be trying it this afto and will report back on its success.
 
If its the Zero Infinity fan then make sure the plastic side of the bracket is touching the board, swapped mine and it worked instantly
