I bought a new barebones kit, cpu cooler, and video card. I put all of it together without a problem at all. I started it up for the first time, it loaded through the BIOS, prompted me for a disk to install from, so I inserted by win xp64 disk in. (just loading xp64 to use win7 64 upgrade i got through school) After it read the disk, it went to the blue screen where it tells you it is loading all the blah blah blah…. then went black. Gave it a few minutes, and nothing, so i restarted it.
I can not get the monitor to show anything. No BIOS. all fans and drives spin up, no beeps, no video output.
I pulled everything back out, double checked it all, and reinserted it. Still nothing. What am I missing? all components are brand new. I stripped it down to mobo, psu, ram and hdd, still can not get video from the onboard output.
Please help me
mobo is Gigabyte M68MT-D3
CPU is AMD 1055t
Ram is OCZ DDR3 4gb stick
PSU is Eagle 550w
vid card is GeForce GTX 460
Processor cooled by a CM 212+ Hyper
