Hello, I am doing my first build and am having a major issue and need help. I tried starting the system up after completely the assembly. Upon pressing the power button, all fans kicked on, hard drive started spinning and everything seemed to be working. The monitor is getting video signal, however it only shows a random assortment of colors and mush. I have restarted several times, tried to do a barebones boot(cpu,1 stick of ram, and power), & cleared the CMOS. Am I missing something or do I have a bad component. Let me give you my specs:
MOBO – Asus M4A78T-E (using onboard video)
CPU – AMD Phenom II X4 810 2.6Ghz
RAM – OCZ Platinum 4GB(2x2GB) DDR3 2000 (OCZ3P20004GK)
HD – Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB
PSU – Nexus NX-8060 600W
If you have any suggestions I will gladly try them as I would much rather fix a component myself than have to RMA it and wait for the replacement. Thank you!
