I just installed a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM into my computer. I plug everything in and power it up and all the fans start up; the two case fans, the CPU fan, the power supply fan, and the Video card fan. The mother board lights up but I get no display. While trying to fix it I tried intentionally unplugging the hard drive, then the RAM then the video card (some alone, and some combinations of the three). When any or all of these things are taken out, everything still starts the same way, so I am having even more trouble figuring out what is going wrong. I have read that it could be the power supply, but the power supply was bought less than a month ago and should handle it. Can anyone point me in a direction that may solve this? Parts: ASUS Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 Intel Motherboard Intel Core 17-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz Quadcore Processor G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2x2GB) 240 - Pin DDR3 1600 CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W EVGA GeForce 9600 GT 1GB 256-bit PCI Express 2.0 x16 Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB 7200 RPM 8MB SATA 3.0Gb/s (i dont now if I'm sharing any relevant information, I can provide newegg links where i purchased them, if needed, but I dont want to break any posting rules)
I tried pressing the power button at the same as i pressed the reset button, but it started up the same way, when i press the reset button, the SATA light flashes once, as does the CPU light. I don't what the CMOS is... so I can't find the battery to take it off. EDIT: looked it up and tried it, nothing changed when i took the battery out. Also I noticed that the power LED just flashes on for less than a second then goes away and a lot of the LED lights on the motherboard aren't lighting such as the one for the CPU(different light than the one above) and the SATA. I tried testing and unplugged the 8pin cord then the 4-pin cord from the power supply and it still started up the same way but the power light on the case stay on this time, and it wont turn off unless I flip the master power switch.
I have solved my problem, I read else where to try and set it up out of case. I'm not sure if this was actually the problem, but when doing so, it was sturdier so i heard the RAM click in more securly than I had before even those it appeared to be in. I think that was the problem, but I'm not sure. Thank you for you help, ItsFixed.
