Why can't I start anything

idata — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:57:04 GMT

I just bought a i7-920 processor and DX58SO motherboard and installed them into my tower with a 850watt power supply.

I followed every instruction to the letter even going over everything more than once.

After putting in a video card, I turned it on and it seemed to be running without no video output. I waited a few minutes and pressed the reset button to give it another go.

Now when I press the power button it turns on the lights and fan just enough to notice before turnin off again.

I have tried removing everything and have reinstall cpu and fan hopin' for atleast a beep. But still doin the same.

Any suggestions on where to go from here?? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

What happens when you boot without any memory?

Also what SL number CPU do you have?

It does the same with or without memory in it.

My processor is SLBEJ.

Today i have gotten it to keep runnin' twice. First when I woke up this mornin' and again after a couple hours of it being turned off. If i turn it off after that and try to turn it on again it starts with the 1 second before turn off again.

All I have in it now is Ram, Processor and cpu fan. I dont want to add anything else till I know it's not gonna fry anything.

Next day hooked up Hard Drive when started in the morning and the HDD Led blinked so i guess it's processing. Could this be a heat prob??

2nd try of this day turned on with graphix card it's got display and i can enter BIOS but if i turn it off it continues to not turn on

The first thing you need to do is update the BIOS do it via the recovery method.
