Before i start, i have tried searching EVERYWHERE for a solution. Nothing has worked. Some people have extremely similar issues to what i am having e.g
First of all, here are my exact hardware specs. I'll elaborate on what i've tried afterwards.
Intel Core i7 960
Thermaltake ToughPower XT 875W
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Motherboard Rev2
Lite-On iHBS212 12x Blu-Ray Disc Writer with LightScribe
Corsair CMP12GX3M3A1600C9 12GB (3x4GB) Dominator
Seagate Barracuda 500GB ST3500413AS
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB Super Overclock.
WELL...
As soon as i press power, it powers up but i dont get any display on my monitor (Screen works, tried it on my laptop before).
Weird thing is, i had to remove the 12v 8pin ATX cable (located top left of CPU) because when i had it plugged in, i would power on the system and it would reset every 2 or so seconds. Once i removed it, it no longer kept restarting. Now when i switch on it just hangs. Ive tried both PCIx16 slots, no avail. Every fan works. I plugged in a speaker but there is nothing to indicate a hadware failure (bleeps). I have not installed an OS yet (intend to install 64bit win7 pro but obviously cant). I have no USB plugged in, only the HD (Sata3) and i cant see that being an issue although here is where i think my issue may. My PHASE LED is showing (2 green, 2 yellow, 2 red) and my NB PHASE LED [or DDR Voltage] which shows (2 green, 2 yellow). So i'm guessing an overvoltage issue (since they are overvoltage led's)?
I only have 1 DDR3 in the 3_3 slot (tried 3_1 slot).
All screws have been fastend in the mobo in the right places, i dont believe its an earthing issue...
This is not my first build, im not a techy by any standard (actually landscaper) but i've utterly hit a brick-f'n-wall.
If you have any more questions/answers (i think i've covered everything) please say so.
as you can see in this photo is where the LED's are lit up.
