Pics of my new build (+ a problem)

[shabz]

Never built a PC before so be nice

Recieved all parts today, got all components in place and wired up without too much fuss...

I went to switch the power on, for the first time, and I get nothing on the screen Here's what I get...

- All 4 fans (CPU, GPU, PSU, Case) are spinning fine

- Power is getting to the monitor as the light to signal it's on, is on

- Some kind of signal is getting to the monitor, because when I pull the monitor cable out from the back, it says Check Signal on the monitor

- LEDs on graphics card and motherboard light up, so power is getting to them (I did plug the PCI power 2x6pin from the PSU to the graphics card)

...but nothing on the screen...

what to do?? feel a bit lost

Place monitor cable in other socket,see what happens then.

Have you got the 4/8 pin CPU power connector plugged in?

 

[shabz]

it was the 4-pin CPU power!!! lol, i was stumped for a good hour aswell

more pics/spec/tests soon

thank uuuuuuu

does every n00b miss the 4-pin or something? lol

No prob mate, not everyone misses it, but a lot of people. It's usually the first thing I point out as a few of my mates who have built rigs have missed it out and asked me to take a look for them.

Just glad it's sorted

Can easierly be done. I do it sometimes still when rebuilding my pcs.
