sunday53 5 Report post Posted December 12, 2014 hello. i just bought a second hand evga mb [as above]. built up the system as such. i didn't put any devices attached to mb, only the grafix card[test purposes]. this system uses a passive heatsink, no fan on the cpu cooler. the build went reaonably well. however, when attempts are made to boot[many of these-loop, loop ], nada. the fan on grafix card[a single] does a song 'n dance but, can't even get to post. after about a sec, the sys shuts down. I have tried alot of things to sort this with no joy, not close even---CLR CMOS, changed polarity of fr. panel[case] cable/wire interface connectors, changed out memory, the psu is sufficiently powered to manage the board. the cables are all seated and connected correctly[24 pin, 8 pin and additional molex[4 pin for more grafix power]. the fact that the board starts up as such is keeping me interested but, not much else is in this case . am getting to the place where i want to get rid of it now...nearly have enuff. ...it keeps doing same thing, jumps into it's boot but, fails to take off. ideas, please :( ( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
