    Custome Build Setup Issue
    « on: January 19, 2011, 12:55:17 AM »
    I don't know if this is the best place to post this but I will give it a shot

    Background: Girlfriend's pc she uses for work crapped out won't turn on. She has been wanting a new one for a while anyway so we said lets build one. Go to fry's electronics and purchase most of our content (scrapped a couple things from last pc like cables/mouse etc) get home spend a few hours piecing it together and can't manage to work out the issue.

    Issue represents itself like this. It will power on and it just doesn't seem to post. I have rechecked most connections (all the important ones) but I don't seem to get a post at all. I don't know if it has anything to do with liquid cooling the way it sounds (not bad just obviously different from fan cooled) but thats probably neither here nor there.

    Specs:
    -870A-G54 MSI- mother board
    -Radeon HD 5830- graphics card
    -AMD Phenom II Black Edition- processor
    -600 Watt power supply
    -Sata 80 GB hard drive (I am using it for testing also have tried a cpl others)
    -DDR3 1600G Dual Channel 4GB Ram (2 sticks 2 gig each)

    Please provide suggestions or if you know what the problem is most likely all help is appreciated

      Are all of the motherboard standoffs in place? Did you apply thermal grease to the cpu?
