Hi, I tried with a different power supply and all worked fine. After installing windows, I switched back to the old power supply. It works now. Not sure what the problem was initially.

I have a feeling that the graphics card wasn't sitting in the slot properly.

Hi Guys,

I am building my rig with 5 Sapphire 7950's, AMD Sempron Processor on Gigabyte 970A-DS3P. I installed only 1 GPU to start with and using a 750w power supply. When I start the machine by shorting the power pins, it starts and all fans start fine. But nothing comes up on the display. I connected a system speaker, but it doesn't produce any beeps.

Any one else experienced this? Would you help me troubleshoot the issue?

I tried swapping RAM to different slots, trying different GPU's, Clearing CMOS etc. But nothing makes a difference.

I got an RMA for returning CPU and motherboard, but can you suggest if there is something else I can try before returning.


I got the same problem with a Motherboard of a friend from my. Take the CPU away from the CPU-Socket and show to bent Pins. Take a magnifying glass for looking the bent Pins. If you have bent Pins on the CPU-Socket, try it to made it straight. I have used a needle to turn the bent Pins to the right position. Be very carefully, if you do that!.

OK, i take a look which Motherboard you have and see a CPU-Socket where must the CPU have the Pins. Maybe any Pins from the CPU are bent!

Be carefully if you put the CPU into the CPU-Socket!
