I received all my parts from newegg. Here is my intended build:
Athlon x3 720
Gigabyte MA785G
750 Watt PS (Corshair)
140 Gbyte Raptor 10,000 RPM
640 Gbyte WD 7,200 RPM
Radeon 4890 Series 1 GB VC
8 Gigabytes Mushkin 1600 MHZ Ram
Plextor BR-Reader DVD-RW/DVD/CD-RW/CD
Gamer X-Fi SB card
Okay here is the deal. Everything was going fine I decided to use my stock cooler for the CPU. The computer was built, I started out simple got my 140 GB HD installed and my optical drive and the VideoCard. I went through the bios and made my optical drive the primary startup drive. I installed windows and had everything setup software side. After that I went back into the bios and made my HD the primary boot device changed a couple settings:
A) I upped the multiplier on the CPU to x15 making it 3 Ghz, upped from 2.8 Ghz.
B) I upped the multiplier on my ram to x8 making it 1600 Mhz. Which the board is perectly capable of.
C) I chose to backup my Bios flash to the HD.
D) I turned on HDD Smartdrive, then chose to turn it off later
I turned the computer off, connected my other HD and began wire management. Everything was going well.
I turned the computer on and it froze at the computer startup screen, not windows. Resetted the computer, no picture... restart again... I get a screen and turn off HDD Smartdrive. F10, save... okay I figure everything is fine. Well to my misfortune it won't display now...
nor do I get power to the keyboard or mouse...
all the fans are working... the HDD's are working, I can hear their fans... the LED on the sound card lights up... still no display
My diagnoses is I need to reset the bios.... what's your opinion, and how can I help it?
