ok so I'm 17 I don't know a whole lot about trouble shooting. On Amazon day(yeah remember that) I bought all the necessary parts to build a computer. I bought:
a MSI 970 ATX motherboard
A MSI R9 380 2G (i know its meh)
A refurbished EVGA 430W 80+ power supply (Yes i know its the wrong area to skimp out on but it has a 3 year warranty )
a FX-6300
16GB of corsair vengeance 1600 mhz DDR3 RAM
a kingston 120GB SSD
a 500GB samsung HDD
a 120mm aio coolermaster water cooler
and a bunch of fans
when it all arrived i built the system in the case without testing it for a post. then it didn't post. so eventually i sent back the motherboard to newegg and waited for the new one to arrive and they sent back the old board saying i forgot the sata cables and the back plate. so I put it all back in the box and sent it again and then when the new mother board came in i built the system on the mother board box with the stock cooler and still no post i then went to my high schools A+ room and grabbed an old ATI graphics card and went home. with the "new" card i built the system again and a post finally so i sent back the graphics card this time with MSI's RMA team and waited for the card. when it came in the mail (today) I built the system outside the case again just see if it would post before i built the system outright..... no post...The CPU heat sink is warm to lukewarm to the touch while the graphics card and ram are not and i have run the system in single channel ram mode with both sticks separately and still no post i'm using a DVI out put to my monitor witch is a 1080p DVI or VGA input only monitor from acer it has worked with both inputs before this and i'm typing this on the monitor with a VGA connection off my lap top please help me and if you live in the dame county area i would love to meet if you think you have something physical that could help me. please man i just wanna play some games
