So Yeah I builed an exterior test build, and I'm now powering up the motherboard. Now there are no sound produced, only a red led a bit to the right of the second PCIE X16 slot. Also, I've got my graphic card in but I didn't plug the DVI cable into it,so the DVI is plugged into the mobo. PICS

Ok, I see whats going on. You aren't using a DVI cable, you are using a VGA cable. Since you have a GPU plugged in, it disables your motherboard video ports. Either remove the video card or use a output on your video card.

Well, in the world of tech, its kill or be killed. You killed it.

 

Joking. As mentioned above, the motherboard is switching onboard GFX off because it sees a GPU. Throw away your VGA cable, get a DVI cable and a monitor with DVI, and plug them into the videocard.

Crap, I don't have a DVI cable, but since thats the only red LED does that means my GPU is fine?

 

You got me good thought, was spooked for a moment there

I'm fairly certain that the LED is just to tell you that the board is receiving power. Most ASUS boards do this.

Can confirm, my P8-Z77-VLX does this.

Well I've got it to post, which is quite a relief. I've got an SSD plugged in do, so PICS ause it's not detected. I think the triple ended cable is a problem, but I also believe I might be wrong.

The SSD should be plugged in where it says OS Drive. Boot into your BIOS and see if the SSD is detected. If it is, then install windows!

YAY got the BIOS to show up!

Yes, enable XMP. That's because the highest clock that your CPU's memory controller can do without "overclocking" is 2133. Once you enable XMP, it should set itself to 3200.
