Cables checked, RAM reseated in different slot, GPU reseated in different slot and then removed (using CPU graphics).

 

Reseating CPU ATM.

Does he have a GPU installed on that mobo? Make sure he's using the GPU's outputs and not the mobo's.

Yes, we tried that but since it's not working we are using integrated for the time being, to make sure.

For real though, PSU switch is easy to forget. I've two PSUs - one for PC and other for fans - and sometimes i wonder why i'm getting high idle and crashing in games. 

 

Turns out PSU for fans wasn't on. 

 

Listen for any beep codes from the internal speaker and use the manual to figure out that they are. beep codes and a debug LED (if present ) are great for error solving. Interesting to see that you've a DDR3 board and a 6600...

oh that part is different, he uses DDR4 and 6600k.

 

No internal speaker or debug LED present

 

PSU fan switch has 1 of 2 options, being: 1. Fan on during intensive use OR 2. Fan constantly on (so nothing wrong here)

There is only 1 stick, we tried slot 1 and are now using slot 2.

 

Reccomended should be slot 1 right?

Sorry to get slightly off-topic but how do you have 2 PSUs in your computer?

There's one in my PC and one near my external radiator for fans. Mostly because it was sitting around.

If it wouldn't be too much trouble could you pm me a picture of that?  I'm having trouble picturing that sorry.  I figure this way I won't distract from this topic too much.
