New PC issues

[Commander_Z]

I turned it on, the cpu fan starts to spin up, but nothing show up on the screen, the power light on it just flashes.

the steps i've taken so far are

Pulling the GPU out to use onboard video: didnt work, monitor light still flashes
Confirmed VGA work by connecting screen to laptop: my laptop screen was duplicated on the monitor
Pulling RAM to force it to make POST beeps which it did beep


How can i remedy this situation so i can install windows on my PC??

Thanks

 

My system specs are

GTX 660 SC
Gigabyte 78LMT-S2p mobo
AMD FX-6300 CPU
4GB ram
Samsung LS24C300HL/XY 24 inch monitor
Coolermaster 550W PSU
Coolermaster Storm quickfire pro kb
Logitech G500S mouse

make sure the 8pin power cable is pluged in at the top of the motherboard

 

btw WHERE is the light flashing?

Does your system stay on?

Your chip isn't supported by the board, at least not officially. At the very least, you need a BIOS update.

My mobo only has a 4 pin ATX 12v connector in the top left corner

 

 

the light that is flashing is on the screen itself when i have turned it on

 

the system stays on, cpu fan etc spinning up

it may not be official but you should be fine as its the same socket type....thats weird though. 

 

is the 4pin connector plugged in? 

[Commander_Z]

one of the cables from the PSU has to 4 pin connectors on it, I plugged in one of them

you need to get a hold of an AM3 or AM2 chip to perform an update.

Im going to a local PC shop tomorrow to get the BIOS updated

Solved: turns out it had the wrong type of ram in it, got some new stuff in, and all is well
