hey guys,
So I finally ordered all the parts for my mini itx gaming build. Came yesterday.
Gigabyte H67N-USB3-B3
i5 2500k
4GB Crucial DDR3 1333mhz
EVGA 460 SC EE
Today I put it all together, switched it on and... nothing.
The psu and fans spin up for a second, the motherboard leds all light up for a second, the motherboard makes a long (or possibly short I can't decide, maybe half a second) beeping sound and then everything goes off. Then a couple seconds later it does it again and again etc...
The motherboard manual is useless, it has two lines about it which basically say a continuous long beep means gpu not inserted properly and a continous short beep means power error.
I've checked the gpu was seated properly and properly powered to no avail. At this point I have removed the gpu, removed every other onboard connector except the two power connectors (24 pin & 4 pin) and have tried another psu which I know works. Still the same issue. I'm guessing that the motherboard is faulty but I wanted to know if there was anything else I could try before I send it back to scan. (I don't have any way of testing the CPU or RAM unforetunately).
So any suggestions/ideas or should I send it back?
