The set up you have should work fine out the box, systems like that are sold as pre built.
I stand by the faulty motherboard or CPU.

Yeah I'm with Dougal. Lift the lever on the heatsink and gently prise it off. Sorry if it's a stupid quiestion, but you did put thermal paste on didn't you?
i just wish i could get the heatsink off to check the CPU.
Also, i'm sure it's not the Graphics Card or monitor, because the monitor detects the card when the plug is inserted, & asks me to check the connection when it's not connected.
yeah, it had a thermal pad with paste already onQuote:
