I posted this at Anandtech - thought I would try here too in case somone has a solution. I finally have my computer together and running; And now running cool with a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus cooler installed (dropped my temps from 80-90 degrress C under Prime 95 full load to 45 degrees, but I digress).
Here is my setup:
GABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3 MB
Intel 2500k CPU
1 TB WD SATA III Hard Drive
Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory
OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W Modular Power Supply (OCZ500MXSP)
Random DVD-RW-DL
Running 5 Case Fans (3 on the case and 2 on the CPU Cooler)
HIS Raedon HD 5770 Video Card
As noted above, I finally got it running cool last night and went to add my video card to the system. I had been just using the onboard GPU through the HDMI connection until I could get the right CPU Cooler and get temps I thought were okay even without overclocking. I turned it off, added the card, connected the DVI connection to it (HDMI unpluged) and turned it on and - NOTHING on the video. Computer beeps, loads windows (you hear it load), is apparently running, but no video. Video Card has power as the fan was turning. It works in my old system. I turned it off, moved back to the built in HDMI connection - and now no video from it either. Shut down, took out the 5770 video card, turned it on and had picture. I went into BIOS and found a setting for selecting first GPU to boot and selected PCIe 16x. Put card back in. Again no picture. But then, to get back to any video with the built in GPU through the HDMI I had to reset the MB....I have tried to make sure the card is well sseated, doing this now 4-5 times with no picture frm card. Have tried card in the x8 PCIe Slot too.
What am I doing wrong or missing on this board ?
