Damit
Well, finally got my backordered video cards in, then installed them in the computer. I double checked everything (connections, etc), put it all together and closed it up. Hooked up mouse, keyboard and monitor and plugged it all in.
Turn it on and all I get is one blue light come on inside the case on the motherboard. Hit the on button on the case and an orange light comes on next to the blue light. Absolutely no other activity on the board, fans, sounds, power supply fans etc. I get nothing on the LED Post Codes indicator (it doesn't display anything)
Open it all up, triple check all my connections etc, repeat process above four times, no luck.
Am I missing something or is it possible something is messed up (bad part) or both? Any suggestions are welcome...
PS: This is my first build from scratch.
