Problems with newly assembled PC
Hallo.
I have just recently bought parts for my new computer, but sadly there is a problem. When I assembled the computer and powered it up bios just woudn’t load up.
The power is ok (550W) (the fans on graphic card and on the processor are running) and I just don’t know what it could be wrong.

The components are:
- Radeon HD 6850 (link: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3614#ov)
- Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3(link: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3901#ov)
- AMD FX-4100 (link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103996)
- Corsair Vengeance 2x4 GB 1600 MHz (link: http://www.corsair.com/memory-by-pro...2a2000c10.html)
- ssd crucial m4 64gb (link: http://www.crucial.com/store/partspe...LE=CT064M4SSD2)

When i saw that there is zero responce (on screen the's a message that there is no signal). I also tried with just ram stick (tried tothe of them) in different slots.
I would greatly apreciate your response.

Regards

I am going to suggest a different power supply. What Manufacturer and Model Power supply do you have? You have a fairly power hungry system there and a 550 watt power supply would at best be marginal, and if it is not a quality manufacturer, may actually not provide sufficient power to start your system up.

Hey!
Thank you for the response.
Yes I have another video card and the fist thing is that I'm going to test the components on my second pc (same chipset).
The power suplly is from a not well known manufacturer (i had it from my previous pc and i decited to give it a try). First I'll try to switch the power supply and then to test the individual components if it still won't start.
If any of you has any other ideas I would apreciate the help
Regards

dustyjay's recommendation is valid. There are a number of calculators on the web i.e.
http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell...alc/index.html
Usually go for about 100 watts over recommendation.
Seasonic and corsair make quality PSU's.
