Built new machine, HAF 932 case, Gigabyte EX58-DS4 mobo, core i7 920 Cpu, Patriot 12800 (1600Mhz) 3x2Gb (6Gb kit) memory, Corsair 1000 Modular PSU, Samsung 2433BW monitor 1920 x 1200 resolution, 300 Gb Velociraptor x1 (will have OS on), 1Tb Seagate HDD x1, Fan controller (x6 Fans) & ASUS EAH 4870 Video Card, got Vista Home premium OEM x64 bit OS.
Tried to Start, Fans all ran (4x Case, 2x ASUS EAH 4870 with Noctua Cooler, 2x CPU with Noctua Cooler (these 2 straight from mobo)).
Get nothing for 15 seconds, then shrill beeps for a couple of seconds, then goes quiet for 10 secs, then shrill beeps for a couple of seconds again ETC, ETC.
Monitor shows check cable signal.
Pulled out Vid card, seems all OK, 2x PciE power leads in blocks at back, fans both working. Have no idea now, and don't have another pcie card to use as a test, older comp is AGP only, and have noone to borrow one from to test. Might have to buy cheap Pcie vid on saturday.
Any ideas, please?
