Hello everyone. This pc is my first build. I am having trouble getting to a POST screen. Here are my specs:
ASUS Socket AM3/AMD 890FX/CrossFireX/SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0/A and GbE/ATX Motherboard Crosshair IV Formula
AMD FX-8150 FX 8-Core Black Edition Processor Socket AM3+ - FD8150FRGUBOX
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W ATX 12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply - CMPSU-750TXV2
Corsair Hydro Series H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CWCH80)
Western Digital Caviar Green 2 TB Desktop Hard Drive WD20EARX
Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7970 OC 3GB GDDR5 DVI-I/HDMI/2x Mini-Displayport PCI-E 3.0 Graphics Card GV-R797OC-3GD
G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1333MHz (PC3-10666) 240-Pin. Desktop Memory F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Full Tower Case with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 (RC-932-KKN5-GP)
So what happens is, I press the power button on the case and the red cpu light stays a solid red color (the light by the 24 pin connecter). This indicates that it is a cpu problem from what I understand. The fans spin, video card spins, I don't have the hard drive hooked up at the moment or the optical. I'm not really sure what else to do. Tomorrow I will try refitting my cpu and see what happens. I've also read somewhere that the bios has to be updated or something if my cpu doesn't match with it initially? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
