so, i just got my computer working when the rest of my water stuff came in the mail. So it was time to rebuild the pc.
i just finished my 24 hour leaktest, i get my usual giddy feeling of installing the rest of my components and powering on. hurrah no post!
1) i took out everything not necessary to run (extra vid cards, ram, dvd, hdd's {just os disk left})
2) double checked all power connections
3) cleared cmos, took out battery and cleared cmos
4) used 1 stick of ram in every single spot, tried different sticks , so 16 combinations in total were tried with a cmos clear in between each time.
5) all lights are green or off, except the dram light, which is a solid red no matter what. even after trying ram in different slots, and different sticks and trying the memok button.
6) ive tried 8pin power with 4 pin power, with the ez plug. I've tried just the 8 pin, I've tried 4 in the 8, and 4 in the 8, plus the other 4, yes the main 20/24 is plugged in.
I'm just at a loss, my screen is blank, my keyboard and mouse don't light on, nothing. The only thing new in his build other then my water components (no mobo block) is my power supply. But everything else is running and lit up.
chv mobo,

hd 4870x2
