Hi all, I'm in the middle of my first build and have ran into some trouble. I'll list all of my components first.
ASUS P8Z68-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Intel Core i3-2120 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I32120
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-650 650W Continuous @40°C, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Modular Design, Single +12V Rail, ATX12V v2.31/EPS12V v2.92, SLI Ready, CrossFire Ready, Active-PFC Power Supply
Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top 140mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, option Fans-2x Side 120mm Fan
Ok so, I have everything connected right and it still doesn't boot up. I got one sign of life one time but since then, I got squat.
As of now, my motherboard lights up green and it also has a red led turned on next to the "tpu" switch...even when it's switched off.
I called asus and the guy said something about my bios on the motherboard not being compatable with my processor. But no fans are spinning and I'm not getting any response other than those two lights. My guess would be either a faulty (or wrong) motherboard,even though it's lga1155, or a bad power supply.
If anyone has any advice, it will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you in advance
