So I recently bought some new parts
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black
Gigabyte MA78LM-S2H
Corsair 4GB DDR2 Kit
and a western digital 650 GB HDD.
I used my old case with 2 working dvd drives and two different 430/450 PSUs. I tried doing a benchmark test by putting the motherboard on a cardboard box and only plugging in the motherboard, the hard drive, graphics card (Geforce 7600 GS), fans, and the DVD drives and the power along with keyboard and mouse. Turned on the power and the fans began to spin but the mouse/keyboard had no power and the monitor stayed blank. No postup. I tried to also put it into the case and booting but same results as well. So I decided to only put 1 stick of ram without graphics card (the mobo has integrated video) and dvd drives. Still no results. After that I tried the BARE minimum with only the processor mouse keyboard and no ram. no postup no beeps.
How else should I try to test the problem? Is this a motherboard failure? if it is I will swap and re-try.
