First, I'm sorry, I do not know where to post this... so I posted here. Please move if you feel necessary.
I have been battling my build for a week now, with now avail. I never had a build like this before. Any help is appreciated.
Round 1
I shut off/unplug computer to clean the space behind it. Try to turn it back on, and it will not POST. Everything powers on (fans, lights, hard drive spins) I get a brief error message, don't remember the exact works.. but says something like "Boot disk failure, insert system disk." After restarting few times, screen goes blank. I clear CMOS and change to a new battery. No POST.
Round 2
System powers up like before but no graphics, no POST. Changed to an older, known functioning graphics card, same results. RMA'd PSU, thinking that was the culprit. Install new PSU, powers up, but still no POST. Changed to a known working hard drive, same problems. Swapped RAM w/ known working modules, same problems. (the "known functioning" parts are working on my other computer).
Round 3
Bought new mobo (Asus P5E) and CPU (Intel Q9650). Same problems. Still will not POST.
What any next steps? I am sure every component is in working condition, as many new parts as well. The only thing that is "old" is the case (Antec 900). Could that even be an issue?
