Hi, I recently bought a new mobo, cpu, display, ram, and a case. I am using an old psu and HDD along with trying to install windows 7 on it. I got all the parts in and assembled everything just fine, plugged it in and it ran bios with no issue. I put the driver disc for the mobo in and it attempted to boot off of it. The version on win 7 is digital so I couldnt get it to read it on my external drive. I attempted to boot from the drive out of my old PC and it used the recovery partition to install windows vista. It failed during the install twice. Then it wouldnt send a signal to the monitor. I cant get any signal to the monitor still. when I power up it does post but then nothing else. I tried to reset the CMOS, hold the power button for 30 seconds without it being plugged in, and removed the button battery. I also double checked that everything was seated well, removed everything and put it back thinking it was shorted by something on the back of the mobo. I do not know what else to try.
Here is a list of what is new:
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboard
ASUS HD7770-2GD5
AMD 6-core FX-6300 3.5G
Crucial RAM 2x8G BLS2K8G3D169DS3 R
Here is what I had that was used:
350W PSU
500GB WD HDD
