re: Building my first PC - Technical Issue UPDATE page 2

OK. Let's go back to the basics.

Your motherboard has two connections for power. Are you sure you've plugged into both connections.

You say you get a splash screen then lose signal? Then your computer isn't passing POST (power on self test). The RAM suggestion above is a good one. Make sure the RAM is inserted into the correct slots. There are 4 slots on your card. If you don't put the RAM in the correct slots you won't pass POST. You should be using slots DDR3_2 and DDR3_4 per the manual.

Whenever you have a POST problem you need to take out components and start with a bare bones system. Put one RAM module into DDR3_2. Disconnect the optical drive. Get the computer to POST then add components until you find the problem.

You need to list the exact model number of your GPU. XFX has about a dozen different models of that GPU.

Good luck.
