[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 919275, member: 75318"] Hi Guys, I am just putting together my dedicated TV Server, and I really am struggling to get this thing even booting up. :cry: I have the following: [LIST] [*]Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H motherboard [*]AMD Phenom II x6 [*]16Gb (4x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RAM [*]1 x 60Gb SSD [*]1 x 750W OCZ ZS series PSU [/LIST] I cannot get a boot screen appearing. My first thought was that the MoBo was set for a PCIe GFX card instead of using the onboard GFX, so I reset the board to factory defaults. Still no boot screen. I have tried all of the 4 RAM sticks in the first slot and still nothing. I have tried the GFX card from my lounge HTPC and still nothing on screen. There is power to the MoBo as the CPU fan runs and the PCIe GFX cards fan powers up... I am now at a loss what to do, with the exception of sending the MoBo back as faulty. The processor is listed as being supported on the Gigabyte website. Any ideas anybody... I'm wanting to get this up and running :( [/QUOTE]
