Ok now I'm not saying this is it, since it's obvious but did you connect both power connectors to the motherboard? ( I assume you did ) On modern mother boards you will have a normal ATX power connection, but to activate the PCIX Bus you need the ATX-12v connection plugged in. Also note that only modern PSU's have the ATX-v12 connector. I have verified that your motherboard needs both connections http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4396#ov
Now again I assumed you did that, but if you have not, it would explain what is happening. If it's not that, I'm out of ideas, it should get you at-least the logo and option for bios On Wed, Oct 9, 2013 at 5:33 PM, Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > ** > > On Tuesday, October 08, 2013 11:37:18 AM Joseph Apuzzo wrote: > > > > I have confidence that if you re-wire it, check the CPU and memory are > correctly connected, you will get results. > > Hopefully the ones you are after, thus please report back > > =================================== > > > > My reply: (Chris, my Kmail settings have all the items you specified) > > > > > > Joe, you pinpointed one problem.
