first custom build computer! need help...

Use normal old dvi cable to display instead of hdmi if you didn't. You sd see at least smthng
there, otherwise check with old graphics card. Hdmi needs drivers and can be used after they are installed. Is there anything between processor and mobo, ie. thermal grease. Windows will need drivers for new hw, so sd be connected to net.

I had similar problem with new Ati system, after cable change I could see error message from mobo on screen: processor overheated. Standard Intel was not enough. More efficient propeller and game started.

Thank you everyone for the help and support. I've basically tried every method znd tips u guys gave me... Still this won't show me any pic. I also took it to repair shop today and the try his psu/ graphic card and still nothin. We even reset the bios... So the thing left to check is motherboard and processor? How does one check if motherboard or psu is goving trouble, because cpu fan spin and the mboard lights up.

If the motherboard has no debug output there's no way to find out what's wrong with it. Might be RAM, CPU or the board itself

Funny if they cannot find the problem in repair shop. Same words than Coldfire said.
Good sign if there are lights anyway. Memories you can check also so that you put
only one stick in closest to processor and try. Or if you have other memory, try with them.
Google shows that this mobo has had memory problems. I still doubt
the processor goes cooking in 1 second and hangs but cannot be sure of course.
They don't easily break today though. One way to try is turn cpu fun round
blowing other direction. 500 W hmm maybe enough. I would doubt that also.
You have maybe old pwr supply left, I would use temporarily both of them
to check if 500W is enough. But if you are unsure how, forget my words.
Good repair shop finds the problem quickly. Good luck.

yeah i got a msi 970a-g45 motherboard and a evga gtx 550ti video card. I just called msi and they told me to try a stronger power supply?

[Coldfire]

MSI support is stupid. A PSU with 350W would probably be enough.

If you tried a different RAM and it didn't help then have them replace the board.
