New build no BIOS screen

[Gregski]

When I power up my new build, I get no video, no beeps from MB. All lights and fans Powered up.

Here is the relevant hardware:

MB Intel BLKD975XBX2KR

CPU Intel E6600

Kingston (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR667D2N5K2/2G

Power Supply CoolerMaster 450W RS-450-ACL

Video Card: EVGA 7950GT

I tried the advice on just powering up these basics on the bench on a box- no difference, so I can rule out the mounting of the board.

I have also checked, removed and reseated the CPU, Video Card and Memory with no change to the problem.

I think I have bad hardware after trying this and reading the other posts, but I am not sure what specific item would be bad that I should replace.

Check that the main ATX and Aux power plug from the PSU are plugged into the motherboard. Also, that the video card has it's power connections from the PSU.

I did miss one of the Power Supply Cables to the MB. I will hook it all up again and see what happens and re-post the results. Thanks.

That board has an 8 pinCPU power plug up by the I/O connecters. If you bought an OEM board (no extra cables) then you may be short a power connection if the PSU doesn't have the 8 pin connector. The molex connector is for use with video card(s) that may not have seperate power connections.
