I recently got a new system without a video card. I slapped my GF 6800GT in there right away, powered it on, and ... nothing. Well, not nothing -- the fans and HDs spooled up, and the front green LED (power) turned on, and the red one was blinking slowly. I wasn't sure if the video cables were loose, or the video card wasn't in tightly, so I fiddled around with things and tried again. A few attempts later, everything came on, so I installed windows and whatever. The next day, I went to turn it on in the AM, and the same thing happened. I turned it off (holding down the soft power switch) and back on, and it powered up fine. Same problem this morning.
When it boots up successfully, a message from the BIOS mentions something about disabling my OC settings (of which I've set none aside from setting my RAM timings from AUTO to explicitly what the spd timings are) and booting in "Safe Mode".
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Here's the system breakdown:
480W Thermaltake PS
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
Corsair 3200 DDR400 twinX 2x512MB
(which I read does not work with this board, but I have no problems other than the first power on)
Athlon64 3500+ (939 pin, 130nm)
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
SATA HD, DVD*RW
Any theories?
