Hi everyone,
Ok, I'm totally stumped now...
Just built my new desktop and I was at the point of installing the OS, when I got the "DVD driver missing" error and I tried to shut down.....didn't work, so I swtiched it off at the PSU.
Since then, I cannot get the desktop to display again!! (turns on, but no display)
There is no onboard graphics, so I have to rely on the GPU....connected to a 22" Samsung monitor via DVI.
Breadboarded, and same situation. In addition, I couldn't turn it off (via screwdriver) and again had to turn the PSU off.
Specs:
Athlon X4 860k
Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-WIFI Mobo
16GB RipjawsX
HIS Radeon R9 280 IceQ OC 3GB
Case, Thermaltake Core V21
750 Corsair modular PSU
Any thoughts????
One point, the risers are bent in the case itself, so there are no "standoffs" installed.
I don't want to reset CMOS, as I understand this would revert the BIOS back to original. I can't do that as without the flashed BIOS (I got at Memory Express), the Mobo won't support my CPU.
I'm so confused. I would understand if nothing had displayed initially, but to get as far as ready to install the OS for an issue to arrise, I'm at a total loss.
I'd appreciate any help/suggestions.
