CPU: Core i5-3570
Video: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 2GB
RAM: Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
PSU: Raidmax RX-530SS
When I hit the power button, the board lights up, the fans all spin, the LCD on the board shows code 1E (or perhaps IE). Monitor shows No Signal. There are no beeps from the on-board speaker. After about 10 seconds, the system spontaneously restarts. And it keeps going in a continuous loop.
I have tried a different monitor and different video card. No change.
I have tried with various other components unplugged. No change.
I tried moving jumper J1 to pins 2-3 to boot in BIOS config mode. This made a small change; the LCD on the board shows code 31 (which it's supposed to in BIOS config mode), and the system no longer spontaneously restarts. But there is still no signal to the monitor, and there are no beeps from the on-board speaker.
I'm now looking at the possibility of a bad CPU, or an incompatible CPU. Of course, I don;t have any spares lying around to swap out.
I'm at my wit's end! Someone please give me a clue here, before I go completely bonkers.
