so I've had my FX 8350 and m5a97 Le r2.0 for a while and i got my ram in the mail today so naturally i want to use them. once i disconnected everything like my gpu, psu, 2 hdds, WiFi card, mouse, keyboard, and monitor. everything seemed to work perfectly like it should except there was absolutely no video. i tried using both pcie slots and both dvi ports on my gpu. i tried unplugging my hard drives and the wifi card and also switching the 4 pin power connector for the mobo. i tried all but the last ram slot. i do not have a case so my motherboard is sitting on a book. after a while i gave up and put together my old build which is what i am using now. also when i first set up my computer when i moved into my then new house i had this same problem for a while. i think it was something like 2 or so weeks until for seemingly no reason my computer booted up. well i wouldn't say no reason i blew on all the pcie slots power connectors etc, just because.
