Hi everyone.

I've bought the following hardware to make my own htpc.

2x2gb OCZ 1600mhz ram
AMD a65400k
PicoPsu power supply (150w)
FM2-A75IA-E53 motherboard
60gb ssd
m350 case (had to cut and extend the led/power switch cables since they were 2cm short!)

The problem is the following.

I've placed everything into the case, connected the ssd, and power pins, etc.

When I plug the machine, the CPU fan comes into life, as well as the blue lights from the led case. So does the hard drive (I've tested this with a hdd)

However when I enter my HDMI cable to start Installing windows and everything, there's no signal! Scren is black and the no signal message pops up

Everything is running as soon as I plug the connector to the PC, hard drive, cpu fan, (even the apu, since it heat starts coming from it). (Without pressing the on/off switch)

Any ideas?
Am I overlooking something?
Thanks!

Wireing was for the led light and power switch!

Led light is on, switch button didn't even need to press it since everything starts running as soon as I plug the PC!

Make sure the power switch on your pc is working correctly and is connected to the right pins on your motherboard I don't think it should start up right away.

Yes but if the power switch is always trying to turn on the computer that could affect the hdmi. Did you try a VGA or Dvi cable on a monitor to check if it is your cable or video card?

Just bought a new ram stick.
That did the trick.
Cheers!
