Hey all
been lurking for a while, this place is a great sff resource.
I'm wanting to put together an sff itx build, but I'm having trouble with it not turning on, or giving a post/display to a monitor at all. Fairly frustrating!
I've tried over the weekend to narrow down what may be wrong - put it on an antistatic sheet, then only plugged in the bare minimum, which is:
i7 875k
Silverstone SG05/w 300w SFX psu (stock)
1x 2gig DDR3 ram (tried in different slot as well as different combinations with two sticks in etc)
AXP-140 Heatsink and fan.
Amaze 5770 Graphics Card.
Here is a brief clip to show the rebooting loop it gets into:

Some other photos of the build taken earlier:

Some other things i've attempted:
- Plugging in a Nvidia 7800gtx (still reboots)
- Taking the backplate off for the rear of the motherboard that the axp 140 normally uses incase it was shorting something (no difference)
So my question is, what else can I try?
