I just Built my new PC with a Gigabye G8-8N-SLI-Pro MOBO, after plugging it all in it starts for a sec then reboots iself and all i can get in a black screen no POST, the monitor acts as if its sleeping...i had this problem with another PC prior to this after a power outage...could my surge protector be fryed, or did i just get a bad mobo?

There is a good chance everything will work fine if it's installed properly and don't short out.Go back to response 3 in this post.Go to that site and do a good read.Good Luck!!I use flat rubber washers on each screw hole on the motherboard when I install it to keep from shorting out on the case.You'll find them at a hardware store,maybe Home depot.
