Heeey Guys! I am just starting a new rig but i'm finding problems from the start. Let me just start with the configuration i'm running:
CPU: I5-4690k on stack heat sink Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII HERO Ram: 8GB Corsair vengeance SSD: samsung 840 pro 256 gb PSU: corsair RM550 All in a corsair 750D I do not have a GPU for the meanwhile but i have in mind to buy a asus 780 poseidon or a matrix 780 ti so that is why i have a 550W power supply, this i hope will be just the beginning. Bat back to my problem, i am not new in the world of pc and rigs but i am no expert, so i'll just tell you guys what my problem is and what i did to try and solve it but couldn't. Problem: Today my last to components where shipped to me, CPU and Motherboard. I completed the build and when i was finished i tryed to boot the system. This is what happend: as soon as I switched on the PSU the lights on the Maximus VII Hero where one. i tried to switch on the pc connected to a monitor but the stack heat sink moved just a millimeter and the Q-Codes LEDs showed 00 a split of a second. But no monitor signal it did not boot. What i did to try and solve the problem: First checked on the manual what 00 Q-Code meant and it only meant "Not Used" and i'm still like "Not used what?"
Checked if the stack cooler was well positioned
Checked the power connectors CPU 8pin and the 24pin on the motherboard
Checked the memories Checked by clearing the CMOS End result still nothing i have the same problem, i do not know witch bios version i'm running but if the system is not booting i cant change it. and the motherboard just arrived. I hope i gave you enough information please help me i really hope is something stupid.
Thanks a lot in advance. Looking forward for all your replays. PS: There are No broken pins
