Wont boot!!!! GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING

[Christopher Trom]

Here is my build

MSI GeForce RTX 2070 DirectX 12 RTX 2070 ARMOR 8G OCV1 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

 

AMD RYZEN 5 2600X 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.2 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 95W YD260XBCAFBOX Desktop Processor

 

GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING AM4 AMD X470 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

 

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 DRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model CMW16GX4M2C3000C15

 

I can't get this build to boot. With everything connected the mobo leds flash the CPU, DRAM, VGA lights. When i bring it to bare bones cpu, and 1 ram stick using on board graphics themobo leds hold on the vga light. No matter what i get no picture and no bios menu. Please any suggestions would really help. This is my first build and i have no spare parts to test with.

There are no onboard graphics on CPUs other than the G series.

yea pls connect the monitor to your gpu not to the motherboard !!!

And if you fixed it pls mark as solved with KarathKasun's Answer

 

If not we move on with some pictures of your build and how you connected everything else

so it doesnt work when you use a CPU without a GPU in it. I believe the user manual has clarified this.

The leds just keep repeating this cycle.

That LED means its failing its pre-POST VGA check. Can you verify the power connections to the GFX card are plugged in in all spots? I feel as though I see a connector that isn't plugged in that looks like a potential PCI Power Connector.

IF of course you have a modular or Semi-modular PSU

 

Furthermore, could you provide a picture of the whole Case top down like the other two? just a little more zoomed out. And maybe one of the PSU? 
Also what model PSU do you have?

I cant see it completly but did you connected 2x 8 pin pci e connectors to your rtx ? If not thats the problem

It only has space for a 6 and an 8

[Johnny Relentless]

And there is no way you you switched pci e with the cpu power cable ?

Normaly that should not work but iam out of ideas...

[Johnny Relentless]

Uhhhh do you maybe got an bios switch on that gpu ??? 

[Christopher Trom]

I GOT THE BIOS TO BOOT!!!! On my pcu there is a small switch that has 2 setting 230 and 115. I changed it from 230 to 115 and it booted.

[Johnny Relentless]

Wooooop so all working now ? Pls mark as solved

Now i understand it but never heard of a Psu that could do that Xd

Apevia is foreign, made for international and US standards. Most times when they're made foreign and shipped to US the companies have a 120v option and a 240v option and they just send the 120v one (115v,230v or 120v,240v)

REPLACE YOUR PSU.  Not only are Apevia units known to fail taking the WHOLE system with it, having that switch in the wrong position has likely damaged capacitors in the PSU.

That switch changes the input voltage for 110 or 230 countries.  The fact that the PSU has one and is not auto sensing means that it is at least a 15 year old design.  And it absolutely is not a 900w unit, Think more like 500w.
