So I am trying to throw together some old parts for a friend, but cant seem to boot. The parts are:

 

Nvidia Titan Z
MS-7543 Motherboard (some dell mobo, has no video output so its kinda weird)

i7-980X

and an ssd, some ram and a psu that I know for a fact work.

 

When I boot, all the fans turn on and all the mobo lights are on, indicating that it should be working, but I get No Signal on my monitor.

Have tested different cables, reseated the ram, gpu and cpu. I also saw that this mobo has no UEFI BIOS.

 

Could anyone tell me what that means?

Does anyone know anything about this particular mobo?

Anyone have any ideas what else I could try?

 

Thanks for any help.

Do you know if the board even supports a 980x? If it does then most likely it's the titan z not being liked. Got an older card to test it with? Does the titan work?

It should support the 980x. Yeah thought of that but have nothing else to test with sadly.

No beeps. I tried booting with 1 ram stick instead of 3 once, just to see if that would work. Got beeps there but filling all the ram slots fixed it. I also looked up dells beep error codes, and the beeps I was getting with only 1 slot filled were ram beeps. So yes but no.

spray it with contact cleaner, the slot might be dirty.
