I just build my first pc, but it won't post. When I turn on the PC everything starts working. The CPU fan start spinning, the graphics card fan also start spinning. I already tried switching the ram and nothing changes. The display doesn't show anything and there aren't any beeping from the speaker.

My part list is:

Mobo: gigabyte b450m ds3h

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600

CPU cooler: Thermaltake UX100

GPU: msi aero 1070 8gb oc

Power supply: CORSAIR CV Series CV550

SSD: WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD

What about your RAM ?

Please quote or tag me @Void Master,so i can see your reply.

 

Everyone was a noob at the beginning, don't be discouraged by toxic trolls even if u lose 15 times in a row. Keep training and pushing yourself further and further, so u can show those sorry lots how it's done !

Be a supportive player, and make sure to reflect a good image of the game community you are a part of. 

Don't kick a player unless they willingly want to ruin your experience.

We are the gamer community, we should take care of each other !

Won't POST as you don't see the Gigabyte logo screen?

Make sure you plug the monitor into the back of the graphics card, and NOT the back of the motherboard.

That GTX 1070 also REQUIRES a PCI-E 8-pin power cable, so make sure that is properly connected.

@-rascal- Yes, nothing happens on the screen. I tried plugin the monitor in both and nothing happens. The power cable on the graphics card it's connected. The graphics card fan starts spinning when I turn on the PC.

I know I had to verify my CPU when something similar happened. You might wanna make sure your other components are well seated. I think in my case, the PC didn't turn on at all when I had to re-seat the CPU.

I already checked, I basically disassembled and put it together twice already and nothing changes

This may sound dumb, but are you sure the video cable works? If you have an hdmi cable laying around somewhere, try that. Or the monitor might be bad as well. You may wanna try a different pci slot for the card, just in case.

Both of them work, I have used them with a ps4
