hi i have a problem with a computer that i am building for my sister the computer that im building for her is a frankenputer( parts i had laying around)

the problem i have is that i cant get it to post i have tried the tips in the above link and i have also tried the NO post error on the forums and that isnt helping either.

ive done everything that i can come to think of except from removing the cpu from the mother board.

can you please help me with the solution of fixing this problem

@username6465 does the psu work? See if the fan in the PSU spins up when you turn the computer on.

Try with out the GPU and run of the on-board integrated chip. Then you could get the drivers and install the GPU or just confirm that the GPU is dead. The only part that can be blamed in most of these cases is the GPU.

EDIT: i am not 100% sure if you can preinstall the drivers and the install the GPU. Are there anymore details you could give us?

First strip the motherboard off all pci and sata devices you don't need plugged in (run on integrated graphics if possible)

 

So here's a short list of possible issues if it still doesn't work:

 

1. Bad ram or ram slot (try different slot/ram configs)

2. Bad sata port (unplug all sata ports and try again)(I've seen a bad port break a bios when there is something plugged into it)

3. Bricked bios (if your motherboard has dual bios switch to the second bios,  should be a switch on the board if this is the case)

4. Bad processor (if you have another processor you can check with the system then its worth trying)

5. Chipset doesn't match the processor (if your mobo requires a certain bios revision for your processor then this could be the issue)

6. If you do have a GPU in a pcie slot then make sure there is power connected to it. (if you have integrated graphics take the GPU out)

7. You said the motherboard lights up so its getting power however the psu could still be an issue.  as a last ditch effort you could try a different psu.

 

As you can see there's alot of stuff that can cause this issue so you will just need to troubleshoot with whatever spare hardware you have.  the easiest way to be entirely sure its the motherboard if you don't have enough spare hardware around to swap stuff out would be to take a working motherboard out of one of your working machines and swap it into the system and see if it posts (assuming you have another mobo that supports the chipset).

the motherbord dose not have a on-board integrated gpu

 

@Wolfereign

1. Bad ram or ram slot (try lot of ram config)

2. Bad sata port (try with nothing but the motherboad pulg in to the psu)

3. Bricked bios (have not done that but have try reset the cmos)

4. Bad processor (just trow out 10 775 cpu no more left)

5. Chipset doesn't match the processor (was working 6 morth ago with the cpu)

6. If you do have a GPU in a pcie slot then make sure there is power connected to it. (tryed that )

7. You said the motherboard lights up so its getting power however the psu could still be an issue.  as a last ditch effort you could try a different psu. (only one I have left is my main rig have to take it out )

I will try a new psu

You've probably done this but make sure to give the board a good look over for blown or torn off capacitors.  Also make sure there is a motherboard speaker plugged in so you can audibly hear the post in case its a graphics issue
