Hi, my computer won't post.

 

I built the computer up and turned in the spans spin for 3 seconds, stop and then start again it will do this in a loop.

 

I tried removing all ram, trying different slots and different ram, removed all connections, usbs and graphics card se thing happened.

 

When I remove all ram and boot pc it beeps to tell me that there is no ram the moment I enter ram again it's just stuck in a restart loop.

 

I removed the board from the computer and same thing again.

 

I tried the PSU in another computer and it doesn't post either the fans will spin constantly and do nothing else 

 

Baught a new PSU as I thought this was the issue and nothing same issue occurs.

 

Specs are:

 

PC 1:

Intel core I5-2300

Intel Desktop Board

 

PC 2:

Amd x4 880k

Gigabyt GA-FA78M2

 

The 2 power supplys:

Supernova 550 GS

Standard ATX 500W

My first thought;did you test boot outside the case, first...?

**I frequently edit any posts you may quote; please check for anything I 'may' have amended.**

 

Current PC spec. in my profile.
Can I realistically call myself a gamer, if I only play ONE, twenty year old game...?

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

All a PC 'needs' to post in motherboard, CPU, RAM graphics output & storage.

Can you even get into the BIOS, on either 'board?

No signal is being received by monitor, tried HDMI, and VGA. I haven't been plugging in the Storage as I thought this wasn't required for bios boot

Clear the CMOS, next.

 

i5-2500 has iGPU, so should output via on-board VGA/DVI/HDMI
X4 880K has NO on-board graphics...

PC Details:

Mobo:  Intel desktop Board,

CPU: core i5-2400

 

Description:

OKay hopefully someone can help me, the desktop fans spin for 2-3 seconds turn off then start again, no beeps. This only happens if I have 1-3 ram installed 😕 if I have all 4 slots filled the fans will spin continually and not cut off but still no display or lost being reviewed.

 

If I remove all ram then I do get post error of no ram as normal so this side works....

 

Really lost what else to try or it could be, thinking bios is fooked??

 

Any help?

 

Issue:

No post

 

Tried:

  • Resetting bios
  • Changing ram
  • Different ram slots
  • No GPU
  • MoBo out case
  • Clean CPU re-apply thermal
  • Different monitor
  • Different cables

What RAMs are you using? There should be a particular slots for single/dual channel installation. Start off by getting your computer to Post with only 1 RAM stick installed in the supported slot. We can work our way up from there.  

Yeah this never posted either, managed to get it to post by leaving the CMOS battery in, putting jumper on something called reset config and leave it for about ten minutes the computer just chatted away then booted up.

Try getting a new CMOS battery sounds like something is off there.

 

Also *full* specs would help. Like every component in your pc, names are usually written on the parts somewhere.

Great, so all done right? Make sure to match CMOS battery type/voltage with your earlier one.
