::The Specs are listed below::

 

Hello,

I am an amateur in the process of building my first rig. I got all the parts and was following the “How to build a PC” youtube guide the LTT team put together.

While doing the Pre-test that was suggested, I ran into some issues.

 

This is how far I got:

- I seated my CPU into the socket

- I installed the Cooler (Connected the 2 fans that came with it to the Motherboard)

- I seated the SSD Card

- I seated the DDR5 Ram in the 2nd and 4th positions as indicated by my Motherboard Manual.

-Seated the Graphics card

- Connected my Monitor to power and to the graphics card using a display port cable.

-Connected my Keyboard to the Motherboard.

- I plugged the PSU to power and connected it to the motherboard then to the graphics card.

-I powered my pre build on and get…

 

1:) No display.

2:) The CPU led status light comes on. (Solid Orange)

3:) The Graphics Card fans turn on and stays on

4:) The Cooler fans turn on and stay on aswell.

 

I’ve disassembled everything and reseated everything about 3 times now to the same issue.

I also reset the CMOS to the same issue.

 

I sincerely hope didn’t F everything up. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

These are the Specs for my build:

 

Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX LGA 1700 Intel Z790 ATX Motherboard with DDR5

Take a picture of the motherboard with your RAM placement please 

[Rene D.]

I have a lot of experience with this exact issue lol. If you want we hop can on a discord call so I can help you out? Although it's more than likely the ram try out different configs. Also HDMI seems to be better behaved than DP you could try that out as well.

Did you connect the separate CPU power 8-pin connector (referred to alternately as an EPS connector)? Should be along the top edge of the board.

Yessir. I connected the 8 pin into the PSU and the 6+2pin into the graphics card. When I run the test, the graphics card is getting power.

Ah, that’s good to know and reassuring.

I wont be able to meet right now but I am very much open to set up a meet later this week, whenever possible.

Have you tried just runing of the iGPU and figuring out the GPU thing later

[Bob__]

and also single stick of ram

 

Oh and by personal experience I got the exact same thing and I just RMA'ed the board and that fixed it

[Whatisthis]

Try to boot without ram. Boot sequence is cpu, bios, ram. If cpu and mobo are good you will get an error immediately. Not sure if that board has beep codes on top of the lights.

@WhatisthisTry doing what he says. Also use a signal stick and try different slots for each boot up attempt. The connections with the CPU and ram could be faulty. Check the CPU pins and make sure there are no bent pins as a last resort. You can message me your discord if your still having trouble.

ok, I tried booting without RAM. I also tried all the possible configuration for RAM. All those bring up the CPU error light immediately. The MB has no beep codes just the error lights.

i’m not sure what you mean by this. Do you mind explaining a little bit?

I’ve tried all that was suggested with no luck. I made sure to get a LGA so I don’t botch the CPU lol . I checked and reseated the CPU just in case. I sent you a message with my discord. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to look over this with me.
