Friends PC turns on, but only fans, no post codes or beeps

[LtRoyalShrimp]

Hi guys,

 

My friend put together a new PC for christmas, containing these parts: 

ASRock Fatality Z97 profesional

4690k

GTX 770

Corsair RM750w PSU

Corsair H55 cooler

8GB Corsair ram

 

Now, when he hits the power button, the fans and cooler turn on, but there are no post codes and no beeps and no monitor signal.

 

Things we've tried:

• Reseating CPU
• Double+triple check all wire connections
• Try with 1 stick of ram
• Unplug all power and hold power for 30 sec
• take out CMOS battery for 30 sec
• Remove GFX, HDD, DVD drive and try 

Nothing has worked.

 

Anything else we can try? It fearing it might be a dead board, but its weird since the fans still turn on.

have you intall windows on his machine?

When did the problem started?

Is it a new build?

I'm sorry, but its sadly most likely the motherboard.  In all my life I've rarely or maybe even never seen an Intel CPU be DOA.  

 

You can also try the power supply test, but sadly that probably won't help much since the fans already work.

Probably the MB is dead, but try to check the connections

[asim1999]

Yeah. probably the mobo. Ive heard bad things about Asrock when it comes to reliability and quality. Send this one back and get an Asus/MSI/Gigabyte on instead

Ok, issue has been resolved. 

 

Issue: Bent pin on CPU. 

Solution: Bend pin into correct position.

Bent pin on CPU? On an LGA CPU?

Since it's a new build I'd take it back and replace it.

I think he means bent pin on motherboard?

No?

No?

No, there was a bent pin on the 4690k. My friend, who is pretty good with this stuff bent the pin back into place. 

 

Temps using H55 cooler: 17c idle. According to realtemp.

What asim1999 was getting at is that there are no _PINS_ on a 4690k; only pads.  The _socket_ has the pins that contact these pads.
