First Time Building A Computer: Not Posting

[TidalFetus]

So, basically, I was in the process of building my first computer. Once I was done assembling everything, I turned the bad-boy on and it didn't post. Thus I began to disassemble and resemble it 3 times and it still isn't posting. Have any tips on how to fix this darn thing?

List O' Parts:

1x MSI b85m gaming

1x Sapphire radeon r7 260x OC Version

1x Corasir CX 430

1x Intel Pentium g3258

1x intel 520 series 120gb ssd

1x Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb 1866mhz

Is everything plugged in?

Theres your problem, no monitor, I'm sorry I'm not funny

[Vacsol]

do the fans spin up? Does the screen detect any input? is your monitor plugged into the GPU or the mobo?

also why would you get a g3258 and a non-overclocking motherboard?

[TidalFetus]

I've tried both the gpu and the internal inputs on the motherboard with no response. The screen doesn't detect its existence. The fans spin and the led light for the "Boost Audio" symbol is working as well. Just no display

B85 Gaming can overclock G3258, even most H81 boards can.

Also, from what I've read, the motherboard should overclock the Pentium with the latest bios updated d:

But, yeah, it seems like everything is working fine but the ability to display, which I've tried on multiple monitors. I heard that the ram could be the issue, but I don't know how to find out if that's the case.

You're supposed to do it so I normally wouldn't post this, but because you are new to the forum, have you read the Read Me post? http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/42440-readme-how-to-respond-to-a-no-post-or-no-power-up-situation/

 

What I would do first if I was you would be trying the integrated graphics: remove the GPU and connect your monitor to the HDMI/DisplayPort/DVI/whatever port on your motherboard

Maybe im wrong here but i cant remember b chipsets supporting 1866mhz RAM. Can you check your mainboards qvl list?

[STRMfrmXMN]

Is your BIOS updated to the latest one? G3258 is Haswell Refresh based and B85s are all Haswell based. It's a lottery with the manufacturer trying to get an updated BIOS shipped to you.

Doesn't mean it won't work. Higher speed RAM will just automatically downclock to run at the maximum supported speed of the chipset/motherboard

BIOS revision 1 or higher is compatible.... hmm
