Computer Won't Start (First Use)

[Andystan19]

Hi all,

 

I have just bought some computer components and when i assemble the computer and start it up, no picture is displayed to my monitor.

 

I know that the system is working as the CPU fan is spinning along with the power supply fan and my panel fan.

 

I have no OS loaded and I should be able to enter the BIOS screen (or am I wrong?)

 

Here is a list of my components and thanks for the help

 

MSI B85M-P33 V2 (Motherboard)

 

Crucial Ballistix 2 x 4GB (RAM)

 

Intel i3 4130 (Processor)

 

WD Green 1TB (Storage)

 

Benq DL2215 LED (Monitor)

 

Coolink MPT-5012P (PSU)

 

Many thanks again,

Couple things.

- Make sure the monitor is on

- Make sure the monitor has the correct input set as its source

- Make sure the 4 pin CPU power is plugged in.

 

Yes, on the first boot and any boot after that you are supposed to be able to enter the bios screen.

Those components should work together just fine. Did you check all of your connections. If no display is popping up and you correctly installed everything then there's something wrong. You should be able to boot into your bios without any OS installed so that's not the issue.

Smart suggestion KDub! Make sure that the 4 pin Power Cable used to power your processor is connected to your motherboard. Its usually in the top left area of the motherboard.

It must be so damn slow with wd green drive OS. Hope u have a faster drive for the os.

Thanks for the feedback everyone,

 

After reassembling my PC 3 times with no change to the problem, I am beginning to think that the power supply is faulty.

 

Do you think that this is a plausible explanation?

 

Many thanks,

The motherboard is faulty: the graphics chip doesn't work
