Intel i5 G3258

EVGA 500 W PSU

HyperX FURY 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz

NZXT Source S340

Sandisk SSD 250GB

2 x Corsair AF120's

2x NZXT Fans

Gigabyte H81M-S2H Motherboard

 

So ive just finished building this PC. I've tried booting with an iso USB plugged it along with keyboard and mouse. 

 

I've tried HDMI and DVI, neither are showing any display. 

 

CPU plug is in, 24pin is in, everything is brand new from Amazon and i dont have any other things to test it with as my PC is DDR4 X99.

 

Halp.

i5 G3258? Either you have a Core i5 or Pentium CPU.

'i5 G3258'

 

Really.

 

Have you got the CPU power plugged in? Is the RAM properly seated?

 

 

i5 G3258? Either you have a Core i5 or Pentium CPU.

 

 

wat?

 

Does it POST? Do the fans start spinning?

 

I done fucked up. Yeah pentium xD

 

the RAM is clicked into place.

 

All fans including cooler fan spins. 

 

Case LED lights up.

 

Mouse LEDs light up once plugged in.

 

Keyboard LEDs however dont light up at all so powers going through the system just not posting and allowing drivers to load.

Did you mix the GPU and CPU power up?  Also, said CPU doesn't exist.  You have a Pentium, not an i5.

 

I dont have a gpu yet. Im using onboard graphics. So the HDMI/DVI was plugged into the motherboard seperatly. Neither loaded an image.

Still try reseating it, it can often look in but be ever so slightly out.

 

 

Usually this is a ram related issue

 

Try one dimm in the first slot on your motherboard

 

 

Did you mix the GPU and CPU power up?  Also, said CPU doesn't exist.  You have a Pentium, not an i5.

Really.

Reseated RAM. Still no signal being displayed, still not LED light up on Keyboard.

Heres a video of inside the case, see if you can see anything wrong; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XVu-whhYWI

 

stick it in a different seat

 

Still nothing

Did you try running the system ontop of a box or something before installing it in the case? Did you make sure to install the spacers between case frame and mobo?  Also remove everything you don't need to boot to bios, so HDD and network card, audio pin heads ect (And anything else I may have missed from the video) and try again.

 

If this still fails I think its either your motherboard, or your RAM, and if you don't have any spares I'm not sure how you can test it. Sorry.

I've just taken it all out. At tried with my ax860i that I know works along with them cables. Still nothing. Spacers between motherboard and case are installed. Tested as well without ssd, keyboard, mouse, USB header, corsair fans. Still no response.
