No Post, Is it a BIOS Problem?

[Mikailk]

I just recently built this computer, and everything spins, Hard Drive, Fans, CPU even gets warm, but the monitor says no signal. There's no beep when i start it with no RAM. On PC PartPicker, there was a BIOS update warning, could that be it? The CPU's BIOS version is newer than the Motherboards? Is this what the problem is? Or is it a dead board?

 

AMD A10-7850K APU

Gigabyte F2A88X-D3H Mobo

it possible it may be running an older BIOS

 

you might need to bring back to the shop and ask for a lower end APU to let you boot into BIOS to update the firmware

Is this a typical error when doing this with pc's? Could this also mean a dead motherboard?

it happens to mobo which have been in storage for quite a while

 

it also happens to Intel when Haswell Refresh didnt work with Haswell ready only boards

 

the boards need a BIOS update to make them accept the newer refresh CPUs

 

in doubt bring it back where you bought the mobo and let them test the mobo

What's the possibility that the motherboard is dead. The GPU spins, all fans spin, hard drive spins, etc.

very hard to tell

 

it either no power LED on the mobo

 

test the mobo outside of the case on the mobo box and see if it give you anything

It's on a test bench. No LED.

ok that sounds like a DOA mobo

what does DOA mean? The mobo doesn't have an LED

Dead on Arrival

Dead on Arrival

So the motherboard can be powering all of this and be dead?

pretty much the above steps

 

if nothing happens

 

then you need to return the mobo

[Mikailk]

So it's hard to tell. I have to take it to a shop and see what they can find out
