HELP PLEASE!?!?

[sillycar91]

Hey guys,

 

I am currently building myself a computer but when I go to turn the power on, the fans and water pump start, but it won't start posting. I have checked the motherboard and memory which are both confirmed as working. The processor was found to be faulty and was replaced under warranty. I thought that this would be the end of it but when I got home it still wouldn't post. I have tried clearing CMOS, re-seated everything, tried different memory positions and so on, to no success. Is it possible that the power supply is causing this?

 

My components are:

MSI Z170a Gaming M5 motherboard

Intel i5 6600k

Two 8GB Sticks of Kingston HyperX DDR4 2400

EVGA Supernova G2 750w 8o+ Gold

Corsair 750D Airflow edition

 

I only got the parts two days ago.

 

Thank you for any help.

Honestly, the power supply dosn't look like it's causing this

Are you fans plugged in properly?

[himustache2]

What is your graphics card, it may be a power hungry one

what would fans have to do with the system posting or not ?

[sillycar91]

All of the fans are plugged in correctly, and atm I don't have a graphics card (poor student). And what are the odds that I get two faulty cpus in a row?

The first system I built I did this same thing.

and I also had the same PSU and it turned out to be one of the fans I some how plugged in improperly.

I also had a pc do this becouse the 8 pin CPU cable was not seated properly. I recommend taking all your cables off and reinstalling them.

I have been building PC for over 5 years and have built hundreds and in that time I have had 1 bad CPU. 

what cooler are you useing?

[sillycar91]

I am using a Coolermaster Nepton 240m

Also did you make sure that your display is plugged in properly and set to the right input?

[sillycar91]

Im pretty sure that the display is on the correct input. Also the display on the mother board isnt cycling any post codes. It just sits on 00

Ive almost never heard of a CPU being DOA (s**t happens, but it's pretty rare)

If you're able to test the computer out with a different PSU, I'd try that first.

My nest guess would be faulty ram/ram slots.

Honestly, take this step by step. TBH Id probably blame the mobo or ram before I blamed the PSU on this occasion, however PSUs are known to be the biggest problem causers.
