Hello dear LinusTechTip Forums.

 

Recently, a friend of mine wanted to build a PC. So he ordered his parts and they arrived this week on Tuesday. I went to his place that day to build the PC for him which he wanted, and I also did it. Finally, after we asembled the machine, we plugged in the cabels (power cable, mouse/keyboard etc.) and wanted to see if it works. Unfortunately, the PC doesn't want to start. Black screen all the time, no beeps, nothing. The System itself has power. GPU has power, the fan is spinning, water cooling is also working fine, the fans and radiator are working. First we thought it's the RAM since there is a red light on the MOBO which is called DRAM_LED which was on the whole time, indicating something is wrong with the memory. The next day, he bought a new pair of sticks. He tried that and still nothing! The damn light is still on and simply doesn't want to turn itself off.  


1. I tried reseating the GPU to another PCIe slot, nothing

2. I tried booting up with only 1 RAM stick, nothing

3. I tried booting up without any RAM, still nothing. Now at this point, it was actually strange. Usually, the MOBO would give a loud beep that there is no RAM, but it didn't. There are literally no beeps at all, the system isn't responding at all. And the light is still on!

4. We tried booting up with his old GPU, nothing

5. I pressed the "MemOK!" to test the memory and configure itself, nothing

Shortly summarized. Black screen, nothing appearing and no beeps at all. I am literally brain fucked right now and don't know what to do. If you could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance. 

The PC Parts he ordered:

Asus X99 Sabertooth Motherboard LGA 2011-v3 Socket
EVGA Nvidia GTX 1080 Founders Edition
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz CL14

Corsair VS650 Power Supply
3TB HDD
Intel Core i7 6850k

Phanteks Enthoo Primo Case 

Samsung Nano 850 Evo SSD

Do you have access to another Mobo? Sounds like the Mobo may be DOA. Try to RMA it. Also, try moving the ram sticks around the DIMM slots. Read through the No Post topic on the troubleshooting section, and make sure you do everything that says.

Mobo or PSU could be dead. 

Make sure that the 24 pin connector for the mobo is seated properly. 

 

There are many things that could cause this issue - mostly silly mistakes.

Wait! Another solution. Did you put in those VERY ANNOYING little cables from the case? The audio, reset PLED etc? They look like this https://www.google.co.za/search?q=annoying+PLED,+reset+cables&espv=2&biw=1180&bih=890&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-h-WUpp7NAhUKLsAKHTmVA4wQ_AUIBigB#imgdii=o_342PO4fVrUxM%3A%3Bo_342PO4fVrUxM%3A%3By7o1_ABv3KgjgM%3A&imgrc=o_342PO4fVrUxM%3

Then test with another PSU, if it still does not work, then another mobo. If you do not have spares, go to a PC repair shop. They have spares so they can test.
