New PC won't POST - no speaker to diagnose

[Zade_95]

Hi, 

 

I have a problem with a new PC I'm putting together. It won't post, and I dont have a speaker to here beeps to diagnose it. My new case doesn't have one either. 

 

I'm currently breadboarding it with just the PSU, board, cpu and ram, and no luck. Turns on but cpu fan spins at 100℅ and nothing happens on screen. Does the same if the RAM is removed.

 

The cpu is second hand from a reputable seller, while motherboard and psu are brand new. Ram is confirmed working in another PC.

 

Specs: AMD A10-7870K, ASROCK A68M-ITX, Silverstone SFXL 700w, Kingston Hyper x 1*8gb ddr3.

 

I'm stumped, thoughts?

MOBO DOA?  Did you call support?

Send us some pictures of the board.

Have you double checked the connections?

Did you use any antistatic precautions?

Will do when I get home. Yep, triple checked connections. Did everything on wood so static shouldn't be an issue. Difficult without having a speaker to beep:/

did you ensure that your body didnt have a static build up when handling any of the components

Yeah, had a strap

Fixed it! Bent CPU pin. That was close!
