Posted November 27, 2016 Hey guys, First PC build here, and I'm getting pretty nervous. I've got an MSI Gaming Pro Carbon, Intel i7-6800k, and Corsair 4x8GB, 3000 MHz Ram, Corsair HX1000i. I was able to boot the system, run bios, and run trial linux ubuntu outside the case. Updated to the latest MSI Bios while on the testbench (mobo box). Installed everything and now getting post code 00. CPU fan and RAM are lighting up, but nothing else. I've tried troubleshooting guides on here and Tom's Hardware, including running on a single stick of RAM, reseating power cables, removing everything except for the bare essentials. Nothing has any effect. I'm not sure if it's related, but I was having a small issue earlier (that is persisting) where the system won't reset. When it was booting to bios, pressing reset or telling it to reset through bios would either do nothing or cause the system to just shut off. Then it wouldn't boot again until I cycled the power supply. Any wisdom greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 27, 2016 Author The only thing on that list I haven't tried is the system speaker, because that's the one part I don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 27, 2016 Double check the standoffs are mounted correctly. Then, clear the CMOS by either removing the battery or using the jumper on the motherboard. Unplug everything that's not absolutely essential, including the GPU- plug directly into the motherboard. Then, check your motherboards DIMM slot configuartion, remove all the RAM except for one stick, seated in the proper DIMM slot (this is important, any old DIMM slot won't do). See if you get a post. If you don't, swap out the stick for another one and try again.

Posted November 27, 2016 Now that I look at this from a different point of view it might be a BIOS issue My life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However MSI's Z170 has 'Flashback+' which still lets the computer turn on and tell you the BIOS is corrupted, at which point it will do a restore. If he's getting nothing at all and it is a BIOS issue then I don't have much else to offer.

Posted November 27, 2016 Before securing your components into the case did you test them to ensure stability? Roses are red, violets are blue. I enjoy foruming on LinusTechTips too!

Best of luck to you, but I think you may need to cut your losses here.

I certainly in no way at all advice you to claim it was DOA. Definitely don't do that. Totally unethical. Not in any way suggesting you do that. Nope.
