Computer not Posting

[jammmmmmieblak]

Hi,

I just built a computer for my brother,

Specs are:

AMD FX6300 Black Edition

ASUS 760G

GTX 1050 Ti

4GB Ballistic DDR3

Corsair 450w PSU

TP link wifi Card

 

The computer won't display anything, with any configuration of parts plugged in,

so just the CPU,

CPU and RAM,

CPU, Ram and GPU,

Tried taking out the battery (i believe the CMOS??)

None of this has worked.

All of the parts arrived in the post today,

 

Whatever combination I try it in, the fans spin, the lights turn no, but no picture is displayed. The whole thing happens even when there isn't any power to the 4 pin CPU power.

Can anyone help?

Sounds like a fault with the motherboard.

check which ram slots your using. Also test the cords to the monitor and the monitor itself. Also could be the bios needs an update on the mobo.

Put back in the possible CMOS please.  I never messed with CMOS myself should be a round battery though.  If you have another PSU try plugging that in.  Triple quadruple check that every plug is plugged in.  Also you should test the parts using your test bench (mobo box) first before plugging in if you put the whole thing together   Make sure you have your feet on your case if you already put it on in the case.  I'm just going by what I've done in the past

Both ram slots tested, monitor is (for now,) a tv, that in the same plug, and cable had just been running a ps4.

 

The whole thing had been tested, but I didn't find the speaker until after it had been assembled into the case.

Would that mean a new motherboard?

Where are you plugging the monitor into? That motherboard has onboard video. It should default to the video card, but it might be going to the onboard video card for one reason or another.

 

When something like this happens, I pull out everything that is unnecessary. If you have two sticks of ram only put one in. If you have onboad video pull out the video card any DVD drives or hard drive unplug them all.

 

 

Are there any beep code or anything?

Use a real computer monitor if you have one not a TV. I have seen some TVs don't work very well at certain resolutions.

When tried with the GPU installed, I plugged into the back of the GPU, but when not installed, plugged into the back of the mobo.

Also tried plugging in to mobo, with GPU installed.

Everything has been unplugged,

No beep codes,

hmm, do you get beep codes if you pull all of the ram and boot it with no ram?
That will at least tell you if the speaker is working.

If you aren't getting beep codes and not booting your looking at Power supply motherboard or CPU. Unfortunately there really isn't a good way to find out what one it is without getting a second one to test with.

Just to verify the speaker your using to check the beep codes is the small speaker that plugs directly into the motherboard. not your standard computer speakers you normally use. Correct?

It plugs in around where you plug the power and reset switch into the motherboard. 

If this is the case I would guess your motherboard is probably bad.

yes, I have also tried it in every orientation possible (not sure if that does anything).

Have tried with a monitor, same results.

This is sounding like a bad motherboard unfortunately. 

Motherboards should scream at you first thing if you don't have ram and that is very basic system. If it isn't even complaining about missing ram I say something is wrong with it.

 

You could try just for a last ditch effort is take the motherboard completely out of the case. And only plug in power and the speaker and turn it see if there is any life in it. (use a screw driver to short the power connection) There is still a small chance it could be a power supply or CPU issue. If you have a power supply handy you could try that.

But at this point I would put my money on bad motherboard.

I did try this, taking the cpu out, and got the same results,

Yeah dead motherboard in my opinion
RIP

I can't think of any thing else to do.
