What did I do wrong?

[Chaicho]

I booted up my new build and it won't send signal, and the gpu doesnt seem to turn on either heeelp.

give us more info than this uneventful photo please

[stealth80]

Need components and a better picture please. Is the monitor plugged into the GPU ?

Missing your 4 pin power to the board (near the CPU).

[Oshino Shinobu]

The CPU power isn't plugged in. I've circled it in red.

No, I plugged it into the mobo.

the monitor won't display an image if it's plugged into the motherboard video output whilst a gpu is installed without the intel igpu drivers although that doesn't answer the beeps have you looked in the manual as to what the beeps indicate?

[Shog]

So now, everything is plugged in, and you turn it on and the fans spin up it beeps 5 times and then turns off and the fans stop spinning? Does the gpu fan spin up as well?

try removing your stick of ram and putting it in again/changing the slot from 1 to 2. And your ram is compatible with your motherboard? proper ddr# and an acceptable Mhz?

I should have said that a certain amount of beeps means ram or cpu etc. like code it might be 3 quick beeps or 3 beeps with a gap in between

Manuals dont really seem to help either

What GPU is that? is the 6 and/or 8 pin power plugged in if it needs one?
That hard drive also looks to be mounted weirdly, are the connectors for that plugged in?

I would say the same about ram slot some manufacturers prefer second slot for a single stick. Although speed shouldn't be an issue as the memory controller will just clock it down to a frequency it can handle. I'd deffinetly recommend re-seating the memory though and maybe the gpu as well or taking the gpu out and trying it with just igpu

it looks like one of those cases where the hdd mounts sideways bit like this case

Yeah man everything seems to be in order

[stealth80]

Theres also a screw missing from bottom/right corner of the board

POST doesn't need Windows drivers to work, so that's unrelated.

 

@Chaicho what's the complete specs?

 

For the 5 beeps you should look in the motherboard manual, that should tell you what's the problem

But doesn't the pci-e slot automatically disable on-board igpu if you have a gpu in the pci-e slot? it did on my old MSI board that I had back when Sandybridge was first out, the only way to enable it again was once windows and the drivers was installed so I had to plug my main display into dedicated gpu and then my secondary one wouldn't work until everything was set up as I used my igpu for my secondary display

GPU vs IGPU is a BIOS setting as far as i know (at least it is on my Z170-A) so anything beyond the BIOS stage should have no affect on that sort of thing.

My Z87 shows both, so it might be related to BIOS settings, not drivers is what I meant

[Chaicho]

Thank you a for your help. I'm an idiot and didnt put the ram hard enough fearing it would break. It booted up now finally, I appreciate all your guys help!!

ah maybe it varies between boards then my bad just a thought though as it was an issue i've come across in the past I thought I'd share just incase it was of any help

Glad to hear you've fixed it. Have fun with your new build

Well looks like you were right as it was the RAM after all!

I thought it may have been although I wasn't the first to suggest it @Shog deserves the credit here as they suggested it first
