Help needed for build upgrade!

[Rhyzak]

Issue: Nothing is displaying on any of my monitors no matter which port I choose.

 

New components I've installed:

I have brought a new CPU, CPU Cooler Fan, Motherboard and RAM.

My current Components that im using with thee new ones:

Corsair RM750 PSU

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit OS

 

When I turn the PC on all the lights light up on the motherboard and ram, the cpu cooler fans start spinning, but no signal is displayed on any either of my monitors. I have tried the VGA, DVI and HDMI ports but nothing is displayed. No post screen or boot screen.

I have also tried connecting USB devices like external drives, DAPs and a GTX1070. The USB drives started spinning up just fine like normally, my other devices also connected like they use to do and the GPU also lit up like normally. But still nothing is been displayed.

I'm assuming you are plugging your monitor into the GTX 1070? Do you know if the card is working? If not the card it's probably a bad mobo, when I got my X99 board last year it was dead on arrival and had to RMA it.  

[Rhyzak]

I tried the Motherboard by itself at first but found that nothing was working for diplays. Then I tried the GPU. I tried all ports on both the Motherboard and GPU but neither have worked.

[Taylor2956]

Sounds like a bad board to me. so you have dual monitors? This shouldn't make a difference but did you try just plugging one in? Just trying to think of everything before you would have to RMA a board

Displays: 
• LG 25UM58-P - 25" - 21:9 - 2560x1080 @ 75Hz
• AOC I2367F - 23" - 16:9 - 1920x1080 @ 66Hz
• Compaq Q2009 - 20" - 16:9 - 1600x900 @ 60Hz
• Panasonic TH-P42X20Z - 42" - 16:9 - 1920x1080 @ 60Hz
• HP L1906 - 19" - 5:4 - 1280x1024 @ 60Hz

 

I tried all to just 1 of each in each of their available ports. neither have worked sadly

[Taylor2956]

It's possable that you may need a BIOS update before that new G skill memory will work. If you had an older stick of DDR4 to try I would do that.

Try booting up with just one stick of ram in the board. What code is showing on the main board on boot?

I had DDR3 before this upgrade sadly.

I have tried just 1 stick of ram in each slot but still nothing. I'm not sure what you mean by "What code is showing on the main board on boot?"

[Taylor2956]

I don't think that board has display codes on it. I looked up the ram on your mobo support page and it's not listed there. You may need to find a way to update the bios with different memory.

[Rhyzak]

If I manage to get some cheaper ram just for an update would I still be able to use the ram I have now after the bios updates?

[Taylor2956]

Yeah in my experience they add support for new ram with bios updates and then it's fully compatible after that.

its been a long time since I've heard of ram issues on motherboards.

yup you is right, just double checked the picture I was looking at and that aint an error LED haha (think its a large transistor!) 

[Rhyzak]

just got back from the shops and got some cheap 50 dolla ddr4 ram. everyhting is working perfectly now. will update the bios and everything so hopefully the ram i brought will work with it

 

thanx for the help ;D

 

[Rhyzak]

Everything is working perfectly and have updated all the drivers and BIOS to the latest by following the guides on ASRock for the Motherboard. Sadly it seems that it does not support the RGB version of the RAM, even with all the updates. Looks like I will need to send it back and get the non-RGB version.

[Taylor2956]

Glad to help  sad to hear hopefully they add support for it soon.

haha nice, I think all mobo's should have the error LED's. It makes finding the problems way easier.
