Computer will not boot

[Advance]

I built this computer last December and it has been running fine since then. Last week I went to use it and there was no display output to my screen, restarting it didn't fix the issue, and I noticed the LED debug display on the motherboard was not lighting up (On boot it normally lights up with different codes). All the fans in the case spin like normal, the 1070 lights up and fans spin on that as well. The power led on the front of the case lights up, as well as the Ethernet led lights on the motherboard. I have tried different memory combos, and nothing seems to work. The monitor is working fine with my laptop so its not that.

 

I called EVGA support at first thinking it was a graphics card problem, and they told me it was most likely an issue with the motherboard. I made a ticket with Asrock and ended up RMAing it and sending the board back to them. I just got the replacement board today and its still the same issue and I am not sure what to do next.

 

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Unplug the power supply for a minute or so (from the back not inside the case) and verify that you get the on status LED on the back of the power supply.  If not try flipping the switch, maybe it's set to off.  Try another power outlet or plug something else into the same power outlet the PC is plugged into to verify that it's putting out power.  If you do get the light on the back of the PSU but still don't get power at the motherboard, check the connections for the cables at both ends (psu, 24 pin, 8pin eps, pcie, ect).  If it still doesn't boot, you could try unplugging your power switch from the mobo and using a screw driver to short the pins out (just touch it to the two pins the switch plugs into).

 

To see if it's a GPU issue, you could remove the GPU from the system and try to boot it.  It will give you a no graphics error, but should boot if it's actually a GPU problem.  May need to shut off the psu for a min to reset whatever was causing the boot issue.

The motherboard is getting power, all the fans are spinning when I hit the power button or short the power button pins the LED debug screen on the motherboard is just not lighting up and no display is going out of the graphics card. All psu cables are in the connections, and I even tried switching out the cpu 8 pin (psu came with 2) and no luck.

  Kingston Technology HyperX FURY Black 64 GB Kit 2133 MHz CL14 DIMM DDR4 Internal Memory  

[bcguru9384]

cl14 14 14 14 1.2volts

try to static set if you may get post to bios

i think poor mem being hit with 1.33volts cause a post fail for ram

 

[bcguru9384]

and mobo specs say non ecc 2133mhz ram for only the 2133ram

You could try resetting the BIOS if you haven't already.

Tried both the bios (1 and 2) and keep in mind this is the new board asrock just sent me.

The memory has been working for a few months now fine, if the memory had died, wouldn't the motherboard be outputting the error code for bad memory?

I am pretty sure that any graphics issue should show up a code.  Have you tried as I suggested booting with no graphics card installed?
The only no code situation I can think of would be related to CPU or power.

Right now I have the motherboard out of the case on the box, and only the CPU installed, with 8 and 24 pin powers installed and no codes still. Power supply seems to be working normally as far I can see so maybe it is the CPU. Unless asrock sent me a bad board back, but that doesn't seem likely.

I take it you don't have a known good PSU or 2011-3 chip to test with.

Nope this is my only desktop.

Yeah unfortunately it's a major pain to diagnose stuff like this when there aren't spares readily available.  Have you tried reseating the CPU just to make sure it's sitting in the socket properly?

Yea I reseated it when the new board came, should I try booting without the cpu to see if the motherboard gives any codes? Or would it not give any if there is no cpu?

[Cracklingice]

Never tried.  Not sure what it would do or if it could cause damage doing so.

Try to use a single stick and move it to a different slot whenever you fail to boot.
