Posted August 3, 2017 My PC doesn't post, no splash screen, nothing at all. Just a flashing underscore on screen. Tried to clear cmos, no response on my keyboard or mouse, tried to boot windows 10 off of a usb stick and nothing happens. EDIT: Forgot to add that I can't enter the bios either. Also added PC part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cF76WX SPECS: i5-2400 ASUS P8H61-M LE Patriot 8gb ram SanDisk 120gb SSD WD Blue 500gb HDD No Dedicated graphics plugged in at the moment.

CPU cooler spins, same with 80mm and 120mm case fans, no beeping noises from mobo, and everything is plugged in all the way.

Posted August 3, 2017 Remove all the RAM. A working motherboard should detect there is no ram and beep. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/817087-pc-doesnt-post/#findComment-10246637 Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 3, 2017 Get another motherboard. It is not worth the trouble, it is old and a 7th gen pentium has the same performance.
