Asrock B150 Pro4/D3 wont boot

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

Here is my setup:

Asrock B150 Pro4/D3
Intel I7 6700K
Spare Cooler from a i5 boxed version
2 x 16GB kit (32gb total) Crucial DDR3 - 1600 UDIMM 1.5v
Kingston SSD 256GB

No bios or post screen, fans are running. Tried with internal and onboard videocard. Still no picture or boot sound.

Tried to put 1 set of ram into the slots, still not working.

I noticed that the Ram is not on the support list with Asrock. Can it really be true it is the fault ?

It might be a RAM compatibility issue. Can you test different one?

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

I dont have any of the RAM on the compatible list 🙁

 

[alexoiu]

Then I suggest returning the RAMs and buying a DDR3L one.

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

Does the RAM need to be Skylake Compatible aswell ?

 

[alexoiu]

DDR3L. If selecting a kit, you can post the model here and we can check if compatible.

I Think i will try 4 x single Channel ram instead. I have found theese: KVR16N11/8 Will they do ?

Thanks

 

[alexoiu]

No, I would select a low voltage one from http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search?DeviceType=7&Mfr=ASR&Line=Motherboard&Model=93287

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

Installed ddrl3 ram from the advised ones on kingston website. Still no image. What could possibly cause this ?

 

[alexoiu]

What's the RAMs model? Cam you connect a case speaker to the motherboard?

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

4 x Kingston DDR3L PC1600 8GB CL10 HyperX FURY

The motherboard has the small buzzerspeaker attached - no Odd Sounds or beeps

 

[alexoiu]

If removing the RAMs and starting the board, are you getting any beeps?

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

Yes, it beeps fast

 

[alexoiu]

What's the beeps pattern? What header is the CPU cooler connected to?

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

Beep break beep break beep break with 0.5 second interval

The cooler is attached to CPU FAN

 

[alexoiu]

Now insert single RAM module, connect the monitor to the motherboard (graphics card removed) and start the board. See if getting signal. If not, power off and test different slot.

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

Have tried that, still no image. The cpu fan does not start when the chassis fans start, it starts a little delayed. Has that anything to do with it ? It is like the fan tries to go a bit left, then a bit right - and finally it starts with full revs, and slows down to normal speed

 

[alexoiu]

What power supply using? Is the 8 pin power cable properly connected?

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

It's a 500W psu with the 8 pin attached to the MB (2 x 4 pin connectors)

 

[alexoiu]

Can you post a picture of the motherboard? What video cable using for connecting the monitor?

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

I am using Either HDMI from onboard, or VGA from videocard.

Here is a few images, please let me know if you need more images

[alexoiu]

Try removing the graphics card. Test only with the motherboard. Are you using a monitor, or tv?

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

I did try without the graphics card, I am using a Samsung 32" curved monitor without tv tuner

 

[alexoiu]

Try borrowing a monitor and testing, if possible.

 

[Ivegotacoffeemugattachedtomyhand]

I can do that, but wouldn't it be a graphics issue ? My concern is that it doesn't beep, although the speaker is set on the MB. If i remove the RAM, it beeps short beeps. The Case did not include any standoffs, could this be it ? All the rear connectors sits flush with the case, so it is not looking misplaced. The case has some 'build-in' standoffs integrated in the metal.
