Hello All,
So I'm pulling my hair out here, trying to get my first build up and running. I've looked through as many threads here as I could and done as much research elsewhere as I can, but I'm just not sure what to make of the situation.
Build
The Problem
Ultimately I'll power up the system and all I will see is a red light and spinning fans. The CPU fan will run, the GPU fans will spin, but I won't get any display to my monitor, and I won't get any beep code (which is extra frustrating since this is an AMI BIOS and they don't have a "no beep" option listed in their codes).
My Testing So Far
I've completely taken the system apart and started from scratch. I double checked the newbie build guide stickied to similar threads. I've checked that the pins on my CPU socket are good, and that the CPU is set in properly. When I power on my board with just the CPU and heatsink/fan installed I'll get the familiar 3 short beeps letting me know that there is an issue with my RAM.
I'll then install one stick of RAM in a known good slot, (tested beforehand), and then silence - no beeps when powered up. The only other things I have plugged in at this point are the case headers, board speaker, and the CPU fan.
Just to see I installed my GPU and plugged in my monitor. When powered up no beeps, no display.
I just don't know what other tests I can do to tell me what might be the problem. Unfortunately I don't have a voltmeter or another system to test the PSU on, but I don't think that is the problem. I've read my board manual front to back, watched as many videos as I could, so I don't think there could be a 1D10T error. I just don't know what piece of hardware to try and replace, and I was hoping I could avoid it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm about on the verge of tears right now.
Cheers,
Alex
