Hello,
I recently built a computer for my cousin. It went together fine but I am having a problem getting it to boot up. When I plug it in and power it up, all the fans will spin (including the CPU fan and the fan on the GPU) but I don't get anything on the monitor. No POST, no BIOS, no logo screen, nothing. After a couple of seconds I hear a series of ticks (sounds like they MIGHT be coming from the processor) and the CPU fan revs down for a second as though I just restarted it and then it revs back up. Rinse and repeat. I have double and triple checked the wiring on the motherboard. I have removed the motherboard battery for >5 minutes to try and reset the BIOS. I have tried removing all the accessories (wireless card, graphics card, etc...). I have tried using both sticks of RAM in each of the two slots. I am not getting anywhere and I don't know where to proceed from here! If you need anymore information, let me know and I will do my best to answer any questions. Please help! Thanks in advance!
