Ok I'm stumped.
My computer won't POST when I turn it on. The LEDs turn on and the fans, but the monitors don't show any signal and there's no BIOS beep.
It work just fine until I decided to upgrade my GPU, I have a Gigabyte 1080 and FINALLY got my hands on a Gigabyte RTX 3090. Easy swap, right?
Well as most of you know, the 30 series are a lot bigger than older GPU's, which meant I had to move my water cooler, which meant I had to remove the RAM to get access to the water cooler screws.
The water cooler was moved, the RAM was replaced, and the 3090 was installed. I hit the power switch and it seemed fine... LEDs turned on, fans turned on, motherboard got power, GPU had power, but no signal to the monitors. After a bit I put the old GTX 1080 back into the computer, thinking I was just having a driver issue with the new card, but nope. The same thing happen with the old card, no signal.
I then thought, maybe, it was a RAM issue (Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO) because the RAM LEDs were the only LEDs that did not turn on when I powered on the computer. (Side note, I'm not sure if the RAM LEDs should turn immediately when it is powered on or not. My internet research on that wasn't compelling either way.)
I took an old internal speaker and hooked it up to my motherboard (ROG Maximus XII Formula from ASUS) to see if I could get some beeps, but nothing.
I've pulled the mother board out of the case, I've tried 2 different GPU's, I've tried No GPU's, 2 different PSU, 1 Stick of RAM, 2 sticks of RAM, No RAM, disconnected all hard drives and peripherals,reseeded reseated the CPU, nothing makes any difference.
The Q-Code just says 00.
Is it the motherboard or the RAM??? I'm stuck.
