First build not booting not beeping

[DanyXGold]

Yesterday I've finally started assembling my first PC ever and everything was going as planned (at least so I thought ) but when I was turned it in it just didn't boot(no beeping and no signal on the monitor),the fans and the leds stared working but nothing else.
The very first time I turned it on it actually turned off after a few seconds then I turned it on again and it just stood there with the leds on and the fans spinning(still no signal on the monitor)

These are my specs:

CPU: Intel i5 4460
Motherboard: H97 Gaming 3
RAM:G.Skill RipJaws 8GB
GPU : MSi GTX 970
PSU: Seasonic M12II-620 EVO
CASE: NEXT H440
SSD : Samsung 850 EVO 120 GB
HDD : Seagate barracuda 1 TB
CPU cooler: Intels stock cooler
Wireless adapter: Asus PCE-N15

What cold be causing the problem?

PS: Sorry if there are some mistakes, English isn't my first language.

Right Dany,

Here is your check list, check it in order ok.

1.First of all if you look between the two red Vrm heat sinks of the motherboard you will see a eight pin power block (E-atx 12v). from the power supply unit to the motherboard this must be connected, as the system will not full post if you have not connected it.

Here is a picture link to your motherboard, you can see the eight pin power block between the two Red heat sinks in black to the top left of the picture, by clicking on the third picture from the link. It has to be connected for the board to fully power up and post.

Make sure all extra power to the GTX 970 card is connected direct from the PSU to the six and eight power pins of the GTX 970 card if required.


2. Look in your manual that came with your motherboard and read the section to do with the memory slots of the motherboard. It will tell you where the memory stick, or sticks should be placed in what order depending on how many you have to fit into the system. This is important because placing the memory stick in the wrong slot of the board can stop it posting, depending on the model and brand of motherboard you have, so it must be checked.

3.If you have a Pci-e based graphics card in the Pci-e slot of the motherboard. To get a video signal to the monitor you must first connect the video cable to the video ports on your motherboard, either the 15pin dsub, or the Dvi video port.

When you power your system up, if you have a Pci-e grapchics card in the Pci-e slot of the motherboard.
You must enter the bios of the motherboard.
Find the settings page or menu that deals with graphics card settings.
You need to set the interface mode option to Pci-e, or Peg mode, save the new settings made in the bios before you exit it.

Swap the video cable from the back of the motherboard and connect it to any video output port of the Pci-e based GTX 970 graphics card.
Restart the system and the video output of the board will now be displayed via the GTX 970 card in the Pci-e slot of the motherboard.

Let me know if you got it all working Dany ok.

1 . I've connected it.
2. I did check the manual and they were in the wrong slot, I changed It but still nothing (not sure if I have to do something after changing them).
3.I've tried using all the video outputs (Motherboard and GPU)

If you have not done so try and reset the bios via the factory reset pins on the motherboard.
Then try to power the system up again, if you have not done so.

Can I ask what the brand of your power supply is Dany, and how many watts is it rated at ?
Could you also read off how many amps it states on the 12v power rails of the PSU.

Just to double check, is the memory a single 8gb stick, or a pair of two 4Gb memory sticks. and at what speed rating.

 

[DanyXGold]

The PSU ia a Seasonic M12II-620 620W (can't tell how many amps because I'm not home right now)and the RAM is a pair of two 4 GB sticks , 1600Mhz

Ok dany,

PM me, when you get home to have a look in the mean time I`m going to go through the manual for the motherboard, and check the cpu compatibility list of the board, it`s bios revison and updates, plus the memory compatibly list.

See what I can find out that may be causing the problem.

OK , I'll be home in about 4 hours.
Thanks for your help
