First build not working have a weird restart loop please help

[dimatkachuk2607]

Hello guys

First of all my setup:

Gpu gtx 960 4gb dual fan (reused from older pc)

Psu seasonic 620 evo (reused)

Motherboard asrock ab350 pro4

Cpu ryzen 5 1600 with amd cooler

Ram 2x8 trident z 3200mhz sticks ddr4

Crucial mx300 525 gb sata 2.5

S340 case

I have not tried anything yet guys so please help me out here I was very careful building and started first with the power supply plugging it in the outlet and touching the case every few minutes for grounding

The probelm right now is the computer boots up all fans running nothing on screen for about 10 15 seconds and restart loop. I think i got everything right i am just no
t sure what rhe problem is

Hi, have you connected the 8 pin power cable to the motherboard?

Hi, have you connected the 8 pin power cable to the motherboard?

Hi that is the one that says cpu on it and splits to 4 pin headers from 8 right? Both are connected to the atx12v1 connector.

So far ive tried my old ssd and nothing

Ive tried each ram stick in each slot 4 times and nothing

I think its either cpu mobo or ram even though i tested the ram who knows or one of the many cables


I will try reconnecting that cpu cable if thats the one you meant some more help would be great thanks

Sorry for spelling mistakes i am on my phone no computer right now

Then I'd try testing different RAM model, if possible.

 

[dimatkachuk2607]

Sadly i have no other ddr4 sticks i Can try but both of this are on the qvl list and from a reputable company

Are you sure they might be the problem? I tried every comination with them.

Can you even oot without any ram stick?

 

[alexoiu]

No, it needs RAMs for booting. Hard to say. An internal speaker would help.

 

[dimatkachuk2607]

Ive tried my headphones and earphones both in usb and audio slot hear no beep or sound does that help?

Also the hd audio is connected

MERGED QUESTION
Question from dimatkachuk2607 : "First buils not working could use some help"

So here are some specs first

Cpu ryzen 5 1600

Gpu gtx 960 4gb (reused)

Mobo asrock ab350 pro4

Psu seasonic 620 evo (reused)

Ram trident z 2x8gb 3200mhz( tried each stick separately with no luck)

Case s340


So far i have tried each ram stick alone with no luck it just boots for 15 seconds nothing on screen and restarts

I connected a 4 pin cpu cable from my psu that splits from 8 pins to the 12v connection by thr cpu but there ar e 8 pins i just cant seem to connect the other 4 pin split cpu cable or am i not supposed to at all


Please help no idea what to do

If your PSU has a 4+4 pin connector, yes... put them together and use it as an 8-pin. If you absolutely must use just the single 4-pin, it has to go into one side of the 8-pin header to work as per page 29 of your motherboard manual.
If you use just a 4-pin, be aware that OC'ing may overload the wires.

I finally managed to get both cpu 4 pin connectors in and nothing

Tested both ram sticks 4 times individuality in each slot and nothing

I am going to try and build from the start

Do you have any other tips and maybe you know if i miss 1 standoff on the mobo or something like that will it not boot? I couldnt find in the manual how many standoffs it has but i think i got all except one that has no hole in the case

If you have too few standoffs it will make no difference in the operation of the machine. But if you've added a standoff where one doesn't belong, it could be shorting out the back of the board. If I were you, I would take it apart and breadboard it.
Set the board on an insulated surface... like the box it came in. Connect just the CPU/cooler, 1 stick of RAM (check your manual to see if a single stick requires a particular slot), gfx card, monitor (to card, not on-board port), PSU, keyboard. No drives or anything else. To start the system, momentarily short the two pins that the power button would connect to. See if you get a display.
