Hello Everybody,

I put my first pc build together a couple of days ago but its not posting. All my fans are getting enough power to run them. However, the system never displays an image on the monitor or anything. All I have been able to get so far is a black screen. Haven't even reached BIOS.

I have rebuilt it a couple more times with friends that have experience in building pc's and we still weren't able to make it work.
I have tried both RAM sticks, and single stick in different configurations, with and without the video card. I have also tried HDMI/VGA outputs off both the mobo and GPU.

This is my set up:
CPU: Intel i5 - 4690k
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper Evo 212
MOBO: Asus Z87-A ATX
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws (2x4GB)
Storage: Sandisk 128GB SSD / 1TB Seagate Barracude HHD
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 750Ti
PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze

I am guessing the mobo is bad because I don't see any other reason to why it wouldn't work. Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have read through and tried the troubleshooting thread and still no luck.

Thanks

Well, I think you could try. I would rather get it to the shop but you could try. Get the cheapest z97 mobo with sli you can find if you end up buying one.
