GA-H61M-S1 - Not Booting, No Beep sound (not sure if it has a built-in speaker)

[arunnath]

Hey, I've two questions. Can somebody help please?

1. Does this motherboard have a built in speaker? I couldn't find one in the board, I just want to be sure.

2. I'm building a PC but it isn't booting. Its system and processor fans are running. What could be the reason?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
No, there's no built-in case speaker. What CPU using?

 

[arunnath]

Thanks alexoiu.

CPU? You mean the processor (I'm new here!). Intel Core i5 2400. No graphics card or other components. Only the basic things - hard disk and ram.

 

[alexoiu]

No problem. The CPU is supported. What cable using for connecting the monitor to the motherboard?

 

[arunnath]

VGA Cable. I've tried it in another PC, the cable works. Hey, if it helps, only the green light is blinking in the front panel. Normally the red one should also blink right?

Can you post a picture of the board, so that all connections can be seen?

 

[arunnath]

Hey, you there? I'm sorry my connection got lost. Please see the picture below:

just check with an alternate RAM.

I've tested the ram in another mobo and it works. So the issue is with something else! 🙁

Try testing the board outside the case, only CPU and CPU fan installed, both 24 and 4 pin power cables connected. No other cables/connections.
Insert single RAM module and connect the monitor to the motherboard.
Start the board by shortly touching with a screwdriver the 2 pins on the board corresponding to the case power switch. See if the CPU fan does spin and if any signal on monitor.

Thank you so much for the support. However, it got solved when I disconnect the power supply to the speakers (four pins on the mobo).

 

[alexoiu]

You're welcome. There's no header on the motherboard meant to power the speakers.

 

[arunnath]

Ah, my bad. I didn't burn it down anyway! It's working, still.

Great Good luck!
