Help a new builder

[whitebeard162]

I built a new pc and here are the specs CPU: i5-8400
Motherboard: Asus Rog B360g
GPU: Zotac 1070TI extreme amp
Ram: 1 Stick 8gb ddr4
CASE NEXT h500
Psu: Evga 550W G3
My problem is I haven't installed windows yet and i only have a tv and i tried to to connect my pc using HDMI but it won't post I tried removing my gpu and using the MOTHERBOARD HDMI but still no result.

Are there any signs of life? Are the fans spinning or LEDs lit up?

Try the stick of RAM in the other slots.

 

[whitebeard162]

Everything is working fine my fans are running and the MOTHERBOARD lights and the gpu lights and i checked all the cables everything is in the right place

 

[terry4536]

Both the I5-8400 and ASUS ROG STRIX B360-G GAMING support integrated graphics, So there is no problem there.

I have tried disconnecting the gpu and connecting HDMI to the MOTHERBOARD but nothing seems to work

Here are two troubleshooting checklists on this topic.

Are you sure your TV is OK?
Have you got another HDMI device you can plug into?

 

[whitebeard162]

Did everything on list yesterday

 

[whitebeard162]

So u know I have downloaded windows

 

[terry4536]

I would suggest unplugging the 24-pin and the CPU power cable and then plug them back in. Since the EVGA G3 550 watt PSU is modular, do the same at both ends of the cables.

The 550 watt power supply is sufficient for the graphics card. The ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Ti AMP Extreme requires 500 watts and a 6-pin and 8-pin PCIE power cable.

Has the motherboard ever passed POST? Do you have a case speaker or one that you can borrow? It would provide some diagnostics of the problem.

Here is an example.

[whitebeard162]

No sadly I can't but the MOTHERBOARD glows red when its powerd on

 

[terry4536]

Have you tried reseating the CPU? Are there any diagnostic LEDs lit up on the motherboard? They will be detailed in the motherboard manual.

Also since these are new components, keep an eye on the return period of the retailer where they were purchased. Depending upon where you purchased them from you have 30 days to return components. If the deadline is looming, return the RAM, motherboard and CPU (if the problem isn't resolved).

Some people told to use a moniter a vga cable will it make a difference ?

That depends upon the monitor. If you are using a TV, HDMI is probably your only route. But if you have a VGA monitor cable and your TV has a VGA input, you can try it. It would be a test on the HDMI cable. Or try another HDMI cable. Or even try a different TV.

 

[terry4536]

So u know I have downloaded windows

Were you able to install it? Or did you just download it?

 

[whitebeard162]

I have tried different HDMI and different tv's but haven't tired vga or a moniter just wondering if that is a cause .

 

[whitebeard162]

No there is no display on my screen

Another thing to try is breadboarding the motherboard. It will help narrow the possible problems. It also eliminates problems with the motherboard grounding to the case.

By the way were the standoffs installed?

[whitebeard162]

Yeah i made sure that the stand off screws were installed in the correct place and got rid of the rest

 

[whitebeard162]

I have tried breadboarding the same thing am really sad about my entry to the pc world

It is a simple mistake, but you would be surprised how often it comes up.

 

[whitebeard162]

I just checked every screw is on it's place

Without being able to tell where the problem is, it is hard to troubleshoot. Try purchasing a case speaker (they are just a few $). That will help.


But be prepared to return the RAM motherboard, and CPU before the return period ends.

 

[whitebeard162]

About the return period the MOTHERBOARD only thing that have insurance but the rest don't the return period here in Saudi Arabia is 3 days so i think I am fucked if it doesn't work on monitor
