My build:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus B360M Aorus Gaming 3
CPU: Intel Core i7-9700F
RAM: 1 stick, HyperX Fury, 16GB
Graphics: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660
SSD: Kingston A400, 480GB
Power supply: EVGA 650W
120mm fan
Hi,
So this is the first time I've built a PC. I work in the tech industry, but I'm awful with hardware, so I had my reservations from the start.
Once everything was in place, I've turned on; all the lights blinked, all the fans turned, but nothing on the screen. Also, the VGA led keeps blinking.
I went through all items in this list "https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq...deo-output-troubleshooting-checklist.1575220/" , but still nothing.
So after searching here, I've found out that even though my CPU is listed as supported in the Motherboard, it isn't from the factory, and I need to update the BIOS.
This Motherboard has a utility called q-flash that lets me updated the bios without having to boot the OS. Still, every video I found of someone updating the bios, the person can get 'something' on the screen, and I can't get anything!
After more digging around, I've discovered that my processor doesn't have video output, so I need to use the graphic cards, but still, nothing. I've found videos on youtube of people with the same Motherboard that I have but with different CPU (but still 9th gen). A guy on youtube suggested that My power supply wasn't strong enough. All power supply simulators that I've found say that 600w should be more than enough, But I do think that the fans are turning really slow, but as I've never had a pc, I have no way to know.
So, what are my options here? Should I be able to get something on the screen even though my Motherboard does not support my CPU without a Bios Update? Do I need a better PSU?
Anything helps guys. I've built this pc to have something to do in the quarantine, and the thing I'm mostly doing now it's feeling dumb.
