Is the Motherboard dead?

[SnappyDragon2]

Hi all,

Before posting I did a lot of reading around on the forums but can’t quite find an answer, so before I go out and spend more money I thought I’d see if anyone has more ideas.

I recently decided to build my 12yo her own PC I had a bunch of components from my old PC so decided to make use of those and just buy the key things I was missing i.e. a psu, case and monitor.

The build is;

Mono: Asus p8p67
CPU: 2500k
GPU: GTX 770
Ram: Corsair DDR3
PSU: corsair 650w

Everything powers on ok lights, case fans, cpu fan, GPU fan all running nicely and nothing hot to the touch.

The issue I have is that i’m Getting no output from the gpu to the monitor (I’m using a known working monitor).

My first thought was the GPU so I swapped out for a known working GPU but still nothing. I tried both PCie slots.

I tried swapping out the RAM sticks but again everything appears to work but no output to monitor - I only have sticks 2 available and can’t confirm they work as my system uses ddr4 but it seems unlikely both would be dead?

Unfortunately I don’t have a mobo speaker (god knows which bits drawer it’s in) so i’m not getting any beeps.

The p8p67 doesn’t have onboard gfx so I can’t test it that way

I don’t have another board to test the cpu on

So what could have everything powered up and spinning but getting no output. I’m left with mobo/ram or cpu as the culprit.

The only other thing of note is when I power it on after about 3 seconds it does a quick restart but then stays on (I’ve had pc’s do this before so didn’t think much of it).

Right now i’m thinking that I may well have to go out and get a new mobo/cpu bundle deal which is a bit devastating and defeats my initial cost saving plan.


Any leads or suggestions gratefully received before I go spend more money

Do you use any adapter? or just cable?

Also try boot the PC without any RAM to see what happens, make sure clear the CMOS first.

Hi Cin19 thanks for the suggestion.

I just tried with without any RAM and got the same result.

I also cleared the cmos and removed the battery just to be certain but no change.

I now think to see if I could buy a used replacement board in the hope that the cpu is fine and that would be all that’s required but. A bit nervous of throwing good money after bad.
