Hey guys,
My recent attempt to build a computer had a very frustrating outcome - no video, no beeps, even though the fans were spinning.
PSU was connected to hard drives, as well as the CPU, GPU, motherboard, so was the speaker hooked on the header. Tried 2 different brands of RAM in different sockets, took out the CMOS, tried taking out components just to get some beeps, different monitors with different connections (HDMI, DVI) - nothing. I am giving it another try with a new motherboard/PSU.
I wonder if anyone could advise on what motherboard/PSU to get for my budget build. My only requirement is that they are compatible with the rest of my components so the computer turns on and I can go further with installing the OS, etc. I haven't got any spare parts for troubleshooting, that's why I want to play super safe this time.
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (new)
GPU - Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 570 ITX 4GB DDR5 (manufacturer refurbished)
RAM - 2x Crucial 8GB DDR4 UDIMM CL19 1.2V 2666mhz CT8G4DFS8266 (new)
SSD - Kingston A400 240GB (new)
HDD - Western Digital WD5000AAKX 500GB (used, temporary solution)
Your help would be very much appreciated.
