MSI H110M with Intel Core i3-6100 3M Will not Post no video

[Mark Endsley]

lights come one, fan spins, but no beep and no video output. Removing the Ram causes it to beep a few times. adding in the 1050 we are doing the build with doesn't seem to change anything.

We are using a VGA cable and plugging it into the motherboard

The RAM we are using is Avexir Core Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200)

Here are links to all the parts we are using

Did we do some type of parts mismatch? Some people have suggested updating the BIOS but I don't see how I could do that with the state it is in.


Thank you

did you conencted the 4 pin power cable for the cpu?

can you try to use only one ram module?

the cpu, did you installed it properly? no bent pins on the socket?

sometimes the mainboard will make work the ddr at the maximum speed possible, so it should unless the mainboard is problematic and that is the problem, put only one stick on the slot 1 and try again

We did try it with just 1 stick and it gave the same result. I'm trying to decide if we should return the RAM in favor of 2133 RAM

 

[atljsf]

don't return it yet, try with another ram module if you have, otherwise return it

Ok, unfortunately I don't have any spare ddr4 sticks. I guess we will see if we can return it.

when a situation like this happens i like to return parts after i know they are not working, here you aare not sure

could be the ram or could be any other thing

could you post a picture of the pc, the mainboard, could be a matter of a cable not connected

you haven't installed the gpu?

i don't see clearly the cpu fan connector, should be the one on theright side on the top, right?

is it only with 1 ram module correct?

have you tried to remove all the power leds and buttons and just try to connect the power button?

are you connecting to the mainboard gpu via what cable?

that waterblock, for a i3, isn't too much?

 

[Mark Endsley]

We took the GPU out for now because we don't have a monitor that can hook to it. we are plugging into the back of the motherboard. In this image we have reinserted the second RAM stick but we tried it with just one. We have tried with just the Power Switch and the reset switch but not just the power switch. We are trying it with a VGA cable on a monitor that we know works with that. Yeah it probably is too much but he wanted a watercooler so we went with it.

 

[Mark Endsley]

The first fan connector is cpu fan, the second one is sys fan

 

[atljsf]

remember to connect the cpu fan to the pump, otherwise system will believe that you have no heatsink or fan for cpu and will not work

the sys_fan connector, could be used for the fan on the aio block

 

[Mark Endsley]

Ok, I'm going to have him switch their places and see if that fixes it.

 

[Mark Endsley]

Ok, we tried switching their places and we are still getting the same result

 

[atljsf]

then could be the ram not responding or the mainboard not cooperating, without more parts to diagnose or another pc to try the ram, i can't recomend you what to change here now

 

[Mark Endsley]

Ok I appreciate your help, its looking like we may just have to try returning that RAM for a different kind and hope that works

 

[atljsf]

sounds like a step one, yes
