Problems with new build. (how I used to smile when I read that
Background:Am now near geriatric ex PC engineer, started in days of DOS 2.0 and 8080 through to Win 7 and last of the Pentiums, then was forced to fix printers for last 10 years.
How my heart sank to hear the words 'Oh it's the printer man@ as printers are all created to be as perverse, awkward and messy as human ingenuity can devise!
Have now undertaken to update my equally aging Athlon 32 bit 3GB '25fps in Warthunder' flying PC into something to fly into the sunset with..
I have therefore bought the following,
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU - It dropped in like silk
Asus Prime X570-P - Wow what are all these new bits?
2 x 8 GB Corsair Vengence DDR4 3200 - Science fiction specifications, in just a decade?
AeroCool Integrator 700W PSU - Blimey, that is more powerfull than my microwave!
GTX 1660 Graphics. Specs here blew my mind and it is only mid-range?
But,
Rig is not powering up. Unable to hear any beep code have tried an old two pin speaker on both ground/speaker and ground/5v on new boards 4 pin speaker connector
but hear nothing on power up and the only sign of activity are the fans gently spinning.
Also tried old 350W psu with only 24 and 4 pin power leads with same result, voltages on both were within spec.
All connections gently remade several times.
Have tried running with just bare board and CPU then each stick of ram individually in each slot but no change to above start
Question My new 700W Aerocool Integrator PSU has the 24 and 8 pin connections but nothing to put in to the third 4 pin ATX power socket connection - do I need a special
PSU or should my machine run with only the 8+24 connections made?
Searches on the internet suggest that the 4 pin ATX socket is for extreme oclocking, so maybe it should be ok with just the main two plugged in.. ? Memory swaps made no diff' etc.
If I am unable to pin down the fault to either me or a specific bit of hardware, I may have to return the mobo, CPU and the PSU as I have run out of ideas as which to blame
and would feel ashamed to send all three.
Any help would be much appreciated and as soon as possible as I need to pin down any fault for I only have a short return period if there are any faulty items in my recent order.
A solution would earn my undying gratitude and an optional old cat.
