New CPU build, No display to monitor and now random shutdown

[brandon.james1892]

So, I have asrock 970a-g/3.1, AMD fx9590. Evga 750 80+gold rating psu. 750ti GPU. 2 sticks of 4gb ram Ripjaws ddr3-1600, and 2 8gb xpg adata ddr3-1866 sticks.

The problem initially is the motherboard is getting power. Its providing power to fans, liquid cooling. Everything is running, even GPU fans are spinning but there is no display through hdmi, or dvi. And I've tried 2 of the same card in each slot, and display output for both. No success.

Now the whole thing is shutting down after running for maybe 30 seconds, if that.

O yeah, last fun part. Mobo Speaker wont spit out a single sequence so help diagnose, purchased 3 more and one of those 3 work either.

Any advice or ideas is greatly appreciated. I've got a solid 12+ hours of troubleshooting, and about 8+ of others trying to troubleshoot

Try a single stick of RAM

Things I'd try:

- Just one stick of ram
- is the 8 pin cpu power connection connected?
- reset cmos

Just did. No change. Timing how long it takes to shut itself off too. Was 2.5min. Then 40sec

Going at 1.5min now but still no display. Power is there. Fans running

Just shut off at 2.5 minutes again. Tried after that and total shut down at 30 seconds

Computer will not stay powered on more than 2.5minutes and no visual output. Over the weekend working on it (no different parts added) this was not a problem. First time exhibiting these symptons

So it WAS a running computer? What changes have been made? Or did it just suddenly stop booting up?

 

[brandon.james1892]

It's a brand new build, it was 'running' before. Basically wasn't randomly shutting down, but was not displaying anything for monitor. Now when it runs for over 30 seconds it's a gamble when it shuts down and still no video. No posting, nothing. I'm guessing the mobo is just DoA, but why would it still be providing power to everything?

 

[jimthenagual]

The hard part about troubleshooting is, you just don't know until you swap out a part sometimes.

Could be DoA
-mobo
-cpu
-ram
-psu

Run through this checklist first, just to rule out a simple mistake (which we all do sometimes)

 

[brandon.james1892]

Yeah. Sending the board back. Ran through the list. Pretty much everything I've done this past weekend. Is what it is
