New PC unable to boot

[rowan_richie]

I recently ordered parts online to build my own gaming computer. A part list is at the bottom of this post. After receiving the parts I completely forgot that my BIOS was not up to date to support my processor. I sent back the motherboard so they could do a BIOS-update for me. The update was successful. I assembled all the parts into my case and to my surprise the system didn’t boot/go into the BIOS when I powered on the computer. All fans run, the LEDs on the ramsticks turn on, everything runs. I just didn’t get a signal on my monitor. I tried reseating all the cables, checking if everything was connected properly (to both the PSU and the motherboard), tried booting with 1 ramstick in all different slots available, removed the GPU, still no signal. I did notice that after the BIOS update was done, I would get a red light beneath the GPU on the motherboard. As far as I know, I should be able to boot without the GPU and get into the BIOS, right? The whole point here is to install windows from a flash drive but I am unable to do so. Any suggestions?

Please provide the EXACT SKU (model number) of your RAM. I had a similar issue with a kit of trident z.

That chip doesn't have integrated graphics so you wouldn't be able to boot to bios. GPU is necessary

Hey, sorry if I'm late...

As the other guy said earlier, if your motherboard has graphics on it you can plug the monitor cable directly to it, if not a graphics card unit is necessary sadly :/

I hope you find a way to work around it, best of luck to you
