New pc with old graphic.No post. No beeps

[nejc.pasic]

My componets
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard: Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory CMK8GX4M1A2400C16 
Video Card: MSI - Radeon R7 260X


What should i do i have no post no beeps i tryed 2 psu and i switch ram in all slots. But my power suplys had only 4pin 12v on the motherbord are 8 is maybe that the problem?

First try clearing the CMOS. Depending upon the motherboard that may done by jumper , button, or by removing the CMOS battery. That should help with the boot problem provided some component has failed.

 

[terry4536]

If the motherboard provides for an 8-pin CPU power cable, then you should use an 8-pin.

Is this a new build? Has it ever booted up?


Here are two checklists on the topic. Look for anything that may be grounding the motherboard to the case (like a loose screw). Are all of the standoffs installed?

You can try bread-boarding the motherboard. Here are three sets of instructions. Read through them and pick one to follow.

Are there any signs of life? Do the fans spin? Are the LED's lit up? Any diagnostic LED's lit up on the motherboard?

Then go through the checklists first. If that doesn't produce a boot-up, then bread-board it to isolate the problem.

 

[terry4536]

Does the old graphics card work for sure?

 

[nejc.pasic]

Graph work i double chekt in the old sistem. All the fans and led work. I think its the problem with the 4 pin conector i think i need a 8 pin to work

Could be that the old graphics card (this happened with an R7 250E of mine) will not work with a system set for UEFI. I know I had to go into the BIOS (this was an Intel system, so I could use the integrated graphics temporarily) and set the system up to run in legacy BIOS mode.

HOWEVER - what's bothering me right now is this: You mention 4-pin and 8-pin... the R7 260x to the best of my knowledge has a 6-pin connector.

What 4-pin are you talking about? You didn't plug that into the video card, did you?? I think that 4-pin is for the motherboard - hopefully you didn't plug that into the video card's 6-pin connector. If you did, hopefully it didn't kill it.

 

[terry4536]

What is the power supply? A quality power supply should have two 4-pin connectors on the CPU power cable.

If the power supply is adequate power wise (watts), then you can get a molex adapter for the CPU power connector.

 

[nejc.pasic]

No i didnt plug it in the gpu i meen the one on the mother bored i have a conector for 8 pin but my psu has a 4 pin only and i think the cou doesnt get all the power it needs. Becuse all the fans spin and i tryed trubel shoting all the stuf i found

 

[King_V]

Is it really an 8-pin from the PSU, or is it a 6+2? The 6+2 basically is a 6-pin with a 2-pin attached that makes it look like an 8-pin for the cards that need it, but the +2 part is detachable so that you can use the remainder as a 6-pin.

What is the brand and model of the PSU? Can you get a picture of the label on the PSU, and a picture of all the connectors?

 

[King_V]

If the power supply is adequate power wise (watts), then you can get a molex adapter for the CPU power connector.

I would VERY strongly recommend against this.

 

[nejc.pasic]

The psu is old so the 6 pin is 1 only for the gpu bit i have 2 4pin and 1 20 pim the 20 gose with 1 4pin and im left with only 1 4 pin for thw cpu but the cpu needs 8 pin for the power

He is talking about the 4 / 8 pin CPU Power cable.

That is VERY interesting considering you didn't even know what cable we were talking about.

It appears that you need to replace the old power supply.

 

[punkncat]

But my power suplys had only 4pin 12v on the motherbord are 8 is maybe that the problem?

bolded

 

[nejc.pasic]

Im gona try. Gona go buy a new psu tomorow and i hope its ok. And that then the pc will finily boot i need it for school

If it doesn't, we can troubleshoot from there. The system requirements for the RX-260X is 500 watts. I would suggest one like these.

Also, I would check to see if you have a case speaker installed. They aren't usually shipped with the case anymore. If you don't have one, I would suggest purchasing one.

Here is an example.

I went tothe local pc shop we tryedtheramthe psu and thw graphoc and its probably the old bios that i need to updated it

That is VERY interesting considering you didn't even know what cable we were talking about.

Ah, I misunderstood - I thought you meant molex (ie: hdd power) to PCIe adapter.

 

[nejc.pasic]

We tryed all the componets we switch them. Its probobly the bios becuse its an 2 gen ryzen and the motherboard is the b350 and it needs a bios update

 

[terry4536]

It is a possibility. Check your motherboard manual for the statement that it is second generation ready.

At the first of the year when the second generation Ryzen CPU's were released the early motherboards were sold with motherboard BIOS that were completely incompatible. The only solution was returning the motherboard or getting a "boot Kit" from AMD or the motherboard manufacturer.

So it is possible that you bought one of the early production that wasn't recalled.

Just need to weight till tomorow they will get me a first gen ryzen cpu. And we'll try if that will be it i hope so it is
