Newly built pc boots but no display

[joly156]

I recently built a new pc and I was able to boot properly but I was greeted with no signal on my monitors. I checked my mother board when booting and dram flashes and then vga stays a solid red for about five seconds. I’m not really sure what this means so any help is appreciated.

I5-9600k rtx 2070 msi z370 gaming m5 Corsair 600 w psu Samsung 850 evo Noctua nh-u9s 8x2 gb G.Skill Ripjaws V series at 2400mhz

Does the Z370 motherboard have the required BIOS update to support the 9600K?

What "600w" PSU?

The motherboard is brand new so unless the bios update came with it then no. And the psu is a Corsair cx600.

Then in all likelihood, that motherboard does not support the CPU "out of the box".

I don't believe that board specifically supports BIOS flashing without a compatible CPU, so your options are either:
1. Return the board and buy a Z390 board
2. Buy the cheapest compatible CPU (probably a $50 G4900) and perform the BIOS flash, then change CPUs.

OR
3. Talk to a local store, see if they'll flash it for you, for a fee.


The CX600 is not great. Personally I'd look to replace that with something of better quality.

I purchased a g4900 also do you have any recommendations on a psu?

This is a great price for a quality PSU:
FOCUS GOLD, Seasonic 550W

Although, the newer Focus+ 550W, Platinum unit is a very good price too:

Would I need psu with a higher wattage for overclocking?

So I got the g4900 today, installed it into my pc and I still had the long red light under vga on my mobo. I once again switched out my old gtx 1060 (working card) and received the same red light under vga with no signal to the monitor. Is this a problem with the motherboard?

 

[Barty1884]

What happens if you use the iGP of the G4900?

 

[joly156]

Sorry I’m not familiar with iGP?

 

[Barty1884]

The integrated graphics, connecting your monitor to the motherboards display out and removing the GPU alltogether.

 

[joly156]

Yes I tried that as well and I had the same problem my monitor said no signal and vga light was on.
