Hey all,
I've done some forum dredging and have found similar problems to mine but the solutions don't seem to work for my problem. (short on the MB etc)
Basically I've built a PC for my friend and all the parts was compatible with the motherboard has he got them off pcpartspicker.
After assembling everything i fired it up but got no display. i searched and searched and the same problems was appearing but not with my MB.
I took the CPU off, checked for pins and 1 was slightly bent, i managed to straighten it under a magnifying glass, reseated and carried on assembling out of the case.
I powered it up and the LED debug lights was flashing CPU for a split second then lit up DRAM for a slightly longer pause then it would repeat. Still no Display.
I then tried with 1 stick of RAM in 1 of the 2 slots on my MB, Leaving the other empty. The lights flashed back and forth then stayed lit up on DRAM, so i powered down, changed it over to the other RAM slot, same thing happened. I done the same thing with both sticks and it done the same on both. Stayed lit on DRAM after about a minute of alternate flashing.
I cant figure for the life of me why it wont give me display, the RAM i have says its compatible with with MB but I'm having doubts or is this a more sinister problem.
Motherboard is a MSI H310M Pro M2 Plus
Ram is Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 16GB ( x2 )
CPU is Intel i5-9600F
When i checked to see if everything should marry up it did say some boards may need a BIOS update but i don't have a spare LGA 1151 socket CPU to hand to even attempt to get it to fire up and be able to update it (That's if its even the problem)
Everything lights up and works as it should when fully assembled and inside the case which had me scratching my head even more.
Id be absolutely grateful if anyone can shine any light on a fix or is it a scratched MB and order another one
Thanks
Karl
