Question No POST beep and no visuals

[bobaryn]

Hi All,

I'm working on my first build with these specs:
Motherboard: Asus Prime B450m-a
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
RAM: 2x Corsair RGB 8GB
GPU: GTX 1660 Ti
PSU: Corsair 750W

Unfortunately after much work setting it up I've not been able to get it to boot successfully. I've set up the Power Switch to the pins, connected the Motherboard ATX power supply and the CPU power supply. I've also tried reseating both the RAMs and the CPU but no success. Lastly I've tried switching to another motherboard but get the same issue.

Do I have a faulty CPU somehow? Its odd as it is brand new.

did you put the speaker for beep codes?

Thanks! I managed to get it working after connecting the speaker as you suggested. I was getting one long beep followed by three short beeps. Ended up needing to connect my graphics card (for some reason the onboard motherboard graphics card wasn't working).

so now everythings working? if so, dont forget to update the bios to the latest (3802), install windows, install the latest chipset driver from amd web (should be ver 4.03.03) and nvidia driver from geforce web. if you could do it all offline so that windows update wont interfere (you dont want drivers via win update XD)

There is no mobo graphics with the 3600 cpu you must use a gpu.

Yep everything is working now and I’ve installed windows from a bootable USB. Glad I finally got it working, I was very close to just throwing the towel and getting a new prebuilt PC. Thanks again for all your help
