Hi guys,
this is my first post here and I really need your help.
I've recently built a PC for my brother, but it won't POST.
I've already read this thread, but it didn't help: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
Here's the specs:
Motherboard: MSI 760G-P43 FX (Socket AM3+)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 BE 965
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600MHZ 4GB CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9
GPU: Asus 650 Ti Direct Cu II
PSU: Corsair CX 430M
Here's what I've came up with so far:
~ The GPU works, I've tried it on my PC so it's not the problem.
~ The RAM works, tried it on my system and it runs perfectly
~ The PSU should not be the problem, as I tried this system with my Corsair TX 650M and still no POST
~ With everything un-installed but the CPU, Heatsink and Motherboard I get 3 long beeps, probably indicating missing RAM (as expected). This should indicate that Motherboard and CPU are fine, right?
~ If I install the ram, I get no beeps at all
~ The monitor works fine, tried it with my system
~ Cleared CMOS, still no luck
~ Hold Power Button for 30-60 seconds with all cables unplugged, still no luck
~ Changed the Motherboard battery, still no luck
All the cables are correctly plugged in.
So it seems that everything works fine, but still no POST and no display.
It also seems strange that with RAM installed I get no beeps at all, even if the RAM is tested and working on another system.
Could it be that the Corsair Vengeance is not compatible with my motherboard (even if states that supports DDR3 1600MHZ RAMs)?
I don't know what else to try, I'm completely lost. Any ideas?
PS: sorry for some english mistakes ^^
