I have searched up and down tom's hardware for answers, but no solution has worked for me. I have read the famous "troubleshooting checklist" as well as dozens of other related posts.
Working on my second build for a month now after quitting several times. There have been a series of problems that I've been able to fix but the persistent problem is that I cant get video output to my monitor.
I have tried on 2 different monitors with 3 different HDMI cables and 2 VGA cables, so a bad monitor/cable is out of the question. And yes I am running video out from the GPU not the MOBO.
I have taken apart and reassembled the build about 5 times now, bread-boarding twice, so I'm pretty sure its not some loose or forgotten cable connection.
I feared that a part may have been defective so I purchased a PC analyzer diagnostic tool to find out if there was a faulty part, but the tool seems to be busted as nothing happens when it is hooked up. Hopefully there is a solution to this that doesn't involve having to send back defective parts.
If it is a bad part I think its either the motherboard or CPU, but i doubt its the CPU. But there is really no way for me to know what part is bad, at least not to my knowledge. Everything seems to be working, but I have read that there may still be a problem even if the component powers on and appears to run properly (fans run).
I have tested the PSU separately and with the components and it seems to be working fine as everything is getting power and lighting up.
I haven't gotten any beep codes and I have tried every combination of RAM seating there is.
I pulled my graphics card from my first build and slapped it in to see if the card was the issue, but still no response.
The last thing I plan to try is one final breadboard disassemble and test of each component. I'm stumped and am desperate enough to actually post instead of lurking for solutions.
Here are the specs if it helps:
-i7-5820k with Coolermaster hyper 212 evo CPU fan
-ASRock X99 Extreme4 (LGA 2011-v3)
-Rosewill PHOTON series 850W
-4X4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2666
-Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970
-3TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
-500GB Samsung SSD
