PC Building woes.

[SimplyGhost]

Hello I am new to the community and I've been reading questions already posted and decided I needed help more specific to my situation so I decided to ask myself. Before I explain my problem here are my specs:

Gigabyte H110M- A Motherboard
Gigabyte GTX 1050Ti Graphics Card
EVGA 500W PSU
Ballistix 8GB RAM Stick
Intel core i3 Processor

About a week ago after ordering everything I needed I took my first crack at building a gaming PC. To my dismay when I was done and powered up my PC, it didn't boot. BIOS didn't run and my screen remained black. The PC did power on and all the fans were running (except the graphics card, the fans star but then stop) and the LED's turned on. After I bought a system speaker to test POST Beeps I always get infinite beeps. I would really like help knowing what the problem is and how to fix it. Or what I need to replace.

Which model i3 is it? H110 works with 6th gen i3 like the 6100, if building a new system with h110 and a 7th gen kaby lake cpu like an i3 7100 there will most likely be a compatibility problem. 7th gen cpu's are meant to be used with h270 or other 200 series boards. They can work with older 100 series boards but will need a bios update and to do that you'd need a 6th gen cpu.

Once sorting out which cpu model it is and determining if there's a compatibility problem, further steps can be taken.

Yep I'd guess you have a 7*** i3 and got a board with an older bios. H110 boards initially only supported 6*** series chips.. few options here to try, 1 buy a used skylake Celeron for a few bucks and update the BIOS, take your board to a computer shop and have them UPDATE the bios, try and return the board and buy a b250 board

My i3 is a 6300 model

You get infinite beeps, have you counted them to make sure there's not a pause? It can be important. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 short beeps are all codes for different things. That's quite a few so you need to count, make sure it's not making 10 or 11 short beeps with a brief pause, then another 10-11 short beeps. If it is in fact infinite short beeps (and you've counted past 15 or so with no pauses) then it sounds like a power supply issue.

That's according to gigabyte's page regarding their bios.

Have you double checked that all power connections are firmly in place? Both the 20+4 pin mainboard power and the 4/8 pin cpu power? If you have access to another psu you can try using a different one. If not you may have to go to a shop and have them test with one of their known working power supplies. If that's not an option you might have to start blindly replacing components without the ability to actually test them.

Just as a guess it could be your psu or motherboard. It's possible the cpu is faulty but that's usually more rare. If the parts are new, see about rma'ing the motherboard and try a replacement. If the same issue crops up then it could be the psu.
