Turned on and no life. Sometimes single beep.
Tried lots of things (following the video and guides here) - details below.
It was working fine until it stopped working yesterday (OK last weekend).
Current status is that:
- get 'no memory' beeps without DRAM
- evidence of power, e.g. LED's, all fans going, num lock LED on keyboard
Suspect that a component has failed.
Therefore key question is which is the most likely - are there any steps I can take to find out, or do I just buy the cheapest first, replace than and keep going?
motherboard: ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming
CPU: i5-6600K 3.5GHz
DRAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 2666MHz C16 Red
PSU: Corsair VS Series 450W
CPU fan: Artic Cooling Freezer I11 Compact
It did also have (now disconnected/removed):
graphics card: Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
SSD, HDD and DVD drive
Purchased and build 6/4/2016. No problems except DRAM needing reseating once or twice.
Have tried:
- removing and replacing graphics card
- disconnecting and reconnecting SSD, HDD
- different monitor, keyboard, mouse
- DRAM in other slots
- resetting BIOS RAM (incl. removing the battery)
- VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs
Have yet to try:
- reseating the CPU
- full rebuild
It's my son's PC so he's rather dismayed at present.
