Question PC not starting

[angusb143]

When I press the power button, the pc doesn’t doesn’t boot. It turns on for half a second with about half a fan rotation - shown here

New, or old setup? What motherboard?

New, or old setup? What motherboard?

RAM, AIO - Kraken M22 and PSU brand new. Motherboard and cpu about just under a year old and gpu over a year old. (I got the ram and aio before the psu and the same thing happened with the old psu)

If starting the board outside the case, only CPU and CPU cooler installed, no other wires than the power cables and the CPU cooler ones, still same issue?

So no ram or anything?

 

[alexoiu]

No RAM, no case fans, no storage drives, USB, audio, or front panel wires. Only CPU, CPU cooler, 24 and 8 pin power cables. Start the board by shorting the 2 pins corresponding to the case power button and see if the CPU fan does continuously spin.

Thanks, the fans did spin after I tired that. But I also started adding a few mor components back in, and it seems that the only time it happens is when the ram is in. If there’s not ram everything works fine

Try testing different memory, if possible.

 

[angusb143]

I tried some old crucial ddr4 ram, same thing happens as with the new ram

 

[alexoiu]

Same issue with each RAM slot?

 

[angusb143]

Unfortunately yes.

This is me trying with and without ram, with the two different sticks. I tried both sticks in the different slots after the video

 

[alexoiu]

Then board, or CPU, I'd say. I would RMA them both, if under warranty and start also with a new pair of RAMs.

I’ve taken out my cpu and had a look at it and there seems to be what looks like some thermal paste on the pins. Do you happen to know how I’d remove it?

 

[alexoiu]

Try with some isopropyl, a magnifying glass and a sharpen tool.

I’ve done that. And re is talked everything. The RAM now works and in conjunction with everything although no image is displaying on my screen and it’s double booting

 

[alexoiu]

Are you connecting the monitor to the graphics card, and not to motherboard?

 

[angusb143]

Are you connecting the monitor to the graphics card, and not to motherboard?

Yes, but it’s stuck in a boot loop

 

[alexoiu]

Try testing each RAM slot and each RAM module. Make sure that you are inserting them all the way in.

 

[angusb143]

I’ve done that but nothing happened. Here’s a video of what is happening

Try attaching an internal speaker and see if any beeps when starting the board with no RAMs.

 

[angusb143]

sorry, didn’t get round to replying, I unfortunately don’t have a speak that I can plug in

 

[angusb143]

Bump - bought a speaker, it makes 6 beeps then 8 with 2 sticks of ram in and 3 beeps then 8 with 1 stick of ram

 

[alexoiu]

What beeps getting when starting the board with all RAMs removed?
