Hello guys! I would like to address an issue I am currently having with my new PC build. Just to let you all know I am new to PC building, and you might say this was a silly mistake on my end.
Now, to get to the problem. My problem is that I am unable to boot up my PC to the BIOS menu. When I start up the PC, I am not receiving any start-up beeps to signal something wrong with the system and everything seems to be running smoothly (fans are all running, lights are all on, etc.).
I am using my HDTV as a monitor at the moment, and am running a HDMI cable between my tower and the TV. However, I am unable to receive a signal on my TV. I have tried 2 other HDTV's and have had no success either and have also tried a VGA cable, with no luck. Due to this I am also unable to download my OS (Windows 8) onto the PC.
Once I couldn't receive a signal, I decided to open up the tower to look at my parts to see if something wasn't connected properly. After finding nothing wrong with the wiring, I decided to look at the MOBO and CPU. I took out the CPU and when I looked at it, I did notice some bent pins on the CPU, in which I bent back in place without breaking any of them and replaced it into the MOBO. I was still unable to receive a signal to the TV after this.
These are my current parts:
CPU - AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GFX - EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB Superclocked Video Card
PSU - EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
Case - Thermaltake VL80001W2Z ATX Mid Tower Case
I would really like to know if you have any other suggestions before I go out and buy a new CPU.
I am willing to listen to any suggestion you guys have and would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!
