Possible Defective CPU

[Mack Bell]

Just recent put together a computer and can't get it to post. Wasn't getting any beeps out of the speaker so I removed the ram to see if it would, sure enough it did give me the code for the missing ram. Removed the GPU and I got 5 beeps (short process error) but I know you will get that if your CPU and MotherBoard do not have integrated graphics, so I plug the GPU back in and no beeps no post, but the CPU start to put out enormous heat. I don't know where to go from here, have no other hardware that I can interchange.

Specs:
AMD FX-8320 Black Edition
ASRock 970A-G/3.1
MSI GTX 1060 6GB
Gskill RipJaws 1866Mhz 2x8gb
RoseWill Hive 650W

Do you have a cooler on the CPU?

 

[Greg Gregorich]

sounds like memory issue.i didnt see the model.

Sorry forgot to put down the Ram, Gskill Ripjaws 1866mhz 2x8gb, just got off support with ASRock and from the information I told them my Motherboard is posting, however I'm still not getting any video out of the card. and yes I have a hyper 212 evo on the CPU

Can you try just 1 stick of Ram?

 

[Greg Gregorich]

did the cpu fan spins,may help check cpu for bent pins.

 

[Mack Bell]

no bent pins on the CPU, yes the fans spin up, and I tried both dimms of ram individually in every slot, after the phone call with ASRock and what they told me it now looks like it is a faulty GPU or a compatibility issue between the gpu and the motherboard (said the tech at MSI)

 

[Rogue Leader]

I find the compatibility issue unlikely but possible. Can you get your hands on another GPU to test? If so updating to the latest BIOS may cure the issue.

No sadly I have no other hardware to interchange to attempt to resolve this issue, and I don't see how I could update the BIOS without having video output.

 

[Rogue Leader]

I agree. without that you're stuck. May as well try exchanging the video card maybe its defective. Unlikely but possible.

make sure you install all power cables for gpu and via hdmi or dvi cable to monitor installed.
