hihi I'm a new builder and I'm not quite sure how I can possibly fix the problem I'm having !!--
I built my first ever completely fresh build with high hopes in mind, and at the moment of truth: her lights and fans turn on and gives a post! The ASRock screen tells me to press F2 or Delete to enter the UEFI setup, and as soon as I attempt to open it, black screen. I try resetting my system. It happens again. I tried reseating the gpu, reseating the memory, taking off extension cables, different hdmi cables.... I thought about possibly flashing the bios to the newest version; I'm not sure how I can flash the bios without y'know... getting into the bios. I am thinking about taking it all apart and putting it back together, or trying to swap around the memory sticks, or attempt to take out the cmos battery and do that trick. I'm not getting any error beeps so I'm not quite sure what the problem is so I've been going down a few troubleshooting lists and a friend of mine who is smarter than me with this stuff suggested the PSU may not be enough for my system (i don't have the money for a new one so I hope that isn't the problem <~<) . I'm pretty lost so I'm hoping someone here can suggest some things I could try.. !!
