Parts include:
Asus H61MA USB3-motherboard
PSU topwer 650 watt
500GB HGST hard drive
Coolmaster TX3 Fan
I3 2130 cpu
Rosewill Blackbone Case
Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3 2x4gb Silicon power RAM
So the computer will turn on and stay on with all fans and lights working just fine (as well as the dvd drive when we have it plugged in). Things we've done: made sure that the 4pin and 20pin psu->mobo connections are fine. However, the keyboard has no power and the monitor receives no signal. No beeps are given (though it is capable of beeps)
Things we've tried
Resetting the CMOS battery
Taking out/switching/minimizing RAM (will give Long-Short-Short beep when RAM is out)
Resetting the CLRTC pins
Switching power supplies.
Unplugging the hard drive and dvd drive.
Made sure that its set to 110v on the psu.
We read somewhere that taking off the fan and turning on the comp for a couple seconds before shutting it down to feel the cpu get warm is a method for ensuring that it works. We tried that and felt no heat change.
We haven't yet switched out the cpu or returned the motherboard.
Any help or suggestions would be immensely appreciated. I've built several computers and this is baffling to me.
