I've decided to build my own PC for kicks instead of buying a built one. I wish I went for the latter; I feel like I've screwed myself over...
Here is my current situation:
I did a hardware check before putting everything in my case.
1. installed the CPU
2. installed the heatsink that came with it
3. installed the graphics card + 2 sticks of ram
and plugged everything in + PSU
Everything went fine (I think), the screen came up with Asrock startup screen etc etc
(No beep because I forgot about the speaker)
I took my set up apart, and installed a different cpu cooler instead of the one that came with my CPU. I cleaned the thermal paste and everything, and started putting everything into the case.
After I put EVERYTHING together, I started her up and NOTHING.
I went back, checked the wires and cables, did mad research on everything and took it apart again...
I went back to testing the hardware, starting the with JUST the cpu installed.
Long beeps, so the mobo and CPU and cooler are fine?
I put in one stick of ram and silence.
I'm assuming this is my problem?
Here are my parts:
ASRock z77 extreme 4 mobo
i7 3770k CPU
800 watt COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold Series
Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
gigabyte GeForce GTX 680
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)
I must have done something terrible while installing the different cpu cooler..
And sorry if this is in the wrong category
