Hey guys, just finished my first build but im having trouble getting it to work. It won't even POST, nothing at all on the screen. Here's my specs:
- Corsair 500R graphite case
- corsair CX600 psu
- ASRock extreme4 z77 board
- Vulcan DDR3 1600 mhz ram 2 x 4gb
- core i5 3570k
- WD 250gb hdd
- some ssd i found laying about
- keyboard, mouse, etc...
- new dell IPS monitor 23 inch
I first installed a corsair h100i as well for cooling, but after the system wouldnt boot i switched back to the stock intel cooler. When i switch it on, the system case fans and cpu fan spins up for half a second like its trying to start, then it suddenly dies like the cord got pulled? Then if i wait a few seconds i can hit the power button and same thing happens again... Nothing, not even a flash comes up on the screen.
So I've already tried many of the troubleshooting threads out there, and have gone through the checklist of things such as plugging in the CPU power, using standoffs (built in on my case), and I've actually already RMA'd the motherboard so this one is brand new the last one had bent pins.
Everything is new other than the CPU which was gently used in a friends build and supposedly worked well. The last mobo had bent pins could it have damaged the cpu? I don't have any other motherboards and power supplies to use to swap out things and test, otherwise i would. I might pull the psu out and use a multimeter to test that out in a bit if that could be it... I don't think these are usually DOA though?
Oh and also I have the system breadboarded right now, and I think my mobo doesnt have a case speaker built in.... i get no beeps, ram or no ram installed. Right now i have it setup out of the case, just mobo with processor and heatsink, one stick of ram (tried in all slots) and the psu. Same symptoms. Let me know if you can help!!
Thanks
Shane
