I'm new to PC building so let me know if I sound dumb at any point.
I have put together a new gaming PC and it will not post, I have followed through as many threads on this site as I could but I still have no fix.
I have tried everything down to a breadboard set up (CPU, HSF, RAM) And it still will not post.
Hardware for the troubleshoot - Asus M5A78L-M motherboard, Corsair Vengance 4gbx2 CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9R RAM, 600bEvga PSU (600w), FX-6300 black edition CPU, XFX R7950 DD 3gb GPU,
Already tried:
CMOS reset with jumper and battery pull.
Reseat the RAM in every configuration and use different slots.
Reseat CPU
Check all connections again and again
Test with integrated graphics and the the 7950
Tried powering MoBo on anti static bag it came in as not to short it
Replace PSU
Run out of ideas.
The interesting part, and where I'm up to now, I would get a solid red light on LED and no beeps, no display, all fans inc. CPU spin.
Removed all RAM cards and powered on without them, still no display, 3 beeps (one long two short) sound for RAM error (double checked beep codes on ASUS page
Removed CPU but left all ATX and 12v connectors in (RAM still out) and got no beeps again, same as before (to test if I got a different beep code for CPU error)
When I reseated the CPU and RAM cards I just get the RAM beep code, no matter which layout I put the RAM cards in, whether I run 1 or 2.
Checking MoBo guide the exact RAM card is not on the supported list (similar corsair vengance on same frequency are supported)t, it didn't seem to be an issue before I reseated the CPU, which I suspect may also be faulty based on the lack of beep code.
So - the main question, am I missing something stupidly simple or do I get a new stick of low frequency DDR3 on the supported list and a cheap low power semphron processor to check hardware issue? (and possible incompatibility issues with FX processors and that specific ram card in a BIOS update) or just get a new Motherboard?
Please help
