Hello everyone,
I recently *tried* to upgrade my machine and I have run into a problem (SPEC BELOW). Whenever I turn on the power, the CPU fans and the GPU fans run but there is no display on screen or any USB connection (mouse/keyboard). Also, after a while my computer shuts itself off.
I've tried to run it with a single stick of RAM in different locations (different sticks in different locations) but it still wont run.
I have everything connected (PSU to GPU, HSK, and 8 pin/ 24 pin connections to Mobo) as well as RAM firmly connected.
I did notice that the Motherboard flashes FF code (which doesn't appear in the manual). I've searched online and found an online manual which states that the FF code means "power on and initialize CPU". Does this mean I connected something wrong regarding the CPU/Mobo/HSK?
Also, I should note that I did not format the hard drive that I was using before. I don't think this would cause a problem with the computer not POSTing, but you guys would probably know more about that.
I'll go test the PSU by swapping it out for a known good one, but I think it has to do more with my Mobo or CPU. Anyways, I want to know your guys opinions or solutions.
Thanks!
