kaveri cpu not going into post

danny sherlock · Jan 21, 2014

hi i just bought a brand new motherboard the g1 sniper a88x, new cpu kaveri a10 7700k, new ram corsair 8gb 1600mhz and a new 1tb hardrive.

the problem i have is whenever i turn it on it doesn't do anything on screen but everything inside the computer sounds like it is running normal, fans spinning up etc. i have tried using 1 stick of ram, (didn't work) i tried using the onboard gpu ( didn't work) i tried just using the cpu and motherboard without anything else (still didn't work). i have taken the battery out to reset the bios, i have tried using a different monitor but nothing seems to work.

check the pins on the cpu, are they all perfectly straight?

have you tried running the computer without the GPU installed. If you get input on the screen with it removed this could point to a GPU problem.

DonnyTechMaster :

ye i've tried that, nothing happened

DonnyTechMaster · Jan 21, 2014

Maybe your CMOS battery (silver coin shaped battery on motherboard) is out of juice. You can try buying a replacement.

James Mason · Jan 21, 2014

You plugged in all the power connectors on to the motherboard right? You opened and read and followed the instructions in the mobo's manual right?

James Mason · Jan 21, 2014

I dont think your mobo has a speaker, so if it was making beep codes you couldn't hear them, you could try this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812201032

James Mason :

He has a point, my pc doesn't have internal speakers, so I don't get POST codes either.

DonnyTechMaster :

it shouldn't be cause it's brand new

James Mason · Jan 21, 2014

I dont know what bio version you have, but it's possible the stock bios aren't updated to the version you needs: http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4683

James Mason :

ye i did all of the correctly

DonnyTechMaster · Jan 21, 2014

is Windows the only thing that's not coming up? If so then check to make sure it's not an OEM version, because OEM versions of windows can't be moved from one motherboard to another. Windows will have to be re-installed on the new hardware if it is in fact an OEM version.

James Mason :

ye i thought about that but it says the only way to update that bios is to have an fm2 cpu of which i don't

James Mason · Jan 21, 2014

danny sherlock :

your a10 7700k is an FM2(+) cpu.

You can buy a cheap one, plug it in, update the bios to the latest version, then put in your real CPU.

danny sherlock · Jan 21, 2014

Ye but is there a way to find out what bios version it is because the one that supports kaveri came out about a month ago, plus I don't have the money at the moment as that buy has made me skint
