My specs are Asus Sabertooth 990fx mobo, 570 evga nvidea GPU, AMD fx 810 CPU, a 750w corsair PSU and ddr3-1600 ripjaws 4g ram (two sticks).
I was getting random computer lock ups and crashes while playing some games since I built this pc about years ago. It was rare but it happened on some games (CoD, Minecraft, ect.) most games ran perfectly fine.
I went about upgrade my RAM and my GPU to the EVGA nvidea 770 and G.SKill Trident X 4g (two sticks). I thought I ordered the exact same ram sticks as I had before but I didn't. I also replaced fans and put a new one in my case.
Anyway, after installing these parts I tried to turn my system on and it won't boot. All my new fans come on and my GPU fans spin and my CPU fans spin. However, I do not get any beeps at all, the lights for my disk drive do not stay on (they flash for maybe a second and then turn off) and I get no signal to the monitor.
After making sure everything was plugged in (the only thing that kind of confuses me is that the 570 has two 6 slot plugs and the 770 has a 6 slot plug and than an 8 slot plug but the cord came with two "loose" plugs connected to the wires which I plugged in having guessed that is what it was for). After doing all that I tried booting it with just one stick of ram alternating then reseating the GPU and making sure everything was in properly. Also, a right LED light is now near the ram on the top right of my mobo. I can provide pictures if needed.
After all that I put my old parts back in to see if it was a defective part that I had gotten but I still have the exact same problem. I am kind of new to PC hardware, I built this pc with the help of a friend and I have been working on figuring things out as I go but this is escaping me.
Anyone out there have any ideas? Any help? Anything would be great! I did drop a single screw on the motherboard while putting the GPU in but aside from that I always checked for static by keeping myself grounded and touching metal before putting my hands in.
Thank you so much!
