Asrock 970 extreme3 doesn't get to bios

thoornick · Feb 4, 2014

Hi,

i recently started building my own computer. I watched a lot of tutorials on how to do it and prepared myself well. I'm new if it comes to building a pc and it is my first time i did it. Once i installed all of it and was ready to test it for the first time. I turned my pc on but it didn't show any screen at all just nothing happens. and i can't start up the BIOS. All the fans even from my GPU and the case turn on but nothing happens on the screen. I even don't hear any beeps when i start it up. I checked everything again but i don't see any problems.

my parts i have build in are:

Asrock 970 extreme3
AMD FX-6300 Black edition
MSI R9 270X gaming 2G
Crucial Ballistix tactical BLT2C4G3D1608ET3LX0CEU 2x 4GB
Seasonic S12ll-bronze 430W

I really hope you guys can help me out.

The Asrock 970 extreme 3 may need a bios update to work with the FX-6300. I suspect it doesn't have this update and this is why you are having the problem

Thanks for your quick answer!

I guess it makes sense.. How can i do this?

Thanks!

[If you dont have an AM3 cpu available you will have to take it to a pc store and get them to do it. It is a quick process for someone that knows what they are doing.

If you do have access to an AM3 CPU such as a Phenom ii you can download the bios from here http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/?cat=Download&os=BIOS get the 1.80 instant flash version
and follow these instructions http://www.asrock.com/support/BIOSUI.asp?cat=BIOS

Okay i will try that myself or a specialist! Was it clear for you that i don't see any video output on my monitor, not even the short screen press f2 to go to the bios. Is this still the way to go even if you understood that already?

Thanks again!

Yes, thats what i thought, do the bios update. If that doesn't fix the problem (which is unlikely) send me a PM and i will help you out again.
Just to be 100% sure are all the power cables connected to the right things? Beginners can often miss the 8pin cpu power, 24 pin MB or 8+6 pin pcie.

Okay great, but when i look at the tutorial i have to be in the BIOS, and the problem is that i can't get there!

bluehowell · Feb 4, 2014

Thats why you need the AM3 cpu so you can get there

The BIOS version may or may not be the problem. This problem can be caused by a number of things. Perform all the steps in this checklist and let us know how it goes.

I already saw this topic, and i have checked all these steps so i think that's not it!

@bluehoweel:

I see, i will go to a specialist to see if this helps!
