Hey everyone, to start off, im a relatively inexperienced builder, this will be my 4th build. Me and my buddy decided to upgrade rigs recently, I got all my parts and everything a day before him and everything fit like a glove and worked immediately.
Yesterday we attempted to get his going and ran into a few problems.
Specs:
MB ASUS|M5A97 R2.0 970 AM3+ R
VGA SAPPHIRE|100352-3L HD7950 3GB R
CPU AMD|KA10 7850K 4G 4M FM2+ 95W R
MEM 4Gx2|CRUCIAL BLT2KIT4G3D1869DT1
We are recycling his old case (which is pretty outdated, still has individual pins for usb and fp-audio) and his old PSU, which is some random unknown brand, 530w I believe. Until we get things working, we are maining his old 500g HDD, afterwards will switch out for his new SSD.
I have been through the "read before posting" stickies and checklist and have performed most, admitingly not all, steps listed. Tonight I will be breadboarding it.
Everything seemed to fit decent enough into his case, the power supply seems stable, everything turns on (PSU, CPU fan, case fans, GPU, MOBO led) but we cannot get a beep on start-up, or any signs of booting at all. As of right now I assume one of two things:
1. MOBO is dead.
2. I'm missing something extremely simple.
Anyone have any ideas? I appreciate everyone taking the time to read this wall of text.
