Hello all,

Yesterday all my components arrived for my new build. This morning i finished building it all together but when i powered up the system, black screen.
Every single fan or led spins. But there is no working display.
I tryed following the guide (PERFORM THESE STEPS before posting about POST/boot/no video problems!
)
But still no succes.
Also i inserted an old working videocard.. No go...
Even an old ,monitor with vga. Still black.

I can't imagen something is broken, everything is new out of the box, only my cpu (4670k)is from my old system.

I hope you guys have some idea's :(

Thanks in advance,
Sten

How are you connecting your monitor? If you use HDMI change it to DVI. Also are you properly connecting to the PSU the GTX 780? It needs to be connected with one 6+2pin and with one 6 pin, meaning two power cables are connected on the card (i had the same problem like you and turned out that i had the power cables wrong.. it got fixed after i plugged them correctly.)

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I am using 2x 2+6pins cables for my gtx 780 lightning. Doesnt work, also my other videcard gives a black screen. So that is not the problem...

Did you try changing the HDMI or DVI cables? Do you have a speaker on your motherboard? It helps recognizing some problems. Your pc just boots in black screen and nothing else? Does it auto restart all the time?

I have tryed about everything now. Took everything apart, made a little testbench on my mobo case but still.. Nothing works. I booted it up with every part plugged in and out. Reset the cmos a couple of times also, no luck.
I guess.. There are two possible options: 1. Cpu is dead or 2. mobo is broken out of the box. :(
Thanks anyway for the help!

Something might be defective, did you motherboard come with a speaker? Check your box if there is a little speaker in it, if it there is one plug it and hear how many and what "beeps" it does when you power it.

The box didn't come with a speaker, but I had one laying around from my old mb. I looked into the book and connected it. Both ways. But there was never en beep.. its strange.. but i have no clue why.

Ooo.. I removes the hdd's & ram and added the speaker this time. It is now making 3 loud beeps when i fire it up. What does that mean? It also gives a code on the mb. E0

I was also searching for the meaning of beeps. Ofcourse it does because the ram is missing ;-) now i put 1 inside slot 1,2,3,4 no beeps anymore. So no clue what else it could be.

It's so strange. My whole setup now is: motherboard, cpu, stock intel cpu fan, power from the corsair ax860i. Thats it. When i start it up it beeps because of the missing ram,
When i install the ram, beeps are gone but stille those numbers repeating on the mb: 10 19 55 and 1 to quick to read.
It can only be the cpu i'm afraid :/

Download this http://dl.msi.com/download_files/mnu_exe/E7815v1.0.zip and go to page 53, it's from MSI and explains what each led number on the mobo means, for number 19 it says "Early South Bridge Initialization" (which i'm not sure what it means) and for number 55 it says "Early Memory Initialization" which looking it up i found that it's probably something with your RAM (if you have any other DDR3 sticks around you should check with them too), i can not find number 10, plus you must see the other number that it's too fast to read.
