Hello,
I am building a pc for someone and am having an issue i've never seen before. It is starting to annoy me :
It has gone through a lot of different problems but right now all it does when i start it is powering all the fans that start spinning at max power (so i guess the motherboard and the Bios aren't really launching ?) and no signal on screen.
I had it working for a while before it went in this state, i plugged only one ram bar on the first slot and launched the computer. the "MEMOK" red led on the motherboard lighted up for a second then the motherboard's speaker beeped once as it is supposed to do and the pc booted on the windows installation DvD with the keyboard and the mouse working. I could install windows and the motherboards drivers but when the pc rebooted to install the last drivers it didn't boot anymore and there was no signal anymore as mentioned above.
i swapped the ram around a thousand times, tried both the 4GB bars in each slot but still no luck.
All i can tell is that all the ATX pins are plugged well, the cpu is warm and working, the graphics card worked that one time where i manganed to launch the pc.
The only thing i can tell i couldn't do "perfectly" is that the motherboard is attached to the case without the small standoffs ( http://www.cybergooch.com/tutorials/images/buildsystem/IMG_6805.jpg ) (cause there was no standoffs in the motherboard's accessories) so it is just screwed to the holes that are sligthly higher than the case's back plate. Also the motherboard is a mATX while the case is an ATX.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read ! ^^
i really need help here because i can't seem to find the issue and it is taking all my time.
CONFIG :
CPU : IntelCore i7 2600 3.4Ghz
GPU : ASUS Radeon R9 270X
MOBO : ASUS P8Q77-M mATX
RAM : i have no idea.... my client took it from his old HP pc. but i can tell that it is 2x 4G DDR3 at 1333.
PSU: Corsair RM750 80PLUS Gold
That's pretty much it ^^ (i know... i wouldn't have choosed those pieces together but HEY ! , people do what they want with their money !)
