My Build
Mobo: z97-a
CPU: i5 4670k
RAM: 2 x 4gb ddr3 1866
GPU: Sapphire r9 290 tri-x oc
SSD x 1
HHD x 1
Optical drive x 1
I got my new pc all put together but the boot device led stays red and the bios isn't booted. All the fans turn on and the other leds blink a couple times then stay off and my monitor says No Video Input. The first time I tried to boot I had forgotten the 8 pin cpu cable so not much turned on. After I fixed that the boot device led just stays red now. I've tried resetting the cmos, reinserting the ram and installing only one stick of ram. I looked at the users manual to see where they should go so I know they are in the right dimm slots. I took my cpu out to inspect it and didn't see any bent pins and it was inserted correctly and the cpu fan clamped down securely and plugged in. The 24 pin and 8 pin cables are connected snugly. Tomorrow I will try removing the motherboard and putting it back in in case one of those 9 mettle spacers is touching the board where it shouldn't and causing problems. I can't think of anything else to check. If that doesn't work is there anything else I can check or is it just a defective mobo?
