Hi everyone.
Recently started a new build.
Intel Core i5 4570
ASrock H81M-ITX
SeaSonic SSR-650RM
Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) (TLYD38G1600HC9DC01)
DVI using CPU video to monitor
I have the setup out of the case for some breadboarding tests. When I boot up the computer, the CPU fan runs for a few seconds, then stops, then startups again. This repeats indefinitely. There is no boot, no signals, or signal to the monitor. I've tried checking the steps outlined here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
I have a 4 pin motherboard speaker but not sure where this goes on my motherboard. I don't see a spot for these. May be why I am not getting any beeps?
Here is what I have tried so far in diagnosing the issue somewhat blindly:
At this point, I only have the PSU, CPU, CPU fan, ram, and monitor hooked up.
1) I tried using only one ram stick. Tried both slots separate with both sticks of ram. Same issue. CPU fan starts and stops repeatedly.
2) I took out the both ram sticks and booted without ram. The CPU fan now starts and continues without stopping. However, still no beeps or boot.
3) I plugged in a gtx 760 to see if it was a onboard display issue. With the ram sticks also in, same behavior. Both CPU and GPU fan would start and stop repeatedly.
4) I plugged a case fan into the setup. This continues to spin while CPU fan starts and stops.
5) Reset CMOS with the jumper. I had trouble removing the battery since its clicked in and my fingers have hard time getting in there.
At this point, I suspect it might be a ram related issue. Since I read its unlikely that both ram sticks would be faulty, I think it might have to do with the ram slot on the motherboard, so a motherboard issue. Before I RMA, I wanted to confirm and see if there are other things I should do to further diagnose my problem.
I'm trying to track down another PSU so I can test if its a PSU issue. BTW, all parts are brand new.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I'm missing any info that would be relevant and I'll update.
