I am brand new to PC building and hit a snag once I put my setup together. My components are as follows:
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor
GPU: Asus Radeon HD 6570 1GB Video Card
Mobo: ASRock FM2A78M-HD+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
HDD: Seagate 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive
PSU: Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Case: Rosewill Galaxy-03 ATX Mid Tower Case
These parts checked out for compatibility both by pcpartpicker.com and my own estimation. Once I got all the pieces, they went together smoothly and seemingly without a hitch. Once I connected the power supply and a VGA to the video card, I booted up the machine.
However, I am getting no display at all, not even BIOS. What I AM getting is fans working. Fans work on the stock CPU cooler, on the video card, in the power supply and in the case. This leads me to believe that all the components are receiving power and, to some extent, working. Additionally, as expected, the onboard graphics ports do not work, since my CPU has no integrated graphics. Without getting through to the BIOS, I am not sure how to troubleshoot this issue (install drivers, etc.) Any ideas what might be causing this, or what troubleshooting methods I should try? Thank you in advance
