I'm currently trying to build a PC. I have built a few before so I have a little experience. I am trying to run a test boot with just the CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU, and motherboard. I connected both power cords to the motherboard. The LED lights on the motherboard will light up, but none of the fans will spin, and the speaker does not beep. I believe that there is a problem with either the motherboard or CPU, and I do not know how to tell which it is. Or I could just be doing something wrong.
Here are the specs:
ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-
Intel Core i7-3770 Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000
RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-730SS 730W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply (I tried a different power supply with the same results)
EVGA 02G-P4-2643-KR GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
Thanks for your help!
