New Computer Not Going Into POST

Maxamillion1111 · Aug 26, 2014

I have just started a new build which has an AMD A8 6600K APU with the fan it comes with, an msi military class 4 motherboard, 2 sticks of dual channel (which are what the motherboard used) ADATA 4gb DDR3 1333 ram. I also have the optical drive and HDD mounted properly and connected with the SATA cords. I can't get it to go into POST though. I am assuming it is because I do not have a video card yet but since it uses an APU it should work. Can anybody help?

what is the exact motherboard you have? The only one that I could find from MSI that is military class 4 is made for intel.

Also AMD A8 660ok APU has a built in gpu on it so you wont need a standalone card to get video.

Please fill out full system specs

CPU: AMD A8 6600K APU
Motherboard:
Ram: ADATA 4gb DDR3 1333 ram
GPU: using APU
PSU:

I have followed these steps several times and everything seems like it should be working. All the parts are powering on but the monitor just goes through the startup phase then goes to a blank screen without posting.

try using another monitor. or perhaps you may have to install a separate GPU.

ok where are you plugging the monitor into? the motherboard or the 750 ti? I would go back to the basics and take the 750 ti out of the computer and just try booting up with the onboard video to make sure everything is working

bananacue · Aug 26, 2014

try to use the onboard video. If successful, plug it to 750 ti.

I have also tried plugging it into the motherboard when the GPU is not installed. It still didn't work. Also I am using a vga aka a d-sub cable as the monitor calls it.
