Hi,
I'm building a PC for my friend, put it all together and it powers on but won't display anything, and the mouse and keyboard do not light up. I have tried 2 different motherboards, tested his RAM in my computer, tried using my GSkill RAM in his, 2 separate Intel Pentium G3258s, 2 different 430W power supplies, and 2 separate Monitors using both DVI, VGA, and HDMI (only the 1st monitor has it).
1st Build:
Mobo: Gigabyte: GA-B85M-DS3H MicroATX
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 (2 separate ones)
RAM: 4 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport BLS2KIT2G3D1609DS1S00 (x2 2GB sticks)
PSU: Corsair CX430M then a Thermaltake TR2 430W
SSD: SanDisk Ultra Plus 128GB w/ Windows 7 Ultimate already installed
The first build would power on, the fans would spin up then power off and continue cycling like that indefinitely. There was no signal to either monitor I tried from the VGA, DVI, and HDMI and the keyboard and mouse won't light up. I checked all of the connections 3x, checked the standoffs, tried booting it on an ESD mat outside the case, tried using only one RAM stick, tried every one of the RAM slots, tried using my 16GB of GSkill Ripjaw RAM from my PC, tried using 2 separate Intel G3258s, tried booting it without the SSD, pulled out the CMOS battery for 2hrs with everything powered off and unplugged to reset the BIOS, I switched the Corsair PSU for the Thermaltake PSU.
Nothing would fix it.
2nd Build:
Mobo: Asus H97M-PLUS MicroATX
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258
RAM: 4 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport BLS2KIT2G3D1609DS1S00 (x2 2GB sticks)
PSU: Corsair CX430M then a Thermaltake TR2 430W
SSD: SanDisk Ultra Plus 128GB w/ Windows 7 Ultimate already installed
The second build powered on, the fans spin up but it would stay on, though there still was no signal to either monitor I tried from the VGA or DVI and the keyboard and mouse won't light up.
I checked all of the connections 3x, checked the standoffs, tried using only one RAM stick, tried every one of the RAM slots, tried booting it without the SSD, pulled out the CMOS battery for 2hrs with everything powered off and unplugged to reset the BIOS, I switched the Corsair PSU for the Thermaltake PSU.
Again nothing I tried worked.
Additional info:
The case is a Zalman Z12plus
I don't have a test speaker (yet) for the Motherboard beep code
Eventually there will be an additional WD 1TB Blue HDD for storage, 2 CD/DVD R/W drives, and a 3.5 in multimedia card reader installed but none of that was plugged in.
What should I do?
Thank you for your time and help.
