Hi everyone,
I just finished my first time computer build, but I am having major problems. In advanced, I'm sorry if I post anything nooby or don't seem to be great at giving you info, as I'm completely new to these sorts of forums.
In short, my problem is this: When I start up my build, it lights up and all the fans start. However, nothing comes up on the monitor. Also, on that little 2-digit display thing on the motherboard (not sure what it is called, sorry), an "8" appears. Roughly 7 seconds later it all stops, then starts again in about two seconds. This time the monitor flashes about twice, the display thing on the motherboard starts changing around with different combinations of numbers and letters, but then it stops again. This process then just repeats.
Now, before anyone posts "have you read this or this", I would like to say, as far as I know, I have read it all. However, don't be discouraged from giving a link if you think it may help. I have tried everything I could think of.
I managed to get it to work once, and this was when the monitor was unplugged, and I had just put back in the motherboard; I have no idea what was different though.
Specs:
No GPU plugged in right now
Motherboard: GA-Z97X-SOC Force
Power Supply: Corsair 900W
Processor: Intel i7 4790K
RAM: (Normally have 2 8GB, but only 1 plugged in right now for testing)
Thanks for any help, you don't realise how much it means to me
