Hi Everyone,
This is my first PC build and could use some help. As stated in the title I can't get the system to POST.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TpKJ4D
MOBO: ASROCK H97m-itx/ac
I put together the whole system linked above, when powered on the CPU and case fan would start up and then turn off, over and over every 2-3 seconds and would not POST/nothing on screen.
I then took everything out of the case and tried the system with just RAM, MOBO, CPU, PSU, & onboard video, same thing happened.
The 24 pin power and the 4 pin CPU power are connected
I then did the following:
-Cleared CMOS using jumper (several times).
-Cleared CMOS battery (taking it out for 30 min.).
-Tried each sticks of RAM in each slot separately.
-Tried system with no memory and CPU fan would run continuously.
-Thinking that RAM may be an issue I got some : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-xlr8-2-pack-4gb-pc3-14900-ddr3-udimm-desktop-memory-kit-black/5429115.p?id=1219650452870&skuId=5429115
-Tried bread-boarded system with one stick of the new RAM, same issue.
-Removed the CPU, inspected the pins(all look good)
-Re-installed CPU and heatsink with new thermal paste. The CPU fan would spin up and stay on adjusting speed every now and again still no POST. On several of the restarts the system did the shut on and off thing, but overall it would stay running. The Bios on the MOBO is P1.70 which is only one behind the newest.
This motherboard doesn't not have a speaker, jumpers for a speaker or troubleshooting LEDs. I do not have any known working parts as this is my first build. And none of my friends have spare parts at the moment. I do not know what to do next please help.
Thanks,
Nopon
