Hello,
today I got my new motherboard. The MSI X79A-GD45 Plus LGA 2011. I've immediatly started with building my pc out of the case of course and when I booted it up three LEDs appeared but black screen on monitor. Fans are turning of the videocard and of the CPU Fan. So I have a i7 4820K, MSI X79A-GD45 Motherboard, 16GB of RAM Black Vengeance (4x4GB), Antec Neopower 650W PSU and Sapphire R9 270X Graphics card.
I actually did really much testing. Re-connected the 24pin and 8pin connector. I tested my RAM modules 1 per 1, I've replaced my video card with my other video card (I have 2 R9 270X's), I cleared CMOS, I changed from monitor, changed from BIOS (There is a little switch to change to the other BIOS, maybe that worked but it didn't). Tested with another DVI cable...
Personally I don't think my CPU is dead because there is no damage on the back of the CPU neither on the motherboard socket pins. On the top of the motherboard there are 8LEDs for CPU Phase. More the LEDs, more the power of the CPU is using at that moment. For me there are 1 of the 8 LEDs burning, there should be 0 LEDs burning if CPU is dead, right? And 8 LEDs if the CPU is working properly or..? Then I followed this page after all the tests..: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
Followed it step by step, one thing I didn't do wass putting a CPU Fan, I did that now and still black screen. Maybe I putted too much thermal paste on it or too little. I really don't know what I can do more... Do you guys maybe know some more tests or the problem that I'm recieving a black screen?
