Hello,
I am building a custom computer and I am having a fatal issue with one of the components (not sure which).
The problem is that when I plug in the computer, it leads me to a black screen. In the bottom right corner there are numbers flipping in between A9 and 99. The computer stays in this state until I turn it off or restart it. When I turn on the computer holding down the "Delete" button (the key that should lead me to the BIOS menu), is just says "Entering setup..." and stays like that until I shut it off.
I have tried unplugging and re plugging the graphics card, RAM and hard drive. I have also tried to turn on the computer without the graphics card, hard drive and with both of the sticks of RAM individually. Without the graphics card, I got 1 long beep an two short beeps. With the first stick of RAM alone, I got 3 beeps over and over again. With the second stick of ram alone, it worked normally. Without the hard drive, it worked normally again. I have also tried to take out the CMOS, wait 2 minutes and put it back in, but this gave me the same results. I've read and watched at least 7 tutorials and fixes, but none have worked.
It seems like I have tried everything except call a professional. The issue could be because of the static on my hands, but I made sure to touch metal every time I opened the case (I don't have one of those anti-static gloves). The other potential issue could be that one of the parts is damaged and I can't see the damage. If that's true, it's probably the graphics card.
Here is a list of my specs:
Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming
RAM: HyperX Fury 2 times 4GB DDR3 DIMM
CPU: AMD FX 6-Core 3.5GHz, 14.0 MB Total Cache
Graphics card: nivada GeForce GT 730
Power supply: Corsair CX600 ATX power supply 600W
Case: Enermax Ostrog ECA3280 series
HDD: Western Digital 1TB Blue hard drive
Operating System: currently none.
If you need any more detail, I can tell you.
Thanks in advance,
Nate
Edit:
There is a decent chance that this has something to do with the processor not being supported by the motherboard, but I am still not sure.
