I had issues with my homebuilt PC a few weeks ago, and after troubleshooting it with my brother's hardware, we got it down to MOBO and/or CPU. The problem then was that it wouldn't power on at all, but there was a green light on the MOBO when the PSU was plugged in.
So I ordered a new MOBO that just came in this morning. It powers on, but now the issue is that there is no display. First I tried going through my GPU with an HDMI cable. My monitor doesn't let me go to an output unless one is available, and in this case the 'HDMI 1' option was indeed available. However, when I selected it, there was no display.
Next I took the GPU out and trid connecting a VGA cable to the new motherboard. This time my monitor wouldn't even give me the option to select the VGA output. I tried both sticks of RAM in each of the two slots, and still the same thing.
My question is: assuming there's nothing wrong with the brand new motherboard, could this issue be due to he CPU? If not, does anyone have suggestions on what else I can try?
Thanks!
Edit: Found the case speaker and connected it to the motherboard - no beep at all.
