Well, today I started building my new pc. I acquired the parts over span of 4 months with me getting the motherboard recently. (Last Tuesday). Today I started building and everything was going good and such until I finished. The pc didn't post up. It started up fine, leds blinking, fans spinning, gpu lighting up, cpu cooler lighting. However, the pc did not post. I tried a lot of troubleshooting methods. I noticed when I turn on the system, all the onboard leds flash. The cpu led flashed, dram led flashed, vga led flashed, and the boot_device led flashed. After the sequence of flashes, the boot_device led stays red. My monitor doesn't detect a display port connection and yes I plugged the display port cable into the graphics card and not onboard video. ( Didnt have another monitor to try onboard video) Things I tried: 1. Using only 1 ram stick and booting (switched both out) 2. cleared cmos and cleared rtc ram (jumper) 3. rewired and checked if anything was lose 4. unpluged hdd and ssd from the tray I have not tried using the onboard graphics because I don't have another monitor. Also, didnt switch cables because I don't have any. Is my PSU bad, I don't think it is it's powering everything pretty fine.. The cables I was using for the monitor was a minidisplay port to displayport. (plugged mini displayport into monitor and plugged displayport into gpu)
