System Specifications:
MOBO: ASRock Z170 Gaming i7
CPU: Intel i7-6700 3.45ghz
GPU: Nvidia Geoforce GTX 970
PSU: Corsair CX750M
COOLING SYSTEM: Corsair H80i v2
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 [x2]
Tower: NZXT H440 Razer Special Edition
===========================================================================
So, first I just want to say I have tried for days now to look up everything I can think of and have done countless different things to try and figure out this issue, to no avail.
So, I bought the new MOBO and transplanted all my other hardware from my Dell XPS 7900 tower/build, BUT I can't seem to get any monitor to work (below I will explain what steps I've taken to try and solve this issue). I don't hear any beeps, even though I don't think I can, as this new tower doesn't have an internal/mobo speaker.
Steps taken (in no particular order):
- Remove GTX 970 graphics card
- Moved the graphics card to try each one of the 4 GPU slots
- Try different RAM
- tried both different RAM setups in different slots and with only one
- Resetting the CMOS
- Removing the MOBO battery for more than 2min
- Checked all connections
- Removed all hardware
- Replaced all hardware
- Checked for bent pins in the CPU slot
- Cleaned off and reapplied Thermal Paste (a tiny amount, yes)
- Tried 3 different monitors
- Each one on different cards (Each one works fine when connected to laptop and/or xbox and worked fine in prior setup)
- Tried each one with HDMI and then DVI
*That's all I can think of right now*
How can I update my BIOS if I can't even get to the POST? >.< What I thought would be an easy swear, has become a huge headache and hindering my playing video games and editing
- Could it be that the PSU might not be supplying enough power because it has to power the CPU, Cooling, 8x fans, and the GPU? I've researched and it doesn't seem that way.
- WHAT IS THE PROBLEM???? hahaha
Coming on here and actually posting about my problems and not being able to fix it is something i'M NOT proud of doing, as I use this as an absolute last resort... but I'm tired and lost on what to do now.
