No display, No Beep, but everything else works

SkyClashes · Jul 10, 2016

Hello,
I am currently building a computer and I have run into a problem. I have plugged everything in and all the parts are working except the display wont show which means no BIOS either. I have tested the monitor and it works on another computer. The motherboard lights up and I have tried plugging the monitor into both the graphics card and the motherboard with a Display Port & HDMI cable. Could someone help me fix this problem?
Motherboard: MSI Krait Gmaing 3x Z170A
Graphics Card: MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X

Hi, Try leaving single RAM module installed and testing each slot. What CPU using?

SkyClashes · Jul 10, 2016

I am using a Core i7 6700k 4.0Ghz Quad-Core Processor and the RAM isn't the problem

alexoiu · Jul 10, 2016

Have you tested, or not yet?

SkyClashes · Jul 10, 2016

If you mean the motherboard then no but how would i test it

how would i know if the slots work

System POST-ing.

I just looked at the status lights and the CPU is only lit up and the DRAM and VGA aren't lit

Is the 8 pin power cable connected to the motherboard

SkyClashes · Jul 10, 2016

i only have a 24 pin connected and idk where i would put the 8 pin in. Would that be the problem?

alexoiu · Jul 10, 2016

Yes, as the CPU does not get power. Look at the top of the board, a black 8-pin header.

what would the cord have labeled on it?

alexoiu · Jul 10, 2016

CPU or EATX or EPS. It might be two split 4-pin power cable: http://i60.tinypic.com/33ze5wz.jpg

SkyClashes · Jul 10, 2016

do the two split go into the mother board or power supply

alexoiu · Jul 10, 2016

Into motherboard.

SkyClashes · Jul 10, 2016

both?

alexoiu · Jul 10, 2016

Yes. Even if the second one seems not matching the shape.

SkyClashes · Jul 10, 2016

the screen finally shows but it wont show anything if i have just the hdmi hooked to the mother board. When i have the display port in the graphics card though it will say i need to power down and put the PCIe cable into the graphics card. I have no cable with PCIe on it that came with the power supply.

alexoiu · Jul 10, 2016

When graphics card installed, the onboard is automatically disabled (for using it, you'd have to remove the card).
What power supply using? Are there cables like https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachments/pcie6-2-jpg.57637/ (even if not labeled PCIe or VGA)?

SkyClashes · Jul 10, 2016

I have ones with VGA but that caused the message on the screen to get a PCIe cable

alexoiu · Jul 10, 2016

You have to connect all required PCIe cables (example: if 6 pin and 8 pin headers present on the card, you have to connect both 6 pin and 8 pin power cables to it, not only one 6 pin or one 8 pin cable).

from the power supply to the graphics card?
