Hello,
I just upgraded to an ASUS Z97-Pro Gamer motherboard and after installation I'm failing to get the boot screen. I've gone over most of the basic steps listed here (http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1893016/post-system-boot-video-output-troubleshooting-checklist.html), and I'm pretty sure it's set up correctly, in that all of the 'wires' from my old motherboard setup (a Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3) are now placed somewhere on the new motherboard. I've attached 2 images here: http://imgur.com/a/MDZLe
As you can see, with the computer off but the PSU plugged in the SB_PWR light is on as well as the snaking lights that form an outline near the GPU (you can kind of see them on in the middle-bottom of the first image). When I press the power button, the CPU_LED light flickers on and off, and then the DRAM_LED light stays on. All of the fans I've attached to the mobo (case and CPU) work.
I tried booting but there's no signal to the display (the display works since I hooked it up just fine to my laptop). The keyboard I attached via USB has the CAPS light on when I power on but pressing it doesn't cause it to toggle.
The SATA cables to my SSDs are unplugged at the moment but I've tried it with them plugged in and still no POST.
Any advice on where to proceed? Should I buy one of those system speakers to hear some beeps?
PC Specs:
Case- Cooler Master CM690 II Black Steel ATX
PSU- OCZ ZS 650W
CPU- Intel Core i5-4460 LGA 1150
GPU- XFX Radeon R9 290A (I've tried with both GPU in and video cable attached to GPU, and video cable directly attached to mobo without GPU installed)
RAM-Patriot G2 series 2x4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz (tried with just 1 installed)
Memory- Crucial and Samsung SSD's.
Thanks in advance!
