Hello, New to the forums. So I just recently purchased components for a small computer in my office. I tried bench testing and nothing would show up on the moniter. I tried multiple moniters and input sources. I even tried a GPU, graphics integrated CPU, with no luck. I'm getting power to the board, the CPU fan, the GPU. Which led me to believe that I wasn't getting power to the CPU. Tried a different CPU, I had two, with the same results. Are my components not compatible? Everything I've researched says they are but why can't I get this set up to work.

Components:

ASRock H97m-ITX/ac LGA 1150
Intel G3258 Haswell Dual-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1150

My first thought is the PSU. 200W is really low.
Does it do anything different if you remove the hard drive and GPU (you didn't list one but mentioned it) and use only 1 stick of RAM (if applicable). Basically you want the minimum parts for it to display on screen, which is PSU, CPU and RAM. It should at least show you something from the integrated graphics.

I haven't tried to POST with only one RAM. When benchtesting the only thing I have installed is the CPU and RAM. The CPU is a 53W so I didn't think having only a 200W PSU would pose that big of a problem.

Moniter isn't finding any incoming signal so I can't get to BIOS. Specs say these RAM should work. And I don't have another PSU to test.

CMOS Jumper? That's on correctly. Is there another jumper I should be looking for?

It was the PSU, 200W turned out not to be enough. Thank You.
