Hey guys,
I'm a noobie builder, this was my first shot at it.
After completing it and turning it on I am not getting anything coming up on my screen.
I am making a headless home media server, with no optical drive. I plan on just using the integrated graphics on the motherboard to set it up and install Ubuntu Server.
Case: Cooler Master Elite 110
Motherboard: Asus h110i-Plus (mini itx)
Ram: Kingston 4gb DDR 4 (on the compatability list for the MB)
CPU: G4400 with stock cooler
PSU 450W
A repurposed 2.5" SSD and 2 x 3.5" WD Red hdd (only have 1 ssd and 1 hdd in at the moment to make the build easier till i get it going.).
So i put it together, plugged in the HDMI to my tv and off it went. CPU, fan, light and hdd led's all going. The hdd's think for a bit and level off - screen remains blank the whole time.
I took the whole thing apart, reseated the ram in the second slot, checked the CPU and connectors, checked the fans were connected, checked the power supply EAX and ATX were connected.
I am on the correct hdmi tv channel, even tried the pc. But no bios screen showing.
I should note i didnt have a keyboard plugged in at the time - i plan on borrowing one from work and a spare monitor to see if it is just an hdmi issue?
Anybody have experience with this kind of thing and any other steps for me to follow?
