Built my first PC today. I have followed the motherboard manual step by step and I just tried to boot the PC up. I am not getting a signal from the HDMI, VGA or DVI.
The PC turns on. The fans and LEDs are on but my monitor says HDMI / VGA / DVI is not connected.
I went through the manual again to see if I missed anything. I double checked the connections.
1. Installed processor into motherboard
2. Installed the processor fan
3. Installed the RAM into slot 2 and 4 according to the manual
4. Plugged in USB 2.0, USB 3.0, CPU fan, and case fan.
5. Installed PSU
6. Plugged in the 8-pin and 24-pin PSU connectors into the motherboard
7. Plugged in the HD Audio (10-1 pin)
8. Installed the SSD and HDD with the SATA cables and power supply for them.
9. Plugged in the system pancel connectors (PWR_LED+ -, PWR_SW, HDD_LED, Reset SW)
I skipped plugging in the Thermal Sensor Connector (2-pin T_SENSOR) because it didn't come with the connector.
I skipped the ROG Extension - ROG_EXT connector (18-1 pin ROG_EXT) because it didn't come with the connector.
I skipped the TPM connector (14-1 pin TPM) because it didn't come with the connector.
I also tried every combination of single ram use and dual ram use but I still get no signal.
I also tried removing the graphics card and using the motherboards HDMI / VGA but I still get no signal.
My components
Intel core i5-7500
Asus B150 LGA1151
EVGA Geforce GTX 1070
Corsair CXM 650W 80+ Bronze
Mushkin Blackline 16GB x2
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
This is my first gaming PC and I am very bummed out atm because I can't get anything to work. Any suggestions?
Are the steps I skipped the problem?
EDIT: I have found this compatibility note for my MOBO.
"Some Intel B150 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs."
This is most likely the problem (hopefully). I will try updating the MOBO or getting a different CPU.
