Hey guys. Recently built my first PC and after booting it up noticed that the screen would instantly enter the "power-save" mode and the screen would sleep.
I have not been able to even get to a BIOS screen so I have altered absolutely nothing in regards to software.
Part list:
mobo - MSI b15m mortar microATX
cpu - Intel core i5-7500
ram - 8gb (2x4gb) Kingston HyperX Fury Black
gpu - Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6gb
psu - EVGA nex650g
monitor - Dell e228wfp (dvi + vga connectors)
Other info:
- The monitor has worked fine with other laptops/towers.
- When using VGA connection, will powersave in analogue input. When using DVI connection, will powersave in digital input.
- When booting the system all fans spin and lights work. sometimes the system will spin up, then spin up again.
- "D-ram" mobo warning light illuminates for a few seconds every time the system is powered. regardless if I use one stick of ram or both. I have tried changing their seating arrangement, to no avail.
- All motherboard power cables are connected properly.
- Monitor is not plugged into gpu for now, it is plugged into the mobo.
- The motherboard speaker does not give a "post beep" on startup, the speaker is not faulty and works during other warning beep situations.
- I have booted the system without anything but the cpu, cpu fan, ram and psu. Still does not solve the issue.
I am planning to take the tower to an expert for them to diagnose if I can't get it going in a week or so. If you guys have any tips that could save me some time and hassle, I would much appreciate it.
Cheers, Jye~
