I am stuck on getting a new system build to boot up. It powers up, everything seems fine, but I don't get any video or any system beeps alerting me to an issue. It's like everything boots up perfectly fine but no display. Not my first system build and I have went through the 23 steps in the sticky thread on this site. I'm beginning to think this is just a bad CPU, even though that is very rare.
I remove the memory and I get beeps for that. I put one stick in - no display, no beeps. Switched them around a few times - no display, no beeps. Tested the PSU in my other system and everything works great. Tried taking out the GPU and using on-board video - no display, no beeps. Tried a different cable (was using HDMI and tried DVI) and a different monitor - no display, no beeps. I reseat the CPU and check for bent pins, all good but still nothing. Unplugged everything from the MOBO aside from the CPU and memory - no display, no beeps.
The MOBO says it supports DDR4-2133 memory and I had 3200. Bingo! I goofed up and got unsupported ram, I thought... Ordered DDR4-2133 ram exactly and still no display, no beeps.
I figure at the point that the MOBO is just DOA, so I RMA it and bought a completely different board. It came in today and I get everything put into the new MOBO. Powers up and no display, no beeps... The MOBO even has LEDs that show if there is an issue with ram, CPU or GPU. None of them are on. I then do all the troubleshooting the same way on this MOBO. Still no display, no beeps.
I've tested everything I can think of. I used to work at a computer shop and this is getting kind of embarrassing! Did I just get a DOA CPU? I don't know what else it could be. Set up is below:
