New computer won't post

kaden golda · Feb 19, 2017

I built a new Skylake system for my dad (we bought the parts a long time ago) and it won't post. Everything is connected and all fans spin. I tested it with 2 hard drives, I've removed one of the ram sticks and changed the configuration around, I've tried using the HD graphics HDMI port, and I've changed SATA ports. The ram sticks didn't go all the way in at first even after a lot of force, so I just used the one that went all the way in. The GPU fans spin up and turn off like they are supposed to in low power situation.The motherboard is the ASRock Motherboard Mini ITX DDR4 LGA 1151 H110M-ITX/AC and the ram is Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s. The hard drive is Hitachi and the other one I tried it barracuda. Both work in my main system without error. They do have stuff on them, could that mess anything up??

kaden golda :

can you go into the bios?

the ram issue also concerns me, did you make sure to open the fingers on both ends of the ram slots before pushing them in?

look at the ram slots, are the internal metal connectors bent?

is the cpu cooler on properly?

cpu cooler is on properly, and the ram only has one side with the little tabs to pull. My ddr3 pc has tabs on both sides so this confused me. the ram connectors look fine.

I'll update you tomorrow and try these. I'm not at the PC right now as my family is going to sleep and I can't be doing this stuff at a late hour. I'll tell you how it goes, thanks!
