DIYPC P48 Case
MSI H110M Grenade Mobo
Intel Pentium G4560
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT Ram - White
Asus Radeon RX 460 2GB OC Edition
Corsair CX550M PSU
Various Case Fans, a Crucial 128GB SSD, and a 500GB Toshiba HDD.
A note, this mobo has a feature called EZ Debug LED that lets you know what's working and what's not.
This is my third build so I like to think that I have a relatively good idea of how to build a PC. Anyhow I put everything together, installed the CPU, RAM, and CPU Cooler prior to mounting the mobo. After that I proceeded to install everything else and hook everything up. Started it up and no video so I started troubleshooting. Started by removing all the components except the CPU/CPU cooler, after doing that I tried starting it again, the EZ Debug LED lit up for CPU and then stayed lit for the RAM, mobo speaker also gave several long beeps. I then tried inserting each RAM stick individually in each RAM slot to see if maybe there was an issue with the RAM. Still no boot regardless of the the number of RAM sticks or their position so I just installed both of them. When powering on with just the RAM and CPU installed the EZ Debug LED's for CPU and RAM light up fine and there are no beeps from the mobo speaker so it seems unlikely at this point that there is anything wrong with either of those components. I also tried using a VGA, DVI, and HDMI cable at each of these stages and none of them worked. After this I checked all of my cable's to make sure they were securely plugged in and tried again, nothing. Next step was to reset the CMOS via the jumper and then by removing the battery and letting it sit for about an hour, still no luck. At this point I'm not really sure what my next step should be. I don't know if it is an issue with the BIOS needing updated to be able to interact properly with the CPU or if there is something wrong with the mobo.
I have also gone through this list with everything that I feel is relevant to my situation with the exception of breadboarding the system outside the case. I was hoping to get some feedback and suggestions on next steps before going this route as I will have to undo all the cable management I've done so far (I know, should have made sure everything worked before actually installing it, lesson learned).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
