Bios Won't Display on Monitor

Albert Joshua · Mar 15, 2017

Here are the list of parts of my PC: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Zrs84C

I've been putting this off for about a month, since I've asked here before, but I unfortunately didn't get any answers. So I'm going to try again.

Whenever I turn on my PC, nothing shows up on the screen. I've built the PC back in December, and it was working fine before. But now nothing is showing up, and I've been really frustrated because I've invested so much time and money on making this PC, only to have it randomly stop working. And I have to get this fixed soon, because my laptop will not last much longer as it has caused a lot of issues for me.

Keep in mind, this is the very first time I've built a PC. So I don't know much about PCs, and barely know the basics.

Could you post some pictures, or 1 big picture of the inside? The things I, and other would look for is for example if the wiring for everything is correct. Small things usually, but they matter. Considering it doesn't even make it to BIOS, it narrows it down firmly to the motherboard (Not 100%, but a solid start to look for)

That CPU isnt listed as a supported CPU on the Asrock site

Well the part # isnt there HDX830WFK4DGM

Check that the monitor is connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard.
Do you get power lights on the case?
Do the fans spin?
Are there any beeps?
Does the hdd activity light flash?

Paul NZ :

Really? It was working before, I just don't understand why its not now.

VincentP · Mar 16, 2017

It is an old AM2+ CPU. These are not listed in the CPU support list, but likely work as they were released long before this motherboard was manufactured.

VincentP :

Are there any other CPUs that you recommend?

VincentP · Mar 16, 2017

If you already have the CPU, I don't see any need to replace it.
Here is the CPU support list for this motherboard:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Pro3%20R2.0/?cat=CPU

In the Phenom II X4 range, it looks like the 840 and 850 are supported. These were released in 2011 and have a "Propus" core, where the 830 has a "Deneb" core and was released in 2010.

VincentP :

But do the CPUs you listed help out with the problem? If yes, I may have to get them. Otherwise, what can I do to help fix up the CPU I have now?

Albert Joshua · Mar 16, 2017

VincentP :

I made sure the monitor is connected to the graphics card.
What do you mean power lights? If you mean on the inside, I don't.
The fans do spin.
And the HDD activity lights do flash.

The PC itself turns on just fine, its just that for some reason, I have no display on my monitor, when it used to connect before.

Remove the graphics card and see if it works with onboard graphics.

So I tried using a new graphics card on my PC, which a friend of mind recommended me to try out. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sL98TW/asus-radeon-rx-460-2gb-dual-oc-video-card-dual-rx460-o2g

Unfortunately, there's STILL nothing showing up on the monitor. Does this mean that the CPU is the core problem?
