Hi everyone,
I am building a new computer, and I am having trouble getting it to POST and output video. I have gone through all steps of the stickied checklist to no avail. The only thing I have not tried replacing is the CPU.
I am breadboarding with just the following parts:
CPU: Intel i5-7500 with stock fan
MOBO: MSI H110M PRO-VD and Gigabyte H110M-A
RAM: 2 x Crucial 4GB DDR4-2113
+ Case speaker
I am working a Corsair 500W power supply which works perfectly on another PC.
On my MSI mobo, I get the following:
1. Boot without RAM -- get long beeps
2. Boot after properly seating 1 stick of RAM in either slot: no beeps, no screen
On my Gigabyte mobo, I get the following:
1. Boot without RAM -- get long beeps
2. Boot after properly seating 1 stick of RAM in either slot: no beeps, no video, reboots every 10 seconds
The CPU fan is working fine.
- I have tried replacing the RAM. It's unlikely that all 4 sticks failed.
- Unlikely that both mobos are failing. The MSI model was marked as "tested" by Microcenter
- The power supply works well on another PC
Is it possible that the CPU is the problem? It seems unlikely, but this is the only thing I have not replaced.
Thank you so much in advance.
