Hi all, I have just built the following system:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600X
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-HD3 (rev. 1.0) AM4 AMD B350
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory Model
SSD: Kingston A400 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9x65 SE-AM4 premium-grade low-profile CPU cooler
No GPU.
Case (with built in 300 W power supply): In Win BL641 SFF mATX Slim case with IP-S300FF1-0 H Haswell Ready power supply
Monitor: HP 22ER Frameless Silver/White 21.5" 14ms (GTG) IPS Widescreen LED Monitors, HDMI 1920 x 1080 60Hz
After putting it all together, it powers up fine, the mobo lights up, CPU fan and system fan run, etc. I get one beep from the motherboard speaker I installed, as the GA-AB350M-HD3 manual says I should. There is no signal to monitor, unfortunately.
I went through the checklist here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems (are there any newer versions of this?). Ran into no issues, and nothing I've tried (resetting CMOS, using different monitors) seems to work. If I try to start without the RAM stick in, I simply don't get any beep.
This is my 4th PC build, but I have never run into this issue (no signal to monitor) before. And I don't know much about what the new Ryzen CPUs and associated motherboards have issues with. Some things I'm thinking:
1) The RAM is incompatible. If this were the case, would it still beep once but not show anything on the monitor? (Looking at the GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-HD3 memory compatibility list, I cannot find the Ripjaws V Series DDR4 3000 RAM, so the RAM is not compatible. I just didn't think this would show up as no monitor signal...
2) The motherboard onboard video doesn't work, and I actually need a video card. I didn't think this would be the case, and I thought I could just plug directly into the GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-HD3 motherboard as it's suppose to have onboard video.
3) The power supply is not strong enough. The Newegg calculator suggests 383 W, while it's only a 300W PSU. I'm not sure why this would manifest solely as "the monitor doesn't get a signal" though.
4) Some other issue I'm not thinking of.
Before I buy new RAM or a GPU, I would deeply appreciate any help for a relative newbie and a Ryzen newbie. Thank you very much!
