Why is my New Build Not Working?

uSavagePatchKid · Jul 12, 2017

I just helped my friend build a PC and it does not output a picture. All of the fans spin, even the graphics card (EVGA GTX 1050 Ti) fan spins and all of the case and motherboard LEDs turn on. I have tried 2 crappy Dell monitors using a HDMI to VGA adapter and it is very possible that is the problem. Tomorrow I will try plugging into a TV or monitor but, any ideas about what the problem is?

Try a cmos reset of your mobo. Look in the mobo manual on how to do this. Also, post the component list. Details are needed to provide more suggestions.

that is most likely no POST. If you had a speaker or the motherboard has codes it would make your and our life easier.

Actually, I did hear some dinging noises like a phone notification, I hit F2 the second it started up and it is possible that I entered the BIOS but didn't know.

Take out the GTX1050. Connect your monitor to the mobo video out. Now do the cmos reset. Power up - are you now gettng the bios screen?

I have tried using the graphics card with my personal computer it has a Core i7 7700, ASUS B250-C-CSM Motherboard and EVGA 500B but it worked.

That's good - your new GPU is known good. So, you know that it should work in the new PC. Keep it out of the new PC for now. You need to diagnose the problem with rest of the hardware. Once again, connect your monitor to the mobo video out. Now do the cmos reset. Power up - are you now getting the bios screen? If it doesn't boot to bios, it's time to check the RAM. Take out one stick. Try this stick in each RAM slot. Then, try the other stick in each RAM slot.

My friend compared this build (his) with my build and we noticed the CPU power connector was unplugged. Thank you everyone for contributing to this form.
