HI everyone!
First time builder here. As luck would have it, my computer won't POST.
I'm getting five beeps from the system speaker. I did a little research and found out my motherboard uses the AMI beep codes.
5 beeps for AMI would indicate that there is an issue with the CPU.
I've tried the following:
- Read over the "PERFORM THESE STEPS before posting about POST/boot/no video problems!" on this website.
- Specifically, I tried moving the RAM back and forth between each slot and ensuring it is well seated, numerous times,
- Made sure the CPU fan was plugged in and working
- made sure the cpu power connection was solid
- removed the CPU and inspected the paste to ensure none had leaked anywhere, also looked at the pins and none look bent. I also double checked to make sure the CPU was lined up properly.
-repeated the above process after it didn't work...
Now what? :/
My research would indicate that a defective processor is unlikely.
Should I try returning the motherboard? I just bought everything today.
system consists of:
-Intel Pentium g4560
-gigabyte H110M-1 motherboard
- a single stick of 4gb DDR4 2133 RAM
- using integrated graphics(no dedicated video card)
- 120GB Kingston solid state drive
- diablotek diamond case W/ 400w UPS.
I should mention that the mother board was an open box model...I hat to throw money at the problem, but it seems like the best solution may be to try returning it to micro center tomorrow?
