Greetings every body, finally decided to build my own computer with the following major components
Motherboard: ASRock A320M-DGS
CPU: Ryzen 3 1300x
Graphics: EVGA GTX 1050 Ti
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 2400 8GBx1
PSU: EVGA 500 BQ
after watching numerous build videos and learning that i should make sure my parts work before installing everything into my case, i did just that and to my surprise i could not get my system to POST
my fans would turn on but i would hear no sort of beep (i dont think the motherboard comes with a speaker for this, no light either)
i reseated the cpu several times and adjusted the pressure on the cooler, i heard this was an issue sometimes, i double checked to make sure all my connections were solid and my ram (tried both slots) and graphics were seated properly as well. The motherboard does include on-board graphics so i tried that output and still nothing (though I've heard risen 3 doesn't support on board graphics). I read my motherboard manual and did the whole clear cmos thing as well and still nothing. I did read a couple reviews on Newegg where i purchssed the motherboard and saw reviews of a couple people receiving theres DOA. I want to try to see if i can get mine to start before i declare it DOA. Could it be that my ram is incompatible? I did try to start it without ram as well and nothing there either. My graphics works on my other computer but i have no way of diagnosing a bad cpu if thats the case. prior to making my purchase I heard risen takes forever to post on the first time but I've given my system minutes to post after trying all the troubleshooting there is to do and nothing happens. Im lost and need help since i am pretty new to this. I appreciate the replies if any, thanks!
