Hi all, thanks in advance. I am building a PC to run the Oculus Rift, and can't get it to POST. After pressing the 'on' button, I get power LED, all fans spinning, but no video output or beeps. There is a white light on the GPU. If I take out the GPU I get 5 long beeps after a few seconds of turning it on.

Components:
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 1600
GPU Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Mobo ASRock AB350M Pro4 (AM4)
Storage Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD
PSU Corsair CX650
RAM Team Elite 8GB DDR4-2400
Case Corsair Carbide 100R


Things I've tried:
- Everything in the "Perform These Steps First" thread
- Checked the BIOS version, P2.40 (which supports my CPU)
- Swapping out the PSU - no change. (Also checked my PSU's voltages with a multimeter - all pins are functioning in the right range)
- If I pull everything except the CPU and the HSF, I get 3 short beeps. (Main memory read / write test error according to the ASRock FAQ page) If I add the memory, I get 5 long beeps (No VGA card). If I add the GPU, I get no beeps.
- Replacing the motherboard - no change

My next thought would be to try replacing the GPU, but I obviously don't want to have to go through that if I don't have to.
Wat do?

Any and all suggestions are appreciated! I can pay you back in compliments, Internet friendship, and pictures of my pet guinea pigs.
 
Solution
Hi,
I assume you are connecting the monitor to the graphics card, and not motherboard?
If yes, then what video cable and (if) adapters using?

I figured this out actually! I was connecting to the motherboard which has no APU, and therefore no output. Rookie mistake. I just don't understand why those video ports are there then, but doesn't matter. It's working now. The other point of confusion was that ASRock motherboards don't beep on POST. So, problem solved. Thanks for responding though!
