Installed i7-4790k CPU, monitor won't turn on.

humorisog · Oct 3, 2017

I have an MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition Mobo and can't figure this out.

I have already:
checked cables (monitor recognizes it has an HDMI cable)
tried multiple HDMI cables
uninstalled and reinstalled GPU, CPU, RAM and mobo battery
turned on computer with only HDMI cord and power cord in (but all hardware)

I can't figure out if I need to or even can clear CMOS

I have not tried using my laptop as a monitor (don't know if that would make a difference)

question:
i know not to use a lot of thermal paste when installing a CPU, but is it possible that this might be from using too much?

i doubt this is useful information, but:
my case is an NZXT Phantom 530 White (full tower)
my monitor is a BenQ GL2460HM (LED)

any suggestions or insight is appreciated! thank you for reading!

is the system powering on means the CPU and other fans are running?

nitinvaid20 :

yes all fans are running

What is your CPU? If it has IGPU, boot with CPU only first (unplug other hardware), plug hdmi into mb. If beeped, power off, install ram and boot again. Let us know.

vapour :

ok, before i do that, the CPU in question here is an i7 4790k.

did you connect case jaud cord to mb?

vapour :

did you mean to say jaud? if so, i have no idea what that is.

Check MB manual
It has a port called JAUD, and you may need speakers to hear beep sound

humorisog :

Do you have speakers? plug it in

humorisog · Oct 4, 2017

vapour :

humorisog :

Do you have speakers? plug it in

i do not have speakers, just USB headphones

vapour · Oct 4, 2017

simple earphone is fine

humorisog · Oct 4, 2017

vapour :

ok, so then if i have my headset plugged in, what do i need to do?

vapour · Oct 4, 2017

usb headset may not work, boot with only cpu, see if beep

humorisog · Oct 4, 2017

vapour :

should i also remove hard drive, ssd and disk drive?

vapour · Oct 4, 2017

humorisog :

Yes.

humorisog · Oct 4, 2017

vapour :

ok i turned on my computer, but still nothing on my monitor, shouldnt it be taking me to my mobo's menu?

vapour · Oct 4, 2017

no beep?

vapour · Oct 4, 2017

Assume CPU, MB and RAM are good. Boot with only those 3, no GPU. And tell me what happens

humorisog · Oct 4, 2017

vapour :

no, but it was with my headset, so could have worked, maybe not. we dont know.

vapour · Oct 4, 2017

make sure monitor cable connects mb, what monitor do you have? what port? what port on mb?

humorisog · Oct 4, 2017

vapour :

my monitor is a BenQ GL2460HM (LED) and Im using HDMI on my motherboard
