Building a new system with:
GA-H110M-S2H motherboard
Intel i3-7100 CPU
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133 (1 piece)
RAIDMAX 300W PSU
After connecting everything, the power will go on for a few seconds and then cycle. So I consulted the how-to video and made sure I had followed everything. I had, and so then I disconnected everything and tested step by step. Here's the sequence of what happens:
With only the fans connected to the MB, fans will run forever.
Connect CPU but not ATX power, fans will run forever.
With ATX power connected, system will issue 5 long beeps and then power cycle after about 15 seconds.. Various threads have suggested that this is an indication that the RAM isn't seated correctly (which of course it isn't, as I'm progressing step by step).
Next, with RAM installed, no beeps, and system power cycles every few seconds.
So it's most likely that the RAM is DOA, right? I don't have another system to test it in, but before I go buy another stick tomorrow, I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Really, the RAM discovery was somewhat fortuitous, since when I disconnected everything to connect and test step-by-step, I disconnected the speaker and then when it failed without the ram, I was assuming the issue was power supply/motherboard/CPU. Then I thought to plug in the speaker just to see if it would help.
And yet, I'm not convinced since if the RAM itself were bad, wouldn't I still get beeps?
