Gigabyte motherboard beeps once for the firts time and never again

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

It's the first time I've a pc but I'm fairly sure that I've done it correctly.
My build is this:
-Gigabyte z270xp sli motherboard
-intel i5 7600k
-Focus plus gold 550 watts
-Asus strix 1070 gaming 8GB O8 (I'm not sure about the name)
- Ballistix elite crucial ddr4 memory 8Gb (I have 2 separete but not in the same kit)

I followed instruction and build it on the motherboard cardboard package so that I could first check if all works.
The fisrt time I turned it on it beeped but nothing happend, so I turned it off and on, but nothing beeped again.
I tought it was the psu but I can see that my GPU is powered on by it so it can't be.
I tried using the itegrated graphics on the cpu.
Tried using headphones to hear the beeps.
I tried removing one of the two ram sticks but nothing happened. I'm afraid the motherboard broke please help.

Also I forgot to ask If there is some fuse or something to search for, because I want to check before needing to go to a technician.

Long beep or short beep?

Please refer to this list for what it means.

The problem is that its not beeping again, and I'm not entering the Bios

androbourne · Dec 8, 2017

Are you able to even access the BIOS or see a splash screen on boot? Through the case can you see any light indicators on the motherboard doing anything like flashing?

What is it doing exactly when you try to turn it on? Do you see the fans spin for a second when you attempt to turn it on?

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

Nope, the only light is the Gpu's one, and I have it on the cardboard, do I need to install it maybe

androbourne · Dec 8, 2017

Depends on how you have it connected but yes I'd recommend you install it properly in the case.

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

Ok, but maybe it's something else? I'll do it now

androbourne · Dec 8, 2017

Just make you sure read the directions properly. Normally there is a CPU power and main motherboard power. It is possible you just didn't plug in the CPU power.

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

No I'm sure I inserted all the cables, maybe I needed the hard drive installed? The fisrt time I had it installed and the other ones not

androbourne · Dec 8, 2017

It shouldn't need a hard drive or anything to see POST. Just motherboard, CPU and PSU to see it POST on boot.

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

I'll see when I've completly build it, hope you can still help me at that point

androbourne · Dec 8, 2017

Of course. Just take your time and make sure everything is connected properly as per instructions. We can go from there.

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

Yea hi, I'm not done yet but just there, I wanted to say that I couldn't really know if the fans would spin for some seconds because I did not connected them until now, hope it works

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

I did it all and it does activate all, but nothing gets displayed. And after some times it goes off and then on without me touching it.

androbourne · Dec 8, 2017

When you first turn it on do you see anything on the display? or does it always just stay black?

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

It just says no signal the whole time

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

Also I've connected a keyboard but it doesn't work (at least I think because the lights don't turn on)

androbourne · Dec 8, 2017

Ok and how long does it remain on for before it shuts off?

If there is no post. Issue could be with CPU or the GPU.

I'd first try to remove your GPU from the system and plug the monitor directly to the motherboard. Your CPU has built in GPU.

This will help us rule out the GPU as the issue.

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

I will try, but I'm not sure because my motherboard has status lights and it says that my Dram and CPU have problems

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

Also it stays on about 20 seconds, than turns off, and right when the fans stop moving it turns right on

androbourne · Dec 8, 2017

Remove the GPU, plug into back of motherboard and try it again.

Issues could also be temp related. Did you properly seat the heatsink on the CPU with terminal paste?

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

Yes, I have a hyper 212 evo cooler master and I did all the steps, also my cpu is not overclocked yet.

lhgino2003 · Dec 8, 2017

Also I noticed that the GPU fans turn on and off immediatly, as you suggested at the beggining

androbourne · Dec 8, 2017

Just because its not overclocked doesn't mean it's not overheating...

Normally when a computer runs for a bit and shuts it's self down, its an indication of a power issue or power heating. It shuts down to protect the hardware.

What cable is connected to the CPU power port on the motherboard? It should be labeled on the end of the cable.
