Help with new build not starting.
I put a system together to run bare bones until I get used to using the
BIOS and decide on what additional hardware I'll go with. So far I have the components assembled on a test case. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=computer+test+case I went with Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H Intel Core i7-4790K Haswell Quad-Core 4.0GHz Crucial Ballistix Tactical Low Profile 32GB Kit SILVERSTONE Strider Plus ST50F-P 500W ATX 12V v2.3 & EPS 12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply I know the PSU will ultimately be twice what I am using now. I just wanted to get this to boot but what I see is the CPU fan start and stop and start over and over. Nothing past that. My first thoughts were to go with a 1000 W hoping that is all it could be. However I am also wondering it I somehow missed something else like not installing a graphics card. This board says it has on board graphics to I plugged in two monitors. This board supports up to three. This is not my first build and have never had any troubles in the past but things were much simpler until I tacked this board. At first glance can anyone see anything I am not assuming the wiring is correct. One cable to the board seems to be all I need. I removed connections to SSD and DVD. I have the mouse and KB connected right as the UBS ports are marked. The monitors are a no brainer. I don't have a mobo speaker so I can't hear any beeps. Should I get one and try to go from there? I press the delete key but no bios appears. Any help would be appreciated. I wanted thoughts from posters here before I started asking for support from the board manufacturer. I'm sure the CPU is seated as I heard the clicks, looks good from the other side and plenty of grease was applied. TIA. Al. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

I read the entire board manual several times and somehow missed that. I knew I came to the right place. I'm still waiting for my registration on other forums to be validated. Regards.

I installed a g-card and nothing changed. Also am I to understand that I need an OS to load G-card drivers? Backing up I still need to get past the BIOS what is not happening. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

Paul I don't see anything that clearly indicates a BIOS version unless it is in a code digit somewhere. I bought this specific CPU as it was recommended as compatible. I'm unsure about installing the required BIOS version if that's what I need to do. What are your suggestions? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

If you bought the wrong CPU, (aside from a MB and heatsink fan that briefly spins - however logically then it would), and as in but for sure that MB does not support your CPU - until you FLASH the BIOS, well then - it for sure will, unmistakably, once the updated BIOS sees that CPU and brings it up, all barrels blazing. Which means you've got to find a CPU, anything that will work with that MB, so the MB is Up & Running - In Order to initiate and peform the BIOS update. Better than a CPU which is totally unsupported. I once refused delivery from an outfit which wanted to play games when I asked them about a MB and whether or not the BIOS was updated for the CPU I also bought from them. They suggested I go to BestBuy and buy a CPU to flash it, then return the CPU & get refunded from BestBuy. Just in case they may have sent an older board revision BIOS. For sure it's helpful when people are so helpful. But, boy, were they ****ed about eating shipping costs when I refused their delivery. |

Both these items are new with no chance of either being older versions. They both same out the end of this month if I'm not mistaken. Also if I'm not wrong both are non-refundable so I have to somehow determine if either are defective. It seems that I have to search for anything that shows the results I'm getting and see what might be the cause. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
