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.

That board has graphics if a CPU with an integrated GPU is installed.
It has video connectors, but no GPU. NewEgg describes it like this:

[ Onboard Video ]
Onboard Video Chipset: Supported only by CPU with integrated graphic

That CPU does not have an integrated GPU.

Thank you very much. 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.

OK next question if I may. 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.

The selected processor (4790K), is the only processor
requiring F7 BIOS version.

See if there is a sticker with details of the BIOS version on it.
It could be at "F5" version right now.

Good catch, Paul. Sorry about that Al.

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?

Nasty, nasty...
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.
