![]() But I think the lack of any beeps as well as the CPU_LED being lit means that there is a problem that is stopping the actual boot from happening. It's brand new and I've not tried it with another computer. So onto the other suggestions.the monitor I'm not sure on. Should I try it anyway? I believe the Intel one also has paste pre-applied. I also haven't tried the stock Intel cooler as I've no way to remove the old paste. When I reattached the cooler I tightened that area down first, but as I have no spare paste I'm re-using the initial application. Still the error remains.Īnother thing I noticed is that when I removed the plate from the H100i that sits on the CPU there was about a quarter of the CPU that had no thermal paste on it. I've also used the jumper to clear CMOS RAM and removed the CMOS battery as well. I've been at it again all day, and have now reseated the CPU. Is this significant? In the manual it appears you can use a block of 8 pins OR a block of 4 ( in the right-most slots). But the left-most bank does not match - 2 of the pins are the wrong shape. The bank that goes into the right-most 4 slots on the CPU socket matches up perfectly. The PSU cable for the CPU is split into 2 banks of 4 pins. It's a little hard to explain, but basically they are either square or straight on 3 sides and rounded on one. When I put the mobo onto a box outside the case and tried to get the essentials running I noticed that the 8 pins that form the CPU socket on the mobo do not match up exactly to the 8 pins on the CPU cable coming from the PSU. I don't have any thermal paste though (the H100i has it pre-applied) so I'm not sure if I can reseat the CPU?Īny help at all would be greatly appreciated. Going to rest up now, then tomorrow take it all apart and try to build it outside of the case. It's late now and I've been at it all day. Just want to enjoy the system but I can't even make it to a boot screen! This is my first build and I guess I bit off more than I could chew. I've tried reseating the RAM, I've taken the GPU, HDD, SSD and case headers off, swapped PSU cables for the CPU, flashed the latest BIOS via USB but so far nothing has helped.Ĭould the PSU be a dud? The CPU? The motherboard? I'm so confused. I'd be so grateful to anyone who can help. I've tried all sorts of things and am at my wit's end. I noticed the error code readout says 00, and the small red LED that is for the CPU is lit. Upon further inspection, although the LEDs on the graphics card and H100i are on, and the fans are spinning, nothing else seems to be happening. Thought everything was going well, but I didn't get a display when I turned the PC on. ![]() Finally bought all the components for my first PC build, and put it together yesterday. ![]()
