Hello
recently I purchased these parts for my first custom PC build.
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/WY6bzM
The short story is the PC didn't/doesn't post...
when I turn it on...
-The EZ Debug light for the CPU and DRAM lights up (white).
-The case fans, CPU fan, both GPU fans, PSU fan all run perfectly.
-Ironically, all 4 ram stick's LEDs light up as if they were working, yet like I said the debug light came up for them
-the monitor doesn't react at all (its plugged into an outlet and to the PC through a DVI-D dual link cable)
What I did (if it even matters):
-place CPU into socket, fits perfectly, no troubles
-placed a small drop of Nt-H1 thermal paste onto the CPU
-placed the CPU cooler heat sink and screwed it into place, fits perfectly, snug
-placed fan onto the cooler's heat sink and plugged the fan cable into the appropriate pins
-placed the 4 8Gig Ram sticks into the slots, fits well, a bit loose but I'm very confident its firmly in the slots
-put I/O shield in
-placed motherboard into case, screwed all 8 screws holding it down
-placed GPU into the x16 slot, fits well, used the case screws to hold it into place
-placed PSU into place with 3 screws, fits perfectly
-placed HDD and SSD into their places, fits well
-Connected ATX power cable, CPU power cable, system fans 1 and 2, PCI-e power cable for GPU, 2 SATA power cables to Drives, HD audio cable
-connected SATA data cables from motherboard to both drives (one cable has a 90 degree mount which is connected tightly (but I don't think its causing any problems)
-connected power cables for front I/O (HDD LED, Power LED, Reset switch, and power switch)
-turned PC on and the above problem is present :/
I don't know what I did wrong, I've been troubleshooting for many hours now and I'm wondering if I have any faulty parts, if I do I have no idea which one it could be.
If you need any additional info please let me know!!
Thanks for any help I happen to get
