Hi all, could really get some advice on how to fix the problem.
Problem: No VGA signal from the integrated card. The CPU fan is spinning fine.
New PC setup
- (NEW) Intel 12th Gen i5-12600K LGA1700
- (NEW) Corsair 16GB (2x8) CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 DDR4 3200MHz Vengeance LPX DIMM Black
- (NEW) Asus TUF Z690-PLUS Wifi LGA 1700 DDR4 ATX Motherboard
- (EXISTING) Samsung 1 TB M.2 SSD
- (EXISTING) EVGA 750W B2 PSU
The monitor is connected to the M/B via HDMI cable. The monitor and cable is confirmed to be working prior to new components and on existing laptop.
CPU fans and motherboard fans are spinning when powered on.
Only the BOOT Q-LED stays on after power on, CPU/DRAM/VGA Q-LEDs light up after power on but stay off. Do not have BIOS speaker connector so can't diagnostic via it.
ASUS website says to check M2.SSD connected properly. I've checked, it is, and it works before the new components.
My understanding is that the motherboard can still post to BIOS and let me access the setup WITHOUT the SSD. So I don't think it's the SDD causing the lost of VGA signal to monitor.
I have a dedicated graphics card but have not used it yet. So troubleshooting with minimum hardware.
Some other notes
- I need to "press" the power button twice to actually power up the motherboard. Don't know why.
- I upgraded the PC components because I THOUGHT my old CPU/mobo/ram (either one) was broken. The old PC could not even boot up. (my toddler son flicked the power off the wall while my PC was on, and I can no longer start up the machine again) Took the PSU to a shop and it was tested fine. Again, I know the monitor is working because I'm using it now.
Thank you all!
