Beginner Building Issues

[near raptor]

I attempted to put together a new computer, all seems well, all the fans turning on, GPU, etc. The only issue is my hdmi and monitor are not displaying anything, and none of the USB ports are working as my mouse and keyboard are not working. I have tried reseating the CPU, GPU, reconnecting all the wires, and I can’t figure it out, assistance would be appreciated.

Does your motherboard have any debug leds?

[near raptor]

It does not

[frosty mulch]

What are your specs?

[near raptor]

Ill add what specs I have, I have a ASUS PRIME B760M-A D4 motherboard, Intel I5-12600K CPU, and a NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU

@frosty mulch

[frosty mulch]

Hrmmmm

Try plugging into the motherboard for display

[near raptor]

Already did, nothing happened.

Don’t know what to do now

[feral kettle]

Where do you have the hdmi plugged in?

[near raptor]

I have tried both the GPU and motherboard hdmi ports

[feral kettle]

aight

you have a spare computer to test parts in?

[near raptor]

i do not

[feral kettle]

could you snap a pic of the computer so i can check if all the important things are plugged into the correct spots?

[near raptor]

Yeah, ill message you a picture

[topaz bolt]

Did you get sorted?

[near raptor]

I did not

@topaz bolt

[topaz bolt]

Hrmmmm

Tiz a strange one, I’m guessing you’ve tried different cable???

Just trying to rule out anything at this point

[near raptor]

Yeah i have

I still have no idea whats causing my issue, I have reconstructed the pc 3 times already

[frosty mulch]

Motherboard broken mebe

[near raptor]

Dont see how, all the fans work properly, ethernet cable shows that its giving power outwards.

[frosty mulch]

Are the pins in the socket fin?

[near raptor]

They are, checked it all

[frosty mulch]

Is the monitor fully functional?

[near raptor]

Yes, worked just fine on my old PC

[topaz bolt]

Do you still have old pc?

[near raptor]

No, I sold it a while back

[topaz bolt]

Sorry missed this

[frosty mulch]

Oooof

[topaz bolt]

CPU seated properly. @frosty mulch I’m guessing you’ve asked about beepcodes/lightcodes

[frosty mulch]

Yeah, said there were no light codes

[feral kettle]

yes

[frosty mulch]

@near raptor How long did you wait for the pc to post

[near raptor]

What do you mean by post?

[frosty mulch]

When something shows up on the monitor

[near raptor]

Over 2-3 minutes

[frosty mulch]

I forget the acronym for “post” but it basically means the computers components all work

[frosty mulch]

Maybe leave it for a while longer. See what happens.

[near raptor]

Ill go turn it on then

[frosty mulch]

It might take a while to train the memory. I’ve only heard of that happening for AMD, not Intel, but it’s worth a shot

[feral kettle]

it took my computer like 5 minutes to train on first boot.

not sure thats the issue here though since intel is usually way faster

[topaz bolt]

Man I’ve had some bizarre issues with both intel and and

[near raptor]

Ill just leave it running in the background

[topaz bolt]

AMD*

[feral kettle]

who knows though, could be the problem all along.

[frosty mulch]

Yeah I thought that too, but it’s worth a shot

[topaz bolt]

Does MB have any lights other than Ethernet?

[frosty mulch]

No debug leds

[near raptor]

No, only ethernet lighting

[topaz bolt]

I just wanted to see was there any sign of life from anywhere else

[near raptor]

Only other sign of life is whenever gpu is plugged into motherboard but not the psu and it glows red

[topaz bolt]

U tried one stick of ram different slots?

[near raptor]

Yeah, all 4

[frosty mulch]

Can you take a picture of the inside of your pc?

[topaz bolt]

Hmm mb seems to be doing its thing.

[near raptor]

Yeah, my cable management is awful but i dont care for looks as long as i have it all plugged in, this is an old image before i plugged everything in fully

[topaz bolt]

Don’t wanna look at mine. Linus would cry with my setup 😂😭

[near raptor]

Jeez, doubt yours is much worse

[topaz bolt]

Hardly dead ram…?

[near raptor]

Ram works fine, already tested it

[topaz bolt]

I have like 5/6 SSDs just blocking all airflow from front of case

[topaz bolt]

Why do computers suck when they go wrong 😂

[near raptor]

No idea

[topaz bolt]

Have you booted with mother but bare essentials to get to bios, psu, cpu, ram

Nothing but bare *

[near raptor]

Yeah

I tried without GPU etc

Also, its been running and still hasnt shown up on my monitor yet

[topaz bolt]

I mean everything looks ok.. to me.

[near raptor]

I dont know my issue, but for now ill turn the computer off

Been running for over 10 min now

[topaz bolt]

Yeah let’s not burn your house down tonight anyway

[near raptor]

Yeah it would be nice considering my house is made of wood

[topaz bolt]

😂😂. Sound cosey though.
