Hey guys so my friend and his uncle are having a little trouble with his new pc, they’ve built the pc but are getting no post, they’ve tried switching the ram sticks from 1 n 3 to 2 n 4, tried using hdmi instead of display port for both motherboard and gpu and there’s still no post on the monitor, any ideas?
#PC won’t post

Does it say no signal or just a black screen?
heavy sorrel
Let me ask
heavy sorrel
Does it say no signal or just a black screen?
Sorry it took so long, he said no signal
strange night
Then it’s probably a faulty cable or port on the monitor.
Try another monitor or cable
heavy sorrel
He says the cable definitely works cause he uses it for his older pc and the monitor does too but he’s trying another port
He said there’s only one port and he’s used the monitor before and it works
strange night
In the video you posted what is that red light on the gpu?
heavy sorrel
I don’t know honestly I looked that up also there’s a forum saying it’s supposed to be turned off when there’s power to the gpu but in that guys situation everything works fine it’s just that the red light is always on
strange night
I would try reseating the GPU and the ram I know ram can cause weird issues
strange night
If reseating doesn’t work try reseating the cpu
heavy sorrel
Okay I’ll tell him that also
He reseated ram and gpu still doesn’t work, he’s going to try cpu now
Alright he reseated the cpu, still not working
heavy sorrel
For what the gpu?
strange night
Yeah
heavy sorrel
Okay I’ll ask
He said he did
Could it be that the cpu isnt compatible? It says something about that in the pcpartpicker list about having to update bios or something
strange night
Oh yeah if the motherboard came out before 14th gen came out It could require a bios update
heavy sorrel
How can they update the bios without it posting though lol
strange night
Does the motherboard have a bios flashback button? It should be on the rear io if it does
Or it could be somewhere else on the board
Check the manual
heavy sorrel
I’m sure it has flashback but I don’t think he knows where it is
I’ll tell him to read the manual
strange night
Okay since it has flashback this should be pretty easy do you have a spare usb drive perhaps?
strange night
Where is it on the board?
heavy sorrel
Idk but he’s getting a drive right now
On the website it shows how to be done I sent it to him
strange night
Every thing else you need to do is easy and can be googled so my work here is done
heavy sorrel
Yea thank you bro I rlly appreciate it
