OK something definitely has to be wrong. I did an external build of mobo cpu gpu and psu. The cpu fan, gpu fan, and psu fan spins but I still fukking get nothing. This is irritating me beyond belief.

What could it possibly be.

probably the psu, maybe the mobo. it's hard to pin down if you don't have a known working one to swap and test

have you done a minimalist build with just one stick of ram and no gpu (hdmi out to your monitor or whatever out of your cpu)?

 

[yseJ]

dude what does your post LED on the mobo say if you have one ? or does it not work ?

Yeah.

I have an Asrock 77 Extreme3. No LED. No anything. I get a no input no matter what I do. fukk man...it might be the mobo...

But its weird because it's supposedly receiving power through it when I do the external build. Everything connected through it receives power and begins working, far as I can tell, with the fans spinning.

extreme4 has it easier, it has a debug led, and also buttons to reset/shutdown...

try resetting cmos. take out the battery for a minute and put it back in.

I just might try that...tomorrow. Man I pretty much tried everything else

But could it also be a possibility that the lithium battery is dead?

no, if the battery was dead, mobo wouldnt function.

No diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

 

[yseJ]

so I think we narrowed it down to either the RAM or CPU.

I hate when this shyt happens. Sorry I can't help - it seems everyone's posted the right suggestions.

shouldn't he at least get some beeps if the RAM was bad?

Id think so, usually you get a beep for anything that is major error. maybe a mobo controller is broken or something, but otherwise this is a mystery.

I'm almost tempted to take it to FRYs and have them fukk around with it for $50

First build what a disaster
