Here are the components:
FX-6300
GA-990fx-ud5 (it has a very old bios on it I believe)
2x2gb crucial ram
HD 6850
128gb crucial mx1000
600w coolermaster psu
Basically when I turn the computer on the all the fans spin on the computer (cpu, gfx, case, psu etc) but the monitor says no signal. I am 100% sure the monitor is fine and the dvi-d cable i am using is fine also. I don't think the computer is posting because I am getting no error beeps from the motherboard speaker that i plugged in. I assume no beeps = no post.
My belief is that the error is related to the fact that I have a piledriver cpu and I have a REV 1 of the UD5 so the bios is not up to date. Is this how the computer would behave in such a scenario?
- I have tried one stick of ram and different ram slots. The ram worked fine in a different computer the other day so I don't think it is the ram.
- The cpu is brand new so I don't think it is that.
- The psu is old but has not been stressed that much so I don't think it is that.
- The gfx card is old but has never not worked before.
- The monitor has never not worked either and lcd monitors are usually pretty hardy.
My suspicion is the motherboard is broken/shorting or the cpu is incompatible without a bios update.
Any suggestions as to how I can work out what the problem is? I am going to try removing the battery from the motherboard now to see if that helps and I will report back.
Thanks in advance guys! :-)
