So /g today I got my case for my new computer, I was super excited and and put all the parts together even though I don't have the sshd yet. I get everything in the case and setup and then this shit happens.
(https://youtu.be/c-S2_-XSMBE)
I tried everything, taking the CPU out and reseating it, CMOS reset, disconnected all parts and power then reconnected the power. Now it's just the board CPU ran and PSU.
All the parts are brand new and I thing one of them might be bad can you tell in the vid if it's my PSU, CPU, or board that's shot or if there's a fix?
>>54413803
Your mobo comes with a manual that tells you the debug codes.
>>54413817
Yeah and it says CPU isn't getting power
>>54413803
the internet is a good resource for the information you're looking for
duckduckgo.com
>>54413803
It looks like there's liquid leaking from out the bottom of your cooler. How much paste did you apply?
>>54413889
I couldn't find my good paste so I used the stuff that came with the cup fan, that shit was runny as fuck it ALMOST got in the CPU socket but it didn't
>>54413828
Connect the fucking PSU to the mobo. It's not only one connector, there are two or even three.
>>54413937
There are 2 connections and I plugged them both in
>>54413803 >>54413828
So, have you connected all the power cables on your motherboard? There was a thread like a week or two ago with anon not connecting the CPU power cable. I don't see a shit. If you are taking photos you should consider making them informative and not taken from the most retarded angle you can.
>>54413873
>>2015+1
>>Using CuckCuckGo instead of superior Searx.Me
>>54413828
Maybe the flashing LEDs draw all the power and there is nothing left of the CPU.
>>54413803
/g/ is NOT your personal tech support team or personal consumer review site.
>>54413960
>>54413803
so op did you realize you fan is on backwards unless you took the mounts of and turned it around
>>54413960
.
>>54413964
muh hacker search engine
might as well use altavista.
>>54413960
..
what mobo is that
>>54413997
This isn't the CPU power connector.
>>54414055
I posted that too
>>54414048
EVGA Z170 FTW
Check the socket pins. RMA both CPU and mobo.
Ram or BIOS.
>>54414143
None of them are bent, is it common boards and CPUs are shot?
lmoa what are you doing
>>54413997
>>54414186
Idk what am I doing
>>54414212
that pcie plug is there to provide the motherboard with more power in case youre running sli, not needed at all.
>>54414266
Idk I had the no CPU power thing so I just plugged every slot in
>>54414310
Way to go retard not you killed the motherboard.
You only need >>54414022 and >>54414044
and the CPU-Fan header.
>>54413936
After all that shit you're gonna nigver out on $6 thermal paste? Shit man you stupid
Are you sure the CPU cooler is tight?
>>54414329
That's all I had but after 10 tries it wouldn't work so I plugged in the other
>>54414400
could be too tight.
>>54413803
Place mobo on cardboard or something, might be shorting out somehow.
>>54414349
I had thermal paste and couldn't find it so I used stuff that came with it
>>54414421
On a wooden desk, idiot?
beep codes?
>>54414449
Thank you
>>54414449
that's why i said somehow. dust. varnish, case screw you didn't realize was there. But you are telling me you didn't rule out a short yet?
>>54414456
No beeps, this is why I ask if it's just shot
>>54414480
plug in a speaker.
>>54414496
It has one on the mobo but no beeps
Turn on your power supply.
>>54414510
try different psu
>>54414514
Did you watch the vid???
>>54414514
Also one or your rams isn't seated properly
Try with just 1 ram stick on a different slot.
>>54414541
I can tomorrow when my friend is free but this is my only one
>>54414542
Not until after I posted.
>>54414559
I did>>54414562
>>54414554
this. in the video even one of the ram sticks isnt plugged in all the way.
fix it op
>>54414554
This
>>54414164
For CPUs it is like 1 in a 1000. For motherboards way more common. The only thing you can also check is your power supply if you have any spare one. If you don't have a spare one or you can't test this one with another mobo, then just RMA your parts.
>>54414605
I'll try the psu tomorrow, I really wanted to avoid RMA =( I have to wait for parts again. I figured it was the board since it was bent a bit in the package.
SEAT YOUR FUCKING RAM YOU IDIOT
>>54414048
A fried one
>>54413803
>those LEDs
oh wow
>>54414801
Yeah but honestly they are uneeded and might be fucking with a connection, I can't help it they put them on this board
>>54414857
I'm I fixed it and it still didn't work
>>54414874
maybe because you fried it by trying to boot with one half plugged in
>>54414893
Is that even possible?
>>54413803
If your CPU isnt geting power, take it out of the mobo and check the Pins.
If you got just one pin off, you can JUST the whole thing.
http://www.evga.com/support/manuals/files/140-SS-E177.pdf
>>54414912
JUST the whole thing?
>>54414912
>>54414925
If one pin is slightly bent or alot, then Mobo can actually start, even to a desktop. However It can also get completly fucked.
Fucking pins man.
If you indeed fucked up a pin, forget about returning the mobo under a warranty, they will fuck you out.
Protip: Take it to a watchmaker...
>>54414913
I have it senpai
>>54414940
Then read and understand it
Especially pic related
>>54414939
Everyone keeps saying bent pin show me the bent pin
Your ram is in the wrong slots, retard
>>54414973
I did

>>54414991
>You need to take the CPU out, and then look at the pins on the motherboard. How the fuck should I show you, if you dont have any pics of your pins.
If you see a "dark spot"on your mobo pin, but cant see it being bent... its fucking bent.
>>54414973
>>54415004
What the fuck is this
The printed one makes no sense
>>54415014
I posted the pic but it didn't upload with that comment
OP, show us your socket photo. Without the CPU, obviously. And to me that 24-pin >>54414874 looks definitely not properly connected. Again, check you god damn connections and push them hard until they line up perfectly for fucks sake.
>>54415026
Try a sharper picture and under better light.
>>54415018
I did all the directions and it was still wrong
>>54415030
I pushed them as hard as I could till it clicked and it's as far as it will go
Is the CPU cooler even mounted? Or did you just put it on top of the fucking CPU
>>54415026
Those pins are fine anon.
Just RMA the fucker, DOA motherboards are more common than you think.
>>54414911
>>54415039
>>54415062
Ok the only last two things I can think of:
a] you need to reset your cmos. This can be the case that the mobo is set up for a different cpu, and the cmos cant deal with your fucking new cpu
b] This is almost impossible, but maybe there is a factory issue that your mobo cant handle your cpu or ram, even tho they should fit. This happend with the fuckingcocksuckingass MSI Z170A, where the fucking mobo didnt work ONLY WITH ONE MODEL OF GPU. It didnt work with gtx 980ti G1.
Msi response: fucking return it and buy a different one. Holy shit was i mad when it happened to me
>>54415076
I think I'm gonna have to, I feel bad for not being able to fix this myself but I can't see the problem and either way it takes teams of people to design a mobo or cpu, I guess if I could it on my own I would have a job =/
I really hope that you haven't swapped the GPU and CPU power cables
If you did, the board is toasted
>>54415098
Well thats even worse.
But ye, those pins look fine.
Ok you need to make sure that when you install the cpu cooler, make sure all 4 fucking screws are in the mobo. Some will fuck you until you screw them all in.
What does this display on your board
>>54415120
>>54415125
They were harder to take off because they used 2 sets of screws and bolts and when you started to loosen it it would just spin
>>54415142
Flashing c the ppl on evga phone support said this meant the CPU wasn't getting power
>>54415165
>>54415109
Try to reset cmos. Dont forget to take out the fucking battery.
If this doesnt help, your mobo is fucked.
You need to exchange it. Without visable damage, they shoudl do it without a hassle, even if you did permanently short it.
>>54415180
Just a C?Or a C with a number?
>>54415187
It's fucked, I'll keep taking pics and responding but thanks guys it was worth a shot
>>54415190
Just c
>>54414911
Happened to my brother man. Happened to one of my trash laptops as well.
>>54415120
They're both 12V with similar pinout - nothing would happen. I tried it.
>>54415062
I don't see that 24-pin to be pushed all the way to the end. I see a gap there which need to be fixed. If it "clicks" it doesn't mean it is properly connected. Take out and fix this connection, use your palm under 24-pin connection slot to not brake the board.
>>54415233
There's a gap on one side of this RAM because there's only one of those lock switched on one side of the RAM slots
>>54415226
They seem to be the opposite to me
>>54415255
I'm not talking about the RAM. I'm still talking about this >>54415030 Forget the RAM, you would get a proper post-code and beeping from the speaker if there was a problem with RAM.
Regarding EPS12v vs PCIE - http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html
OP shouldn't be able to plug the wrong connector in in theory.
>>54415270
>>54415268
TOASTYYY
>>54415268
Depends on the orientation.
>>54415293
On the motherboard end - of course not. But most modern PSUs have shared slots for CPU/PEG/Others, because it's all the same output.
What about that BIOS chip. It says 'removable' in manual. Is that one can be taken out and placed back? If so, you can try, you know, unplug and plug again.
>>54415410
No, I don't want to pull on it too hard and really remove it
>>54415513
Idk, last thing I would try is maybe remove the memory and try to start it without it - just cpu and mobo. You should get a different post-code, that would mean mobo might be actually fine.
>>54415375
Yup, and the cable is build so it outputs to the right pins...
>>54413936
Omg
>>54413952
Wait. So theres an 8pin CPU and a 4pin CPU power connector and you plugged them BOTH in?
Or do you mean ATX power (mobo) and CPU power when saying "both"?
>>54413997
Pull that shit out again.
You dont need it.
Have you run a bios update yet? Most new boards have a bios flashback function that can update bios without a working cpu
>>54413803
>that improperly installed RAM module
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>54415341
sorry dude but you can't force that shit to go the other way to make your argument valid.
