New rig will not post (w/video)

Atnevon · Oct 17, 2008, 07:27 AM

Hey TPU,

So (xazraelx and I) we just got our new rig put together, and, well, nothing. We are not sure what the problem could be. We have everything plugged in, all the parts seem to be powered, but we still have a blank screen, with no posting of any sorts.

We tried to undo the RAM from the DIM slots and see if we could get some reaction of a sort. Nothing. So, we are pretty much clueless.

Here is our part list that is relative:

Foxxcon a7GM-S
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...oxcon%20a7GM-S

Antec Earthwatts 430w PSU

Crucial Balistix 2x1gb (the duel sided ones)

and thats about it for at least the posting portion. I can't think of anything else that would be important for this stage other than those parts.

Video here:

Thanks for any ideas TPU,

FOXCONN!

Sorry, I am not an expert on Foxconn motherboards, but maybe this link will help.

Seems no beep means something to Foxconn.

System Specs ?
try to install your motherboard outside (possible bad contact with pc case or short circuit).

CPU maybe?

xazraelx · Oct 17, 2008, 10:28 AM

CPU is 6000+

It was ordered from newegg, just going to RMA it and get a new one.

B1gg3stN00b · Oct 17, 2008, 04:39 PM

Here's what I did when I had this same problem on my brother's PC.

1. Remove Power supply from the case completely.

2. Reinstall power supply, make sure every connection is snug and proper

Your system is pretty demanding.....it could be the PS.....my Antec 500 wouldn't boot up my new system, but the Corsair 620w did no probs.

sneekypeet · Oct 17, 2008, 05:38 PM

I think the system is fine....the ram is my guess. Crucial wants 2.0 or better to post most times.

Suggestion.... get any other lower voltage stick of ram and try to boot with that, set the voltage in bios. Turn it off and install the Crucial. I personally have had this issue many times with an initial boot.

Not too sure why the mobo wont beep tho, ae you possotive it has an onboard speaker? Have you tried getting a speaker to put on the front pin header?

It's funny I never thought about the RAM, since I had that happen to me on a gigabyte board as well. Luckily, I have some extra RAM around that will run at 1.8. I'll try that, and as for the speaker, no, I'm not sure. I know on their website it says not all models have an onboard speaker, but it didn't list which ones -_- I'm also not sure what you mean when you say hook a speaker up to the front pin header?

Thanks.

plugs in where the HDD and power/reset hooks in! Also zooming in on the image at the egg I see no onboard speaker.

JrRacinFan · Oct 17, 2008, 06:39 PM

Try a cmos clear before anything. Then try the 1 stick boot. If that doesn't work, try a different stick like was suggested. If that too fails, I know this will be a mess, but take everything out of the case and 1 stick boot with a different stick.

If all this comes back no good, I am beleiving its a DOA motherboard.

I'll have to get / make one of those, it looks nifty and useful in the rarest times (but still something you just gotta have).

JrRacinFan: I already cleared the CMOS. I'm moreso leaning towards the RAM issue, mainly because I've had it before. I plan on putting in a piece of OCZ gold when I get back. They run stock at 2.0v, but worth a try. They've worked before in this scenario.

no mobo beep= motherboard fail.

Apparently that's not true if there is no onboard speaker.
