Hi, I need help on getting my first build gaming system. I have multiple problems, I guess I'm not good at this. I read many forums and follow many recommendations and haven't find an answer to fix any one of these. Any assistance would greatly appreciated.
Problems: No beeps after powering up. No Boot (no video output - Black screen), HDD light blinking red, FF error code flashing, and DVD Drive bay door self closed after opened. This is a new Build System (but used working MB and CPU).
Specs:
- MB: MSI 890FXA-GD70
- CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T - 3.3 GHz Six Core
- CPU Cooler: Corsair H70 Sealed System Liquid Cool
- RAM: 2 x 4GB DDR3 PC3-17000 2133MHz DIMM
- Graphic Card: XFX AMD ATI Radeon HD6970 HD 6970 2GB GDDR5
- PSU: ATX 750W Gaming PSU
- HDD: WD 3TB SATA USB 3.0
- ASUS DRW-24B1ST Internal SATA 24x CD DVD +/-RW DL
System checked: MB CPU Core indicator and Phase lights green and all fans comes on when power up, Video Card fan on and operational and CPU Cooler fan running.
1. I inspected the MB, ensured it's not grounded to the chasis, inspect all pins and connectors. Looks normal.
2. I checked CPU pins and alignment, OEM paste was used, and secured with Corsair H70 cooler. All secured properly.
3. I checked RAM in different slots and with one and both RAM, I also tried in other computers. Functional.
4. I checked the monitor, tried on other computer. Its functional.
5. I check the PSU voltage with digital meter, all output voltage are correct per Pinout diagram.
6. I switched the video card to different PCI-E1 through PCI-E4 slots, and no changes. 8 and 6 pins connectors recieved proper voltage and fan is operational.
7. I uses SATA7 3.0 plug for my WD HDD (not sure if I should use this port), don't know if its working or not. Its a new HDD (Fomated? I don't know).
8. I reset the MB using the reset touch button on the board and no effect.
I DID NOT do the following:
1. Clear CMOS (Clear CMOS button located all together with all the plugs in the back panel). I didn't mess with this.
2. Remove the MB battery.
3. Flash BIOS (don't really want to do this...don't know how to flash the BIOS).
Should I do the "Did not do"? Please help.
