New PC build: fans are working yet the screen remains off.
New PC build: fans are working yet the screen remains off.
I also recently acquired a PC speaker for testing purposes. It has a 4-pin connector, but what looks like a PC speaker plug is actually an 8-pin connection marked SPK_C11. I attempted to connect it to one of the 8 pins, but it didn't work. It seems this motherboard might not support a PC speaker.
No issue is BIOS. Need BIOS update. Sadly there is no Flashback option on that board. Man should have gone with Gigabyte board instead.
Well now you either take it to local store to get the bios updated. Or ask a friend who got similar build with previous gen CPU 13th Gen or 12th Gen CPU which got IGPU and get it working. Or Use Previous Gen GPU. If you got one. Or if your Friend has one. But yeah once you use RTX4000 series GPU the previous Gen GPUs stopped working too. So yeah getting previous Gen CPU be a safer bet but you can try with OLD GPU first as that is less pain to deal with than switching CPU.
I had a GTX 650 laying around that I tried but no dice with that either. Don't have anything else handy.
Since it sounds like the mobo is the issue, I'm just going to return it and buy something else rather than screwing around with it more. It was lacking an RBG and USB C plug I wanted anyways so maybe this is better. I'll follow back on this thread once the new mobo shows up and I can install it. Ordered a GIGABYTE Z790 UD AX that should be here sometime tomorrow.
Good decision, it's DDR5, so I've also ordered some fresh RAM.
Got my GIGABYTE Z790 UD AX and plugged everything in and the SAME problem as before. No display. There's a light on for VGA error.
But also did they send me a used and broken mobo? Look at these pics... CPU pins look bent and the locking mechanism on the PCI Express port literally has fallen off. It also didn't arrive in a static bag which was surprising.

Return for exchange. Where did you place your order? Generally, replacements are handled easily. Also, the RAM installation appears incorrect.
