Problem with the new PC not showing anything.
Problem with the new PC not showing anything.
I finally chose to upgrade my old Alienware Aurora R4. Swapped out the motherboard, CPU, SSD, and RAM. The case, PSU, GPU, and monitors stayed the same. When I turned it on outside the case, the fans started but nothing showed up—this was really confusing. I checked the GPU on another bench and it worked fine. I tested the PSU with a multimeter and everything looked normal. All connections seem correct. I tried various HDMI cables and connected my other monitor. My friends who built PCs can’t understand what’s going on. I’m hoping there’s something simple I missed, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Specs:
- Motherboard: Asus Pro B660M-C D4 CSPM
- CPU: Intel Core i3 12100F LGA 1700
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8)
- Storage: Crucial P2 1TB M.2-2280
- GPU: AMD Radeon GTX 550 Ti (not the main one for this build, but it’s fully working for testing)
- PSU: Dell N875EF-00 825W
- Monitors: Various HDMI cables and another monitor
Help would mean a lot!
Another issue occurred with my RX 570 on H110/310/510 boards, as it wouldn't boot there but works fine on others. This might be due to the unusual Chinese manufacturer or some compatibility problem.
