System starts up without issues, GPU appears fully functional despite no visible output.
I have an Aorus Pro Ax with B560m (F12 BIOS), an i5-11400f CPU, and a couple of memory kits. One kit has 3000MHz and the other 3200MHz. I’m using two 16GB DDR4 kits. The PSU is Corsair 7600 GB 850W, plus a 500GB SSD and a 2TB HDD for games. I noticed my computer won’t boot normally, there’s a VGA light, and sometimes it powers on without me entering the password. I think the issue might be with the GPU or the power supply, not the storage drives. After trying a different GPU (1050Ti) and another setup, posting still doesn’t happen. If I don’t have the latest CPU model, I’m considering connecting my video cable directly to the motherboard. I’ve reset the CMOS, booted with one RAM, re-seated the GPU, tried different hardware, monitors, and ports, but nothing works. I’m really frustrated and need advice.
Ensures functionality when connected via the mainboard. Change IGP settings to AGP in the BIOS.
since I have the f version I don't have any display when plugged into motherboard I tried to force my motherboard pcie slot to be in 4 gen mode but that didn't work any more ideas?
I wasn't able to install the drivers because the GPU isn't properly connected. I also discovered that the PC sometimes boots with the 1050ti, which might mean the issue isn't here. My IT teacher recommended replacing the old cooler, but I wasn't sure about that. After some research, I learned the CPU might be misplaced and reseating it could help. My brother usually fixes similar problems by reassembling the whole system—it often works. Should I try this?
I don't have information about what cooler you installed. Could you clarify which cooler you're referring to?
I've just unscrewed everything out of my case, put everything on a motherboard box, installed everything needed to post(with different PSU), and the pc booted up as usual!!! I'm very happy that all of my important components work! I think all of this means 2 potential problems... 1. mobo shorting to my case 2. faulty PSU or cable or maybe a different one ??? I'm planning to put everything back inside my case, change every cable I can and try once again If you think its a bad idea please stop me
It has been some time since I purchased a new case, and everything was put together successfully. Thankfully, it worked until my RAM installation in the third slot from the motherboard caused issues. I spent a lot troubleshooting, and discovered that when RAM is placed in slot B1, the system fails to boot or display anything—CPU and DRAM lights flicker briefly before stopping completely. Once the RAM is removed from slot B1, the PC boots normally but only supports 24GB. How can I get all RAM slots to function properly?
