The new gaming PC isn't starting up properly.
Hey all! I'm having some issues with my newly built PC. This is the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VRGRRv The issue I'm facing is that the PC does not seem to boot fine. All the parts seem to be working (all the fans are spinning, also the GPU fans). My friend is also building the same PC and had the same issue. We replaced our RAM to the one listed in the PCPartPicker and his seems to work with it. There is a DRAM LED on the right top side of the motherboard. Upon booting this turns orange. After waiting a while it turns off and after that nothing happens. While for my friend after a while this LED turns green. I've tried reseating the RAM, using different slots, using Displayport and HDMI cables, using both the GPU and motherboard as a video source but it doesn't help. When plugging it in the monitor (I've tried 2 monitors) both understand that they're plugged in but after a while just turn to 'No Signal'. Is there anyone here that could help me out? Thanks a lot!
If your friend is nearby, try their car. Ddr5 remains temporary and you’re covering early adoption costs plus acting as a tester.
Try starting with just one RAM stick installed. Some motherboards behave oddly during the initial boot. On my machine, I had to do that, and after Windows fully loaded I could turn it off and install the remaining RAM—it worked smoothly.
I’d consider swapping RAM first, obviously. That particular board appears to be quite problematic. Generally, Z690 Gigabyte boards tend to have many issues. In exchange, you could go with an MSI Tomahawk or similar model.
