Greetings,
I recently purchased the below (top 4 items from OCUK) to replace an ageing thin-client serving out its last days as a PLEX server. Server doesn't ever have to stream anything over 720p, and the below build is a vast improvement for the small budget.
Specs:
Asus H110I Plus Intel H110 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ITX Motherboard
CoolerMaster Elite 110 Armour Edition Mini-ITX Cube Case - Black
Intel Pentium Dual Core G4400 3.30GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail
be quiet! Pure Power 10 300W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply
CORSAIR ValueSelect 4GB DDR4 2600 RAM
Kingston A400 SSD (OS LUbuntu 18.04)
Seagate 2TB HDD 2.5"
WD 1TB HDD 2.5"
About three/four times since its build (three weeks ago approx) the system has collapsed in a heap, displayed pixellated colours on the monitor and accepted no input. Bouncing the system after this results in no successful POST, but fans whir happily. I have been through it from the ground up, and am leaning towards a faulty mobo, but would appreciate some outside insight.
I have (removing CMOS batt between each step):
Re-seated the CPU (no POST)
Unplugged everything, plugged back in, boot, POST success. Start to look at logs, pixellated screen of death.
Removed everything bar the CPU (no drives, no peripherals, no RAM), borrowed the speaker from my main PC and got a no RAM beep code
Plugged the SSD back in, POST success, boot success
Shutdown, connect one HDD (Seagate), POST success, boot success. Trawl logs, system collapses and pixellates the screen. Reboot, dead, no POST, fans spinning.
Reset CMOS, unplug everything, plug all back in (bare minimum) no POST. Tried this three times, removing CMOS batt each time, and discharging board to no avail.
I have built systems before, but am no means an expert. The last time I had a no POST issue it was an unseated AMD CPU and was fixed relatively quickly in comparison.
Appreciate any ideas or troubleshooting points I may have missed before I declare the mobo or another component the culprit!
Thanks!
