Dual Channel RAM Question

Siimplez · 25 Dec 2013 at 14:29

Ok so today i built my friend his first Custom Built PC and we had it all plugged up together and what not i turned it on and it turned on fine and lit up blue (as the fans have blue leds) so everything was fine but when i plugged it into a Monitor (well a 32" tv) it didnt seem to display anything now im just wondering is it because im using 3 Sticks of ram on a dual channel motherboard? Please help..

Specs:
AsRock B75 Pro3-M
Intel i3 2110
Corsair 500w PSU
Sapphire Radeon HD 7770
1TB WDD HDD
AeroCool xStike Case
Kingston Hyper X 6G 1600Mhz DDR3 Module

Dual channel will have nothing to do with it.

check everything is connected and wired up correctly first.

The only other two problems i could think of would be the ATX 24 Pin connector isnt fully clipped in as for some reason no matter how hard you push it, it just wont clip into place and the other problem may be that i connected the tiny switches from the top of the case to the motherboard the wrong way, im not exactly sure but i hate seeing him depressed as a friend i care if you know what i mean.

check manual for those tiny switches, to make sure they're in the right places.

try running off iGPU, not HD7770.

how do i turn off iGPU?

not turning it off, but running off iGPU.

unplug and remove HD7770 from system. plug monitor cable into motherboard.

You need to remove the card and plug the HDMI into the Mobo HDMI. This will test whether it's a problem with the GPU.
