First build, can't seem to get into the bios

MrHitsugaya · 28 Jan 2011 at 20:22

So my brother and myself have been building my computer, I bought the parts on tuesday and they showed up today.

We've got everything in and it spins up but nothing comes up on the screen.
Could this be a graphics card problem? Another thing is the USB output's aren't working for my wireless keyboard. :confused:

Any information will help, thank you

What are the full specs of the system?

Double check the memory are in the correct slots and that the 8 pin for CPU power is installed.

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processo
Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 graphics card
BeQuiet Pure Power L7 530W Power Supply
GeIL 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz VALUE PLUS Dual Channel (two lots)
Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
Coolermaster CM-690 II Nvidia Edition Advanced Dominator Case

The memory and pins all seem to be fine but I might just be tired & going a bit crazy..

Tried a CMOS reset as this sometimes helps.

Also is the 2 x 6 pin in the gpu connected.

I'm doing the reset now (Taking out the battery works right?) I'll check the wires now

I don't know why I said wireless here, it's a wired USB keyboard..

Well the reset didn't work and all the wires seem to be in check.. I'm going to leave it and tackle it in the morning... Thanks for the help though guys

Try another keyboard, or even a PS/2 keyboard?

MrHitsugaya · 29 Jan 2011 at 10:39

Looks like it was the graphics card, we took it out and put the one from my brothers computer in and it started up straight away..

the graphics card isn't new but it has been sent back to OC in the past and they said there was nothing wrong with it...

RJC · 29 Jan 2011 at 11:01

Does the card work in your brothers PC.

MrHitsugaya · 29 Jan 2011 at 11:46

Nope, same problem...
