graphic card-msi r9 270x
ram-Vulcan 2x4gb
psu-seasonic 750w

the board and all the fans are powering up but no signal what so ever any help.

Try a trusty CMOS reset, sometimes this helps on a new build.

If you do use the onboard GPU then remove the external card.

Re-check all power connections.

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 20:55

RJC ive just tryed the cmos and still nothing m8.

RJC · 4 Mar 2014 at 20:58

Noooo......

Back to basics - try with one memory module installed, remove the external GPU and only use onboard.

I assume you have the 4 / 8 pin for cpu power installed and the main 24 pin ATX connector.

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 21:06

yeah got the 8pin and the 24 pin installed.

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 21:16

ive tryed 1 stick of ram m8.

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 21:32

should I be I be getting heat from the cpu aswell m8.

RJC · 4 Mar 2014 at 21:41

Not at the moment - very little load.

Just wrapping my brains to think of anything else to try!

Does the monitor work your plugging into (Not the first time I've herd this

)

Next thing to try, but its a pain is to remove the cpu and check the socket for bent pins.

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 21:49

ive been trying to look m8 but haven't got a magnifier just been looking on the web my self and a few people have had issues with the pins.
I haven't tryed the dvi yet cause haven't got a lead could that be the issue?

RJC · 4 Mar 2014 at 21:57

I dont suppose the motherboard has a speaker attached - see if you can hear any post beeps.

Wondering if your using a TV as a monitor sometimes they don't support the BIOS res and also on the same note you might have a issue with the monitor - just ruling out a possible motherboard fault.

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 22:02

ive tryed it in 2 different monitors and I have a very old pc and that works on the monitor.i will try she speakers now.

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 22:11

cant here any beeps m8.

tbyeah · 4 Mar 2014 at 22:29

Just to be sure you've tried with each stick of RAM not just the one?

Also another obvious one but have you got CPU fan plugged into the header?

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 22:35

yeah tried all the ram slots with both of the ram sticks and the cpu fan is plugged in.
im gona have to get a magnifier I think and look at the pins on the board.

tbyeah · 4 Mar 2014 at 22:39

Got the monitors on the right inputs? Well plugged in?

Clutching at straws but...

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 23:04

yeah m8.

walkonlfc1 · 4 Mar 2014 at 23:30

just been reading a post now and some guy tried the dvi port and it worked once he booted. the vga and hdmi all started working.

paulstung · 5 Mar 2014 at 11:11

If you haven't got a magnifier use the zoom function on your phones camera. walkonlfc1, might be on to something with trying dvi, my old Z77 Asus board had to be started with dvi, to get it past the first post / boot.

walkonlfc1 · 5 Mar 2014 at 22:08

no joy at all with anything I ive tried the magnifier tried the dvi and still no screen at all.so don't know what to do now.think I will send the motherboard back to see if faulty.

walkonlfc1 · 5 Mar 2014 at 22:15

or could it be the cpu is faulty? I don't have another board to test this and the computer shops round here just don't do the new stuff any help on this.
