Hi guys so i’ve build my pc and i have a INTEL I5-10400F (10th gen) 6 core and a Gigabyte B560M DS3H V2 motherboard and i’m having roubles getting a video display on my monitor, i’ve tried everything including replacing the RAM, taking the GPU out and taking the Drives out and limiting it and still nothing, i can’t get anything and it’s really annoying, please will somebody help. thanks
 
Do you guys have a motherboard speaker attached? That might shed some light as to what is causing the issue.
so i found a old speaker from one of my old pcs and connected it up and it worked and i got 5 beeps but the 5 beeps doesn’t relate to anything on the beep error manual, so what do i do now?
 
  • 5 short beep : CPU error.

  • Check if the CPU is powered by 8 pins. connector must be fully engaged.
    Check if the CPU is installed correctly. The keys must match.
    Check the integrity of the pins on the socket.
    If all of the above is ok.
    Disconnect everything from the motherboard

    What GPU do you use to display the image?
could you try and explain that again please, i didn’t quite get what you meant, and i’m using a Nvidia GTX 1660 super GPU but i get no display anyway because of the beeps error. thanks

5 beeps means CPU error.
That is, the motherboard does not work with it.

Is the CPU power connected?
Is the CPU correctly installed in the socket?
Are there any defects in the socket (bent pins)?
the motherboard definitely definitely supports my CPU, and i’ll have to check tomorrow afternoon about the CPU power and will have to take my water block off and check the CPU is fitted correctly, and do you mean bent pins on the BOARD where the CPU plugs in to or pins on the CPU? thanks
 
Yes exactly.
You need to check the status of the socket on the motherboard.

But before that. Check if CPU power is connected? As in the picture below.

cpu power???? is that the really big one what goes into the motherboard???

how do i see if any pins are bent then, and what ones am i looking at as i have my cpu off now
 
your motherboard also has this connector

You need to connect the power supply from the PSU.
Without this, your CPU will not be detected by the motherboard.
i’ve just done it all and took my cpu out and cleaned it all and re applied thermal paste, and connected all the wires up again, and i’m still getting 5 beeps, so what do i do now? thanks
 
If you connected everything correctly.
The problem may be in the GPU. reddit had a similar problem. This usually happens with older GPUs.
Perhaps your GTX 1660 super is defective or not working properly?

What power supply do you have? Is the PSU powerful enough?
to be honest i think my GPU is absolutely fine, and i have this PSU

 
try resetting the BIOS by Clear CMOS jumper.
You can try updating the firmware. Your Motherboard supports updating via Q-Flash.

If you have a different GPU, you can try installing it.
i’ve already tried to clear CMOS jumper by holding screwdriver on the 2 pins for 10-15 seconds and it still didn’t work and got 5 beeps and replaced the CMOS battery and all but i haven’t tried Q-Flash, what’s that? thanks
 
Q-Flash updates BIOS firmware.
Sometimes updating the BIOS helps.
ok and is it true i have to go on to the gigabyte website and download the new firmware on to a flash drive and then strip the board down and just have the board and nothing else on the board and the 24 pin power from PSU? thanks
 
I never understood.
Just don't turn on the PC. Just like clear CMOS.

The main thing is to download the correct firmware. This is for your motherboard.
i’ve done it all and installed it all fine, and put my computer all back together and i’m still getting 5 beeps, what does this mean? thanks
 
Read that a faulty monitor cable caused 5 beeps even though its suppose ro relate to the cpu error.


After that it's time to send things back.
It's not my monitor cable, so i reckon theres something wrong with the MB so i'll have to call up Overclockers and see if i can get a new one with warranty or i'll try and test my CPU with my old MB and see if it runs on that and then i know it's not my CPU and must be my MB
