Hi all,

Putting a new PC together for my son:

Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming
Ryzen 1600
Teamgroup Vulcan 3000mhz

Problem we are having is that power goes to the board and everything spins up but no signal to monitor. I've read about a similar issue (different ram) and it was down to memory which when swapped solved the problem. The above ram is not on the supported list for the motherboard. Could it be the ram? Cheers!
 
Yes - you need at least one stick of memory installed.

What's attached to the MoBo?

Ideally just the:
  • CPU
  • 1 stick
  • gfx
  • keyboard
Also double check that you have the 24 pin, 8 pin and CPU fan header connected.

Just those and all connected fine aye. I'm just about to reset the BIOS and see what happens. He's leaving tomorrow so I guess if no luck I'll order some supported RAM for a morning delivery and see if it helps.
 
No joy. Reading a lot of issues with this board on the Gigabyte forums. Wish I'd have researched a bit more before (although I am sure there are many with no issues)!
 
Everything is out of the case and set up. I'm leaving the CMOS battery out for a bit but other than that I may have to order either a new board or RAM for tomorrow. Maybe the gaming 3 if my current RAM is ok with it.
 
The motherboard gets power (lights up) and the CPU and graphics card fans spin up. Just nothing to the monitor.

Using a new 1060 as a GPU. The only things I haven't tried is another GPU (will try mine) or PSU (PSU is a new Super Flower).

I've reseated the CPU and connections a number of times.
 
Aye tried switching monitor inputs also HDMI, DP and DVI-D on a couple of monitors. Just arranging an RMA as pretty stuck now. OCUK tech mentioned the MB may have the F2 bios instead of the F4 for the 1600?
 
Thanks for all the help guys. OC are going to flash for me if that's the issue when they get it back. Looking on the Giga website, seems F4 or above for the 1600. I'm wondering if it is worth going for the Gaming 3 anyway seeing as it is going back.
