New components no post

Just assembled my new components and yet again no post :/ GPU is running really loud. Could be the PSU is faulty? Every fans are running fine and the PSU fan is also running.

My components are new Mobo, Ram and CPU.

I haven't connected any HDD yet just trying to get something on the screen (bios screen).

The GPU fan is like running at full speed which never happened before.

Have you plugged the additional 4/8pin ATX in near the CPU socket?

Take the GPU out and try the onboard solution?

I have plugged it and yes just tried that now and still no post. :confused:

This is sad.

Try one RAM stick at a time in different slots.

Turn the power off and pull the battery out, go make some tea, refit and try again.

Still the same though.

No bent pins, ahh no beep at all when I didn't put a any RAM the speaker thingy is connected.

You need at least a single RAM, board, CPU+cooler to get to POST.

Still no post :'( this is frustrating, could a faulty PSU cause something like this?

Ah no, i only have my old pc but i don't think its a good idea to use it as its not branded :/

kram2803 · 17 Jan 2014 at 18:37

So is it okay to use it just to test if I need a new power supply? Sucks that maplin don't accept returns >.<

Cant be in a worse position than you in now.

Just use it enough to see if you get a POST screen.

God it post now I need a new power supply -.-, I wonder if it will be the same problem with my last mobo.

Well thats kind of good news then, so you at least know the board/cpu/ram are ok now.

Yeah, can you spec me a good PSU that is sufficient to run my components. Not a very expensive one but good quality, semi-modular or modular would be nice to keep the cables tidy.

Could get this power supply in my local store.

Corsair CX600M 600W ATX 80+ Bronze PC Power Supply

Edit: I probably will upgrade my GPU down the line so enough Watts to power new GPU too.

kram2803 · 17 Jan 2014 at 20:50

is 600W enough to power everything including 770 or 280x GPU in case I upgrade to one of these GPU?

kram2803 · 17 Jan 2014 at 21:10

Thanks, i don't plan to run dual GPU though.

kram2803 · 18 Jan 2014 at 10:27

So 600W CXM series is enough to power --

Core i5 4570
5870 GPU (to be upgraded)
2x4GB RAM
Gigabyte H87-DH3
2x HDD (SSD will be added as a boot drive)
