New pc issue

xxtomox · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:18

Hi All,

all my parts are connected to my new pc. When I flick the switch on back of my psu for power before I switch on the pc the motherboard flashes red then goes off. Is that normal?

might be the boards design? does it bootup and run alright after?

No pc fans all go around and then stop for a few seconds and then repeat

was the pc built by yourself or was it purchased as a complete unit?

I built it myself

has it ever booted?
try removing the gpu and using onboard graphics

if it doesnt boot after that try using just 1 stick of ram

xxtomox · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:41

There is no onboard graphics

xxtomox · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:42

Light on motherboard flashes red then goes off is FBIOS LED

jbh110tdi · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:43

do you have another gpu you can try?

also what psu are you using?

jbh110tdi · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:44

have you ever had the system running?

wazza300 · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:47

Any WiFi card attached? If so try without

Also try flashing the board to latest BIOS version,pretty sure you can do that with just a USB sick with the BIOS on it

System never run, built it on Friday. Using a superflower 1000kw platinum. I have a card in my current pc not sure if that will be compatible AMD Radeon 6800

xxtomox · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:48

Bios wont even load

wazza300 · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:49

Doesn't have to,I think the newer gigabyte boards let you flash just by inserting USB stick,should tell you in the manual

And yh try other GPU aswell

jbh110tdi · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:52

yes the 6800 will work. you could also test you're new card in you're old system.
might even be worth testing you're psu in you're other system.

have double checked all the plugs are in firmly?

Even got my friend to check all my connection

best way at times a fresh set of eyes can pick something up you might not.

the board could be DOA but you need to try every other option first.

when did you buy it?

wazza300 · 26 Oct 2015 at 17:59

Try other GPU first,

You might need latest BIOS for your current card
