PC build issues

Hey im hoping someone can help as im going mental.

Cpu - A10 7700K FM2+
Mobo - gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-DS2
Ram - vulcan 8gb ddr3 2400mhz

Then the standard hdd, dvd drive etc.

This is a on board graphics build hense the apu cpu. So my issues are i have no display on the any of the ports on the board. No d-sub or dvi. Ive tried different ram and resat that cpu. Also cleared the cmos. Nothing seems to work and its bugging me.

Please i hope someone has the answer lol

Since the graphics is on the CPU, it would require the 12vEPS to be connected. Have you connected the 8 pin 12v rail to the motherboard as well as the 24pin ATX?

Thanks for the reply

Yes i have connected the 24 pin atx cable and the 8 pin rail. This is why im scratching my head lol everything looks correct and the psu is 450w so plenty of power also and power looks to be going where it should on the motherboard.

Bent any pins on the CPU?

jamieakabubble · 9 Mar 2014 at 17:39

Nope ive checked. That was my first concern but the pins are fine.

Though what ive just noticed is none of the usb devices are powered on when the pc is. Dead mobo?

So looking at the website i didnt see this either - need to flash the bios to support FM2 cpu's. So now i cant flash the bios as i cant boot into dos or anything.

BIOS update required. I'd get a cheap second hand FM2 and update

Yea i think this maybe the issue. I dont know if a gfx card been dropped in will work or changing the cpu. Im borrowing a card off someone tomorow only a cheap thing to see if that works. If not a cheap cpu will hav to be purchased and i hope refunded maybe afterwards!

So i got a gfx card and do you think it would post and put on a display!? Nope nothing. So now im going to have a to get a cheap fm2 cpu to see if thats the issue. Otherwise could be a dead mobo!!!

did this today without even reading what you wrote and it worked, thanks a lot anyway

jamieakabubble · 10 Mar 2014 at 20:06

Did you just get a crappy fm2 cpu and it just worked?

jamieakabubble · 13 Mar 2014 at 10:10

So i ordered a A4 4000 FM2 cpu from ocuk and it worked straight away. Got bios updated and the A10 7700K worked afterwards. So it is all sorted now. Refund on A4 chip and life can carry on.

Thanks to everyone for help and support in getting this fixed! Cheers.
