Z170 Fatal1ty gaming k4 not booting

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I finished building the pc and everything was fine. I booted up windows and installed, but I realized one of the RAM sticks I had wasn't being recognized. I shut everything off and and placed the RAM properly. As I booted up the PC everything seemed to be running fine, but the computer was not connecting to my monitor. I read online that I would need to take out the cmos battery and RAM to reset the bios. I did that and now neither stick of RAM lights up, the monitor still will not connect, and a red light is shining on the mother board next to bios. I did not do anything with the jumpers. Would that be an issue?

cpu : intel 15 6500

	Dear spartakiss, Greetings, this is ASRock TSD. According to your question, we provide some suggestions to verify: 1. Confirm the ATX 24-pin power cord and 8-pin v-core power cable are connected to M/B properly. 2. Please refer to the user manual(page.19) from the link below to clear CMOS to try(Please shut down the AC power). http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/Fatal1ty%20Z170%20Gaming%20K4.pdf 3. Please clean the Goldfinger parts of memory and re-connect to the motherboard, make sure it has been installed correctly. 4. Remove the CPU and check if the CPU socket pin-bent. 5. Only install the necessary devices (CPU and one stick memory ) to check if the system can boot properly. 6. Only install one stick memory module to each DRAM slot by turns to try. 7. If possible, please install another memory module / CPU to verify. 8. If possible, please connect another display cable / monitor to verify. Thanks! All the best, ASRock TSD
