Not Booting, No Video

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

   My build is:
ASRock AB350 Pro4
AMD A8-9600
Samsung DDR4 8GB 2133 M378A1K43BB1-CPB
ThermalTake 500w PSU
Connected through HDMI.

The system turns on and all the fans spin up but I never get any beeps or video.  I have tried the RAM in all the slots.  I started with slot A2.  I have removed and reseeded everything.  I have checked the video cable with another computer.  It has been a while since I have built a system.  Is there anything else I can check before I start returning parts to see what might be bad?

Thanks for all your help!!!!!

	andy75, I don't think that board has a speaker. Have you added a speaker? If not, please do. Have you performed a Clear CMOS? Enjoy, John.

	I did not think of the board not having a speaker. I can try to plug one into the back port when I get home. Does the board support sounds over HDMI? If so the HDMI monitor I have has sound built in. Yes I did a CMOS clear. I power down then set the jumper then powered back up for about 30 seconds. Powered down, cleared the jumper, powered up with no change.

	andy75, sounds like you did the Clear CMOS fine. Please check your manual for the header that supports a small speaker. This is the speaker I am talking about - just a beeper, really. You will need to purchase one at your local computer store - like this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6RP3755293&cm_re=mb_speaker-_-9SIA6RP3755293-_-Product dirt cheap. Enjoy, John.

	I just noticed the Samsung RAM I have is not in the supported list on the motherboard page. 4gb package is but not the 8gb package. I would not think that would be a big deal but maybe. Your thoughts?

	andy75, if you are saying that your memory is two sticks of a qualified single stick, I would agree with you. When we hear what the beep code says, hopefully we can develop a plan. It could still be a memory problem. Enjoy, John.

	Got a speaker plugged it up to the board and I get no sounds at all. The only thing that I hear is the fans getting a little faster then a little slower.

	One check worth doing.........and from the sound of the fan behaviour, definitely worth doing, the CPU power connector, probably an 8 pin.....These are often quite tight fitting, and it may seem pressed all the way in when there is still 1mm or so to go. This is really worth a try, prss hard try to see if the latch has "actioned" I had same problem, and this was the issue.

	I pushed it in very firmly. It is clicked down. What else can I try?

	Try removing the power plug, holding down the power button for 30s and then plugging back in and powering it on. Works for me (sometimes)
