Not even a beep

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

   I just installed a B365M-ITX/ac motherboard into a new case, with a new CPU (Intel Pentium Gold G5400), memory, power supply, etc. Unfortunately, upon turning it on, nothing happens, other than the chassis and CPU fans start to spin. I've connected a monitor to the HDMI port, and the G5400 does come with integrated graphics. The monitor is reporting "no signal." I also connected one of those really small motherboard speakers, but I am not hearing any beeps.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to diagnose this, I would greatly appreciate any assistants.

	Okay, I got it to go into the BIOS. I had installed my only memory stick into the A1 slot. Once I moved it to the B1 slot the system may it past POST. Does anyone know if that is expected? I'd like to know if the A1 slot is bad, or, that I needed to use the B1 slot first.
