New H110M-DGS seems dead?

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

   I've just built up a H110M-DGS based system.
When I push the power button on the front of the chassis, power light lights up and the case and cpu fans start running.

No other indications of life from the MB.

Parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/dCZJxY

I went with silent PSU and CPU cooler fans that don't run until needed, so there not running doesn't necessarily mean anything.

- case and CPU an spin
- No LEDs on the MB (that I see).
- No video
- No beep codes.

	Do you have a cable from the PSU connected to the 4/8 pin ATX 12V CPU power connector on the board? The board/CPU won't start without it connected. Did you connect a beep speaker to the board? One is not built in. Your memory may not be compatible, despite what PC Parts Picker tells you. Normally DDR4 memory should default to 2133 or 1866, your memory is 2400. That model is not listed in your board's Memory Support list. 16GB modules are more difficult for the IMC to deal with. Try using one DIMM instead of two and see if the board starts. If you connect a network cable from an active router to the board's network jack, the LEDs next to the jack should light up, as long as the PSU is turned on.

	Many thanks, I had failed to connect the ATX 12V CPU power cable. Windows 8.1 is installing now, so hopefully the RAM will be fine even though it is capable of running at higher clock speeds than the MB.
