:cry:
I thought, this weekend I can finally start using the new pc by installing windows and copying over some stuff. Wouldn't be typical though if it went right the first time. As a refresh, the setup:
Corsair RM650
Intel i7 5820K (3.3Ghz 2011-3 )
Cooler Master Hyper 412S
MSI X99S SLI Plus
Corsair Vengeance LPX (16 gb DDR4 2133)
MSI GTX970 4G Gaming (4gb)
1x Samsung 850 Pro (256 gb)
2x WD Blue 1TB
BenQ GL2460 24"
Windows 8.1 x64 (to be installed)
Cooler Master Trooper
Microsoft keyboard 600
Logitech M560
Logitech Z-553
The main issue I have is that the monitor is not getting any signal. I'm connecting it to the GPU by DVI cable, in fact the very one I use on my current pc. So the cable is not faulty. Plus, it detects it's in; if the cable is not in, it says cable not detected. I've already pressed the buttons on the monitor to set it to DVI, eliminating the possibility that the monitor thinks it has to operate through a port that's not used.
As for inside the pc, what would be relevant is the GPU and mobo I think. The mobo works, or at least, it has a blue CMOS light at the back (guess it's on because it detects abnormal shut down...: me via the power button) and an illuminating power and reset button on the board itself. When I press the power button, all fans spin, including those of the GPU. The MSI illumination also works on the GPU. It is fully connected to the PSU (8 + 6 connectors) in the right socket (PCI-E block).
What doesn't work:
- monitor: no signal detected
Any oddities I question:
- why do the two GPU fans start spinning after having been deactivated for a few seconds? Aren't the fans of 970's supposed to stay off until 60°C is reached? The PC's not even being used since it doesn't have windows installed and I can't see chips. Why do they go back on then????
- why does my mobo not beep through the little speaker I had to connect to it? Manual btw doesn't state anything about beeping during or following the POST.
