if its not gettin the ram missing error doesnt this mean there is ram detected mr setsul? >_>

theres a cmos button on my io shield that apparently has the same effect as doing the whole jumper thing. i unplug the power cable, make sure everythings off, hold the button down 10 secs then try again

wat im trying to say is if having the cpu plugged in is producing a result, it means the cpu is being detected and the same with ram.

ok let me explain my logic like this

no cpu plug =errr 00 which would be the code if i didnt install the cpu correctly, right? but if i did install it correctly, i would not get 00 code. with it plugged in, i dont get 00 so that means the cpu is being detected

same with ram. if my ram sticks were in physically and i got the 53 code, it would mean my ram is fucked because its physically in but not being picked up. in this case, having them physically in is making the first code, A2, so that means that theres a difference between having them in or not, meaning that the motherboard is picking up the RAM

but then again this is my first build and the only logic im going by is common sense and ur obviously Setsul, the computer guy

anyone get what i mean or is that just not how computer components work
PLZ help me T_T

where can i get one of those beep code things i think that would help me out a lot

monitor in not working means its the RAM? (still not tried)

if its not am i facked?

also on the reboot aftwe pressing cmos, it will restart in the boot then boot back is that normal after pressing cmos button

edit: no sticks = error code 53 and power button not working, which means ram was also ok i guess

one stick: back to square one

i havent tried furthest slot but any ram in a module produces A2 error and with no ram is 53, so that means the RAM is not the issue and previous test of unplugging the CPU plug means cpu is not, so i guess its this battery thing thag says kts on it (bios?)?

using hdmi doesnt change results

yeah i think. theres only hdmi and display port options i usually dont use either im gonna try hdmi in another computer and see. usually i use dvi

no i didnt think for HDDs i was just checking if it picked up the cpu or not and it did so therefore cpu was installed correctly

cpu intel i5 8600k
motherboard z370 taichi
no gpu atm

no usb in

error code with the hard drive, which btw is a hard drive ssd hybrid thing, is A2 and without is A2 meaning that its not being picked up which could mean no power is going to the hard drive (i cant tell if its spinning or not)

or its the RAM which i will be checking tonight. doesnt make sense why no display cause of no drives but the RAM makes more sense.

i dont have the beep thing too btw

unplugged the atv12 cable (top left) which i assume is da one that gives the processor power in order to check if the cpu was installed or not.

no atxv12 = 00
with = A2

so that means the cpu is being picked up no?

removing sata did nothing then i tried cmos button then no sata and still nothing

i plugged in my mouse and the mouse button lights up and the code changes to b4 which is usb so i guess the backs work its gotta be ram

when changing the RAM should i put on backplate and then lay it sideways or can i do it while its standing up

all the screws are in with standoffs that were pre done by my case (corsair 750d) and screwed in. but on my motherboard there was 1 extra ill draw where when i get home

the motherboard is fixed, secure, doesnt fall down and seems lifted from the case theres also a standoff in the middle, but you dont screw on this one, thats like a 'special one'. if we include that one then i got 9 standoffs out of 10 on it

also, like i said the cpu is being detected so i really dont think i did short circuit it i just asked to confirm if it was still a possibility cause thats like the worst thing u kno

is it possible i short circuit the board cause i only installed 8 standoffs when there are 9 holes :s

yeah that was what i was gonna check. i actually think i installed it wrong i looked on motherboard manual and the slots i picked said 'populated' twice in a table so i picked them, but maybe those were the ones i was meant not to ty Midnight Mick

Hello lads I have made a new computer but I am having an issue

tried first boot yesterday and the fans are working and the lights are on, but on the dr debug thing it says 'A2' after lots of random codes it stabilizes at A2 and the monitor doesnt seem to be getting a signal

i unplugged my cpu from the psu to see if it was that but that gives me a different code '00' and then plug it back in and its 'A2'. so i guess im alright with that bit

in the manual, it says A-A7 means it cant detect a hard drive, but is all connected and i dont see why lack of drive means no display. pls help me my fellow gamers (-_-)7

i havent tried anything but replugging cpu and plugging back the hard drive. not at home atm so i just made this to see wat kind of things u think i should try

those ppl are still gonna play like that with elo or without elo. only thing lack of elo changes is less silent removes but those top ppl will still do that cause they got an ego

telephones got all this clout nao he thinks he can boss the other shit posters around.... smh

thank u guys for ur hlep...

i think its like 130 for the motherboard i was gonna get with the i5 i havent looked at the one i need for the i7 it doesnt really matter that much. i still don't know which one to pick though. as far as tf2 goes its just the same frames but i wanna do video stuff too and i know the i5 will have technology the i7 doesnt and ppl were really hyping up this coffee shit idk

Hewwu.

intel i5 8600k or i7 7700k both are the same price
