Hello so im a first time building but have some experience with a second hand build case I had. I just upgraded everything to the following with thenexception of the PSU.
GPU Evga gtx 970 SS
Mobo Asus Z170 a
Cpu Intel i5-7600
Ram. 1×8gb Ballistick Ddr4-2400
Psu antect 1000w
Cooler Coolrig H7
I get power to USB ports and computer turns on fine. But when I plug in peripherals they do not work (mouse, keyboard and monitor). I took the machine to be tested and will do again tomorrow. The test today confirmed that my ram stick was okay. That my psu wad okay. What I could not check was the cpu and i am assuming the mobo is defective. We put a working 6th gen processor (i7-6700k) in and no luck. My guess is that the mobo cant read the cpu because the mobo is 6th gen and the CPU is 7th. I also get a constant Dram LED. Dont know if it beeps because I have no speakers. We tried all different slots, i got a second card and no luck.
What bothers me most is that we inserted a 6th gen CPU and still got nothing from the mobo.
Any way to update bios without a screen?
