I've built many computers, and this is the first time I've ever had a new build that wouldn't boot/post.
I press the power button, and only the fans turn on... no beeps, no nothing!
I've tried everything possible i.e. Reseating memory, CPU, & video card- removing the Geforce. Hours and hours of trying these things.
I'm thinking possible the RAM? It's DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000); Although I looked it up before purchasing, it says it's "not natively supported, but is supported for overclocking"??
Unfortunately, I have no spare parts to try something different.
I'd appreciate any insight or suggestions.
Here's my build:
AMD A8-5600K Trinity 3.6GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU)
MSI A88XM-E45 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000)
GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD GeForce GTX 660 2GB
EVGA 100-W1-500-KR 500W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC
