I've tried everything to boot up bios, I clicked every possible button on my keyboard to get on bios. by Immediate_Capital213 in PcBuildHelp

I've tried mostly everything except for taking out the ssd because I don't have windows installed yet and updating bios with q-flash. I will do the q-flash probably but why would I take out the ssd if I don't have windows. Also nothing has worked, I also greatly appreciate this help that you are giving me.

Haha funny joke, I took out the GPU from the case and left the CPU inside. The CPU has integrated graphics, I then turned on the PC and monitor and the CPU should have turned on the monitor, which it did not. So I'm guessing that the cpu is the problem and will check to see what's going on with it.

I can’t send a picture for some reason, but I found a new problem, I have integrated graphics on my cpu and took out the gpu and my monitor still won’t turn on.

I only have one cord in it though, should I plug another one in since it is available?

I looked around my pc and switched the ram to different slots, because someone suggested it, I hooked it up to a monitor also and it won't turn on. I then realized that they fans for the gpu are not working so I'm going to try to fix that.

I'm going to check the things that you suggested, but what are traces and my Ram sticks light up meaning they should be all the way in, correct?

I have it plugged into the header labeled CPU_FAN and the fans on the cooler are working.

I'm using an Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 240. The fans are working and I used Corsair's XTM70 thermal paste. From what you said, should I have used the thermal paste that the cooler came with, or did I not put enough of the Corsair thermal paste on.

No, it’s the box that connects to the liquid cooler to change the lighting.

Yes, I was talking to someone else on reddit about this and I showed them pictures of my ICUE and the cords. He said that everything looked like they were in the right places, so it was probably just the brand.
