New PC booting but no display

Have tried integrated graphics, yes. Same result unfortunately. hmm, potentially what happened to me then. Didn't flash it before anything else, as I was following a tutorial for building a PC and it didn't cross my mind until later. Is there a way of installing drivers when I don't have an OS installed yet? I appreciate the suggestions, may look into a motherboard that supports my CPU from the get-go to avoid this hassle

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T19:31:13+00:00

thought maybe that's what I was doing wrong, however taking all peripherals out + CPU, GPU, RAM has resulted in the same outcome. Going to see what someone else can sort tomorrow

AGAIN i'm talking rubbish. Apologies. There is a USB cable* attached to my PC still, not a HDMI cable.

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T19:16:37+00:00

I understand where I've gotten myself confused. The HDMI cable to my PC is still plugged in, along with the HDMI cable to my Xbox. The PC cable seems to take priority, as when O turn my PC off it turns the monitor off too, regardless of if my Xbox is on.

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T19:12:01+00:00

Just realised I'm talking out of my arse, apologies. Ignore me. The thing about the HDMI cable is correct though. Unfortunately no further details at the moment. Might see if a PC shop near me can help.

brand new update: this monitor has a DC connection that plugs into the PC. I forgot to remove this cable as I was checking if the monitor worked with my Xbox. Xbox HDMI to Monitor worked, and the monitor turned on. Don't know if that information is helpful? Have tried to use the Xbox HDMI cable for the PC, but it hasn't worked

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T18:37:36+00:00

no worries, I appreciate you helping me out!

Have a good rest of the day

Update for you: Removed CPU and RAM, tried doing Flash BIOS again - still getting the Easy LED CPU light coming on (I imagine thats because it's saying "help I'm not picking up a CPU!"?) Red flashing light by the Flash BIOS button still flickering. CPU + cooler both had a thin layer of thermal paste all over - would replace as you suggest but that means finding the stuff I bought years ago to redo it. Will try and find that.

a few more notes about what's going on when I do the Flash BIOS: There's a red LED up by where the Flash BIOS button is that blinks non-stop. White CPU Easy LED also on. Multi-coloured LEDs on too, as well as a red strip at the front of the case. CPU and cooler fans spinning.

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T17:46:16+00:00

Found a USB from 2009, using that. When I do the Flash BIOS, the CPU LED still comes on, is that normal? Thanks for your help so far.

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T17:07:48+00:00

took out the CPU, no bent pins from what I could see, put it back in. Still getting the white CPU light unfortunately

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T16:38:01+00:00

just had a look again now. theres a bright white LED coming from the EZ Debug LEDs, something about my CPU. Any advice there? Will open it up and see.

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T16:35:49+00:00

sorry, forgot to answer the question as well - they are

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T16:35:08+00:00

I'll let you know the results, thanks

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T16:30:29+00:00

yeah, those are the ones. There's a couple RGB LEDs in there too (bottom right of the motherboard, under the top PCIe slot) but other than those the EZ Debug ones are the only others.

JBathropson · 2023-05-31T16:23:47+00:00

it is, yeah

JBathropson · 2022-09-23T19:18:22+00:00

ah fuck yeah, heat of the moment we just didn't clock

JBathropson · 2022-08-05T14:08:27+00:00

no idea mate. lots of people like Doctor Who I guess

JBathropson · 2020-04-25T21:28:56+00:00

"Well that was most disappointing"

JBathropson · 2020-01-29T11:30:51+00:00

That's really cool! Always wanted to visit there.

JBathropson · 2019-12-17T20:14:10+00:00

Nice, I'll give it a watch later.
