P8Z77-V no POST, BIOS or signals

Post by TBGAPowa »

brand new. everything is plugged in, leds on, fans spinning but no BIOS and POST start up. it didn't come with a speaker so i don't think i could hear any beeps. the monitor, keyboard and mouse aren't getting signals

i am not sure if it was my imagination but i do think i heard ticking sounds and smelled a bit of smoke while installing the cpu and hsf with the mobo placed on the cardboard box cover that came with it. or it may just be the smell of new computer hardware.

the mobo led was on so i don't understand

i can’t trust any technical service with expensive parts, maybe if it was oem i wouldn’t care as much.

pull everything off but the cpu heat sink 1 stick of memory, and plug the monitor to the onboard video. if no go pull the entire motherboard apart and see if you have any bent pins on the socket.

Is the BIOS upto date? Did the BIOS get corrupted. ASUS has a BIOS Flashback feature that you can use to flash the board. Pull everything but the psu, and use this technique. You will have to check the manual for the exact procedure and location of the flashback button on your board. Worth a shot

yeah i will give it a shot when i have the time, thank you for the advice.

MemOK! led lights up red, what does that mean? i cant see the cpu led because the hsf covers it, boot device led i believe was green and the flbk led wasn't on.

You have an issue with the memory, compatibility issue, turn off machine, press the mem ok button, hold for a couple of seconds then reboot machine.

UPDATE: solved- i tested the RAM one at a time both were ok, then tried both (properly reseating them this time, doh!) and the red DRAM led turned off the POST splashed on screen and the keyboard, mouse and monitor got their signals.

thank you XstollieX and DragonFury for being kind and helpful
