Help assembling a computer
-
Hello colleagues, I decided to build a computer for a colleague who saw how well mine was working and asked if I could build him something affordable.
I have everything installed, but I can't get a signal to the monitor. I don't know what could be wrong. I've checked multiple times that the cables are properly connected and I've tried changing the RAM slots, booting with one, then with the other.
The parts in the PC are as follows:
52368 AMD A4-5300 3.40Ghz 5050
52800 Asrock FM2A55M-DGS 50
42016 G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 4GB 2x2GB CL9 27.95
45854 Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA3 55
45085 B-Move Chill MicroATX 500W 24.95
52967 LG GH24NS95 DVD Burner 24x BlackLet's see if I can fix it, otherwise I'll be in a bad situation with my colleague...

So, if the micro is well placed, even without memory it should start up.
When you say that the signal doesn't reach the monitor, do you mean that it starts up but the signal doesn't reach or does it not start up at all?
In the case that it starts up, even if you don't see the signal, does it give any kind of beep? The startup of the computer and its beeps | Hardware Tips
You'll let us know. If the computer starts up but doesn't give a signal, check the graphics cable and that it's plugged in properly. A computer without a hard drive and I think even without memory, starts up and lets you access the Bios, in other words, it would give a signal on the screen.

So far, if the micro is well placed, it should start even without memory.
When you say that the signal doesn't reach the monitor, does it mean that it starts but the signal doesn't reach or it doesn't start at all?
In the case of starting, even if you don't see the signal, does it give any kind of beep? The computer startup and its beeps | Hardware Tips
You'll keep us posted. If the computer starts but doesn't give a signal, check the graphics card cable and that it's properly plugged in. A computer without a hard drive and I think even without memory, starts and lets you access the Bios, that is, it would give a signal on the screen.
Hello, thanks for responding, the computer starts up, that is, the CPU cooler moves and doesn't stop if I don't hold the power button for 5 seconds.
It doesn't beep
I just tried it without memory and nothing comes up on the screen.
The micro I suppose is well placed, the arrow drawn with the arrow.The graphics card doesn't have a graphics card, it's integrated, which is another pain because I have to test the PC with the kid's monitor because mine doesn't work, it's too modern xd
One thing that I suppose won't have anything to do with it, the case only came with 4 screws that separate the plate from the case, so I could only put 4 of the 6 that I think the plate has
Regards and let's see if we can find the solution

I leave a picture to see if you see something poorly assembled or something missing.
Pd: I already know that you are going to tell me that it's a mess of cables, when I get it to work I will organize everything as much as possible

Have you tried both graphic outputs? The D-Sub and the DVI-D. From what you indicate, you have only been able to test it on one.
Just a thing, if you are assembling it at home, could you remove the graphics card from your computer and plug it in (the graphics card :troll:)? That way we would know if it is a graphic issue or not. The micro can only be put in one way so you can't have made a mistake, and I hope you adjusted the heatsink well and it makes good contact, and that the micro is fine and doesn't have any bent pins or anything like that. The micro could be bad, which I don't think is the case, and the fan would still work, remember that the fan has its own power outlet.
Tell me if you can do the thing with your graphics card and let's see. Because it's a very simple card and there's nothing else, check that the micro is properly placed (that it makes good contact and is well held by the heatsink) that the memories are placed in the required banks, you don't even have to look at the hard drive, because it would start up and get stuck in the Set up if it wasn't plugged in.
Sorry I can't help you more, check everything, look at putting your graphics card and see if anyone comes by the topic.
Anyway, the board itself doesn't have a GPU. It's the micro that has the GPU and outputs the image through the board's outputs, but if you could plug in a micro without a GPU, the board itself doesn't have one integrated.
Finally, check that the cable going to the power supply, the one that powers the micro, is properly plugged in, to see if it's plugged in wrong and that's why the fan is moving but not beeping, because the micro isn't receiving power. It's the cable that's plugged into the board next to the micro and has 4 contacts.
Best regards.

Hello, thanks for the response.
I could put in my graphics card, but I don't know if the power supply has the connector for my graphics card.. I think my graphics card is a 7850. If that's the case, I'll check it tomorrow, although I'd prefer to rule out other possibilities first, mostly because when something is working well, don't touch it much, they say, hehe.
I would like to try the video output, but I'll see how I can do it, the monitor I tested it on has the typical cable with the blue head. Then mine at home has a DVI port and HDMI, I don't think I have the option to test the other output.
The power cables have to be properly placed, yes, because I've taken them out 8 or 9 times and put them back, and the same with the RAM
I'll check the micro to see, when I put it in I pressed it and then lowered the latch, I didn't apply any force or anything, to see if it's not well seated, although I don't remember doing anything more than placing it when I assembled the i5

Look how difficult it is to put a micro in wrong, it's ridiculous...
It was because of the fear of breaking it by applying force or something that I put it wrong, when I removed the heatsink, the micro was stuck to the heatsink and came out all together :osvaisacagar:
It's already placed and it's already booting up.
Now it comes up on the screen reboot and select proper boot device...
I imagine that now it will just be a matter of putting in the win cd and moving forward, tomorrow I'll continue with it because I only have one keyboard and I have to disconnect mine -
I'm glad it's already started. I remember once starting up my computer without the micro :ugly: and that happened to me, but I just didn't have it plugged in. You have to put the thermal paste carefully, maybe the heatsink already has it from the factory, and especially when you don't change it for a long time, be careful when removing the heatsink. More than one has fried a micro by leaving the paste so dry that it stayed charged and when removing the heatsink, the micro started up and bent some pins. If you see that the computer doesn't even beep... well, you already know for next time ;D
The computer you've built for your colleague, don't expect him to play current games with that computer, but for office work it will be very good. I have an HTPC with an Atom and it works very well. Nowadays almost any micro is very decent for office work in general. Then for using certain programs, a Quad Core, a good graphics card or more RAM is appreciated.

thanks, I'll keep that in mind for next time, my colleague is very stupid, he wouldn't know how to start a game, that's facebook, tuenti and that to meet girls and little more jeje
