Right lads, maybe someone here will be able to help out because god, I need some help. Here’s my build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cptddD After cleaning it out a few months ago, it broke. The fans and LEDs would instantly turn on once the PSU received power without me pressing the power button. Ended up RMAing the motherboard basically on a guess, my troubleshooting came down to it being motherboard or RAM. I never found out if the motherboard was broken or not. Due to COVID ASRock took over 28 days to resolve the issue, so instead CCL Computers, who I bought the board off originally, just replaced the board for me free of charge Got my new motherboard, rigged it all up with just the basic components, and it turned on. I’m an utter idiot however and instead of testing it there whilst it was working, I turned it off and rigged it back into my case. And then it stopped working. This time, the fans don’t all instantly turn on when the PSU’s switch it turned on, however my case’s power button doesn’t work, and I don’t get any display. Gone back to just having the board rigged up with the base components and now when I turn it on, the cpu cooler fan spins up to 100%, the PSU fan shuts off after a few seconds (as it should, it’s got a 0 rpm mode), and I get no display. I’ve tried troubleshooting it and I’m stumped. Any advice or assistance would be appreciated.
Hi @raptorrepairs , You haven’t elaborated as to what troubleshooting steps you took so here are a few things in case you didn’t try them: Try clearing the BIOS back to default in case it was corrupted. (see p.27 in the motherboard user manual Connect a system -aka chassis speaker (example to show what it can look like) to the appropriate motherboard header pins (see p.29 Power LED and speaker header) to listen for any beep error codes on startup as it appears that the motherboard is not passing POST (Power On Self Test). Here is a link to the beep error codes for Asrock motherboards - scroll down and click on Results: to see what the codes mean. It seems very old information but maybe they haven’t changed Did you try starting with only 1 memory module inserted? If no good did you try the other one by itself? If you have a DMM (digital multimeter) use the paperclip test to check that the voltages from the PSU are all OK
