Pc not displaying picture

[Ivan_Jankovic]

I recently built a PC, however it is not displaying any picture in addition it keeps turning on and off. I am using a Radeon 6650xt for my video card, a gigabyte H610M for motherboard, an Intel i3 12100f as my CPU, and an AGV Bronze power supply. I have checked that everything was seated properly and even tried other video cards but nothing works. Please help!

AGV Bronze power supply

need more details 200W 500W etc.
Did you put thermal paste on the cpu?
In you list you do not have ram.
What make, speed etc is the ram
E.G Corsair DD4 3200MHZ

The power supply is 500w and I did put thermal paste. I forgot to mention the ram I have is 16 gb DDR4 3200MHZ.

Sorry for the delay.
Can you power off & remove 1 stick of ram and test.
Your power supply has no wiggle room. The GPU alone has a 500W requirement.

I am using a Radeon 6650xt

Is the card the AMD brand or a third party such as Gigabyte or MSI etc.

What other cards have been tried.

Do you get any on screen message such as No Signal.

Did you assemble the parts outside of the case first.

Are all parts out of the box new.

Do you have a keyboard hooked up.

and an AGV Bronze power supply.

The power supply is 500w

You 100% need a better PSU, the present unit can only actually produce 432W and is rated as – Tier F • Replace immediately

The card is amd brand, I tried a rtx 1050 which also did not work. I assembled everything outside the case everything is new. I have tried it with and without a keyboard.

I tried with one stick of ram, same result.

As previously mentioned you 100% need a better PSU, even the AMD version of the card requires a minimum of a 500W PSU, not just any brand either, if the hardware is new you need a minimum of a Gold efficiency rated PSU from one of the following, Corsair RM range, EVGA, Seasonic or Super Flower.

AMD GPU specs here

I assembled everything outside the case

Does this mean that because the parts do not work you have not had them inside of the case or does it mean that they did work outside of the case but they don’t work when assembled inside of the case.

Sorry that was a typo I meant to say everything was built inside the case not outside. Also are you sure the GPU alone needs 500W because that doesn’t sound right.

[phillpower2]

Can I ask that you do not quote every reply as we have to read the full post to make sure nothing gets missed, thanks.

Not the GPU alone and not me that says what is required and for their own brand of RX 6650 XT AMD say that the minimum PSU recommendation is 500W, if you disagree you should take it up with AMD but fwiw the reason why I asked for the brand of GPU is because some third party brands of the RX 6650 XT actually require a minimum of a 650W PSU from a good quality brand.

The above asides, there is no getting away from the fact that the present PSU is not only too weak but also of poor quality, again this is not me saying this it is those who tested it.

For future reference, the golden rule of system building is to always pre assemble outside of the case on a large piece of cardboard before you put the parts together inside, there is less chance of a system short that way.

[Ivan_Jankovic]

Since the minimum PSU requirement is 500W shouldn’t the computer still work? Also I tried a rtx 1050 and the PC still did not work and I would assume the 1050 does not need 500W to run.

Also should I take apart the computer and reassemble it the way you said, or does it not matter anymore?

[phillpower2]

Already advised you on this in my reply #5, the PSU cannot produce 500W, see attachment below from the PSUs home page.

Taking the hardware out of the case and getting a better PSU are a must but keep in mind that we have no idea as to whether the replacement card even works or if any damage has been done to any of the new parts while you were assembling them. turning on and off is a typical shorting out symptom.

No such a card as an rtx1050 but there is a GTX 1050, if you know 100% that the 1050 works use that with the junk PSU, a GTX 1050 only needs a 300W PSU.

[Ivan_Jankovic]

The GTX 1050 works in a different computer but not this one.

[PeterOz]

typical shorting out symptom

Agree
or a serious heat problem

[Ivan_Jankovic]

So should I get a new motherboard?
