Problems with new build, just trying to boot to BIOS

yes I put thermal paste on it jesus

Seems like the internet can't figure this one out, I've made like 6 different posts

I bought RAM, some reviews say it works with my motherboard model, comes Friday: https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-1600MHz-PC3-12800-Desktop-Memory/dp/B00FAY0S08?th=1

If you have anything else I can try till then, lemme know.

I don't see any other options than to keep replacing stuff till it works at this point, after ALL this troubleshooting

I'm not trying to be cryptic, I've tried so many things, I'm posting in different places so I'm repeating myself and forgetting who I've told what

The sass is because I'm at my wits end with this thing, not really directed at you, I just feel like I've tried EVERYTHING and have to resort to ordering parts

the might of the internet has failed me this time

I do apprectiate your replies though, esp during the holidays

this was supposed to be an xmas present

Well as said previously, don't shoot the messenger, you are at least getting help here which doesn't seem to be the case anywhere else.

As for posting here there and everywhere, that is frowned upon on forums in case people get conflicting advice that causes mishaps but because of the holiday season it has been allowed to slide here.

Back to the task at hand;

Three things that are glaringly amiss here and not one of us helpers can do a thing about them.

( 1 ) We have no idea as to whether or not any of the parts that you have were defective when you got them.

( 2 ) We likewise do not know if the MB has BIOS version 0606 or version BIOS 1008 which is required for the MB to be able recognise the processor.

( 3 ) The HS and CPU needed to be properly cleaned off with industrial strength alcohol or rubbing compound and then a fresh amount of thermal compound correctly applied, restarting behaviour can be caused by an overheating CPU that has not been properly prepared or equally as bad too much thermal compound being applied and compound ending up in the CPU socket and shorting the board out.

How were the HS and CPU prepared.

What thermal compound was used.

How was the thermal compound applied as in how much etc.

Looking at your earlier picture, we can`t see the rear ports, are you connected to a black USB 2.0 port for the keyboard and the display or HDMI port for the sceen

Are you using a dedicated computer screen or a TV screen.

Also looking at your earlier picture, we can see that you have the RAM in the wrong slot, a single stick must be in slot A2 which is the second slot away from the CPU.

1: I am not able to test the parts on a different system, I am in the same boat as the internet people

2:idk what bios is on the mbo too, since I haven't been able to post yet

3: I cleaned the cpu and fan with alcohol, and put a dot on the cpu of thermal paste. Keep in mind, the fan behavior starts RIGHT when I hit the power switch, it doesn't look like overheating, it looks like the mbo doesn't recognize the RAM

I don't have usb 2.0 in the rear, only 3.1, so I don't have a choice there

I have tried every slot, but just to quintiple check, I'll try again with both RAM sticks, that's the best I can do

The ultimate question to ask is, did all the used parts come with a guarantee that they were in 100% working order.

The thermal compound has to be applied in a straight line in the centre of the CPU, example at Arctic Silver guide here

Not the issue here but fwiw you do have USB 2.0 ports, they are the two black ports next to the VGA and DVI ports.

Before you do anything else you need to get yourself a BIOS error speaker, see attachment below, you will be hard pressed to make any progress without such a speaker.

The below from the OPs Linus thread;

Out of the 5 or 6 pages on forums and reddit I made about this, you've been the most consistent with replies and suggestions

Talk about ungrateful, between them the two other forums couldn`t even jump start the PSU :ROFLMAO:

Thread closed.

Edit to add: The OP has now been ditched by the helpers on the other forums, wouldn`t have happened here so reap what you so I guess ;)
