Computor Won't Boot

Finished build, but bios not showing up. Do I need the disk that came with motherboard loaded up or Windows disk loaded up for it to boot?

What are the specs of the PC? What does the PC do when you press the power button?

Double check all cables.

Make sure youy plugged the monitor in to the GPU and not the motherboard.

Do a BIOS reset by removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes.

Unplug all devices the PC does not need to get in to the BIOS, keyboard, headphone, flashdrive, hard drive, Wifi card etc..

On first boot it can take a few minutes before the PC will show anything on screen.

All fans spun and all lights turned on. Just no boot screen. Ryzen 5 1600, Asus strix b 350f, gtx 1060 3gb.

Make sure to test the Motherboard outside the PC Case first.

Please DO NOT connect any Drives yet, make sure the BIOS posts and works, there is no discs, those are all for the recycle bin. You should have your Win10 OS already created, by you, using your own USB Flash Drive. For Drivers & Software, those are all free, online; done after OS installation.

Make sure TV/Monitor is connected to the actual graphics card that resides in the slot; NOT a video output that may be located on the rear of the Motherboard.

Follow the steps in Manual to reset the cmos/bios

Once powered on again, first make sure the TV/Monitor has the correct Input selected already; then allow upwards of 90 secs for a picture to display, as the Motherboard is new, and that GPU is new to that Motherboard.

The led next to the 6-pin is lit up on gpu. Asus mobo rgb is working. All fans spin. Do you suggest removing my hdd and then trying a boot? My monitor is a curved samsung, and gpu is a Asus dual oc 1060 3gb.

there is an led to the left of the ram. when you power on the computer, do you see it cycle through 4 colors?

Beetlejuice May 29, 2018 @ 3:31pm

It appears to be staying in a orange color. Top left to ram.

ugafan May 29, 2018 @ 3:36pm

that's ram. be sure it's in all the way.

Beetlejuice May 29, 2018 @ 3:37pm

Alrighty. Will get back with you tmrow.

ugafan May 29, 2018 @ 3:39pm

okay. what you should see is orange, red, white, then green.

orange - ram
red - cpu
white - gpu
green - boot

It appears to be stuck on orange. I made sure the ram was plugged in all the way, and it stayed at orange. Does it cycle before boot or no?

ASUS Motherboard = Power it off fully, then press the MemOK Button on the Motherboard and it should boot and enter the BIOS if the RAM happens to be hard to detect and/or run with SPD on the defalt AUTO setting. You then want to change the DRAM settings in BIOS to XMP = Enabled.

If still no dice, remove all RAM and try only 1 of them in a different slot.

yes, it's supposed to cycle colors before bios shows up. ram or motherboard could be bad.

Yes the colors cycling is an internal checker system; however they should either go out or change color for verification reasons; then post the bios + video.
