VGA no signal...Help?

[Nell]

So recently I've built a desktop with the knowledge I've learned from Youtube. With everything finished I became hype, thinking "I'LL FINALLY HAVE A GOOD GAMING COMPUTER!" But I digress, I hooked it up to a compaq moniter using VGA (Of course) and got "VGA no signal" moniter flickers off. I've went on youtube and found out I had to take the ram out and put it back in and I did it again properly. Nothing happen, tried it on 3 Moniter (Asus, Compaq, Some Super old computer FTW)

Just incase these questions are asked I'll answer them now: I used some type of shock gloves thingy to not mess anything up, I did not touch the small pins on the CPU, This computer sadly...Do not have HDMI :'(, The fans turn on and the green light do too and no I do not hear any ringing or bell sound, Google is our friend but after 5 days of looking on fourms STEAM is a better friend! So I'm asking here...hopefully the right fourm.

Please someone help me! I can't go back to Counter-Strike 1.6! I need to give love to CS:GO <3

Please list the brand + model of:
Motherboard and Power Supply

The case should have come with a Speaker; or the Motherboard might already have one onboard.

Ensure the speaker works. Normal bootup/post you should always get a single beep.

For further tests:
- Any new Motherboard, check the CMOS Battery Voltage, as that may not prevent power on, but may prevent the cmos/bootup cycle. Also new motherboards are often checked & tested prior to shipping from reseller, so if bootup issues, reset the cmos jumper (refer to motherboard manual for details)

- Double check any/all power & data cable type connections.

- Best bet on any new build is to actually do it outside the case. This can save alot of time if something is wrong, like say the Motherboard perhaps.

- Remove all RAM, power on and it should give u the beeps for "no RAM installed"

- ReInstall RAM, remove the GPU. If there is no Onboard GPU then the system should give certain beep codes for not having a GPU.

- If you have both an Onboard & Dedicated GPU, then ensure the Display is connected to the Dedicated one prior to power on/bootup. Plus if u do have Onboard GPU and you having issues with the Dedicated one, remove dedicated one and try the onboard one.

- Disconnect power & data for any Drives when troubleshooting, or when using any new Power Supply just to avoid killing a drive.

Also, depending on what your old system was, even after a normal power up/boot your prior install of Windows OS might no longer function properly under a new motherboard and such. So please be prepared to reinstall your OS fresh/clean install once u do get it up and running.

dumb Q, but did you connect the 4/8pin powersupply CPU connector to the motherboard? usually at the top left of the board.

I was thinking the same thing... that could explain why you gpu cannot power on correctly.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Without the 4/8pin power, the board will not power on at all, period.
Besides, that is for CPU/VRM, not the GPU.
GPUs have their own power, either just from PCIE slot, or both PCIE slot + extra PCIE power connections (if required by that GPU)

The board does power on, at least in the times that I've witnessed it first hand. It certainly won't boot or pass POST, though.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Well regardless, double-check everything. That is all we can tell the OP really, without seeing it first hand. He might just require some on-site tech help, or friend(s) with more knowledge.

Best thing to do from here would be to remove the motherboard and try the setup outside of the chassis. Something I would always do first anyways before u ever put it inside the case. Could simply be a faulty motherboard. But again it could any number or other reasons as well. Such as issues with the I/O Plate, Stand-Offs, u name it...

without the 4/8pin power connector, it will power on, just not post or boot ect.. since the cpu does not get any power

WOW, I have to first thank all of you for going out of your ways to help me. It truly means a lot.
I'll be trying to do all these solutions. Sorry about responding slowly I've been busy. I'll get back to you guys when I finally finish doing all this!

[Bad 💀 Motha]

This is an older system, but still new enough to cover the bases.
