Can you see them?

I was looking everywhere in the screw box for risers but there was no rises,
the case has a lot of screws but but no mother board risers.

If I screwed risers in, the mother board would sit way to high but it did sit perfect in align with the back of the case.

What are you thoughtsd here?

 

As long as the board clears metal backing plate, those risers should be ok.
I can see now. I was not familiar with that specific case.
Those risers will be ok.

 

Thank you that has put my mind at peace.
Its so hard, i have mirrored it to my current pc.
I have thought and thought and thought.
It must be the ram or the battery.

Thank you for so much help and sorry for wasting so much of your time.

Pete.

 

You are not wasting anyone's time, Pete.
We want to find what's causing this also.

 

Thank you.

Is this a thought?
I took the ram out of myt own pc and booted it.

I got the same response on my pc as I did on the new build.

Do you think it might be a ram issue?

 

The ram you bought is fine for your build.
Some new Ram now have a very thin protective sleeve over the contacts.
With your eyesight you haven't left it on, have you.??

 

I definitely did not take the film off the ram but I did take a slime film off the heat sink which I almost missed.

I hope that this is the reason for no boot.
I will attend to this tomorrow thanks so much as alwasy!

 

I have a simple question, where did the power plug for the graphics card come from? Was it something you moved or was it an extra?

 

Hello, the power plug for the graphics card is a part of the psu.
So it was an unused plug which my friend plugged in.

 

When you say slime off the heat sink what exactly do you mean. You did apply the proper amount of thermal paste?

 

I am not sure about slime, maybe I wrote a typo in.
The heat sink is the Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler.

I took the fine film of plastic off of that.

the thermal paste covers the top of the cpu, the bracket is mounted in and would not move, the sink sat on top and screwed in firm.

 

Ok just making sure the thermal goop or paste was there.

Thank you for clarifying.

 

They way I see it, everything must fit and not move perfectly.
Like connecting a jigsaww puzzle.

If there is plastic on the ram, that has to be it I think..

Thank you also

 

I could not find the case speaker cable. Is the speakers cable with the case or is on the psu?

Speaker connector goes bottom fatherest right.

 

Hi Pete.
This is what a Motherboard Speaker looks like.
Just plugs in where it says "SPEAKER" on the mobo where I told you. (bottom right)
No speaker cables.

 

What is the make and model of the case that you are using?

 

Be Quiet! Silent Base 800 Case Silver full tower, Rustys

I can't work out how high those riser bases are!!!!

 

All 6th gen CPU'S come with a transparent stick on cover and prob you haven't removed that one either.
Very hard to see.
As we are getting virtually nowhere, I suggest you completely dismantle all and start again.
You should have been supplied with a small tube of heatsink paste with the mobo.
Clean all heatsink paste off very carefully.
Watch this video as you are building the PC again.
Stop and start the video as you are building your PC.
Unless you pulled back the silver lever to install the CPU, you will have bent pins.
You need a magnifying glass to check the rows both ways, by someone with excellent eyesight.

 

Did you use the Standoffs? There should of been two if them.

8.5 INSTALLATION OF THE MOTHERBOARD Install the motherboard’s I/O shield first, aligning the motherboard with the standoff in the center of the motherboard tray, secure with the #6-32 flat head screws supplied.

On some of the quite cases on the backside or it may be accessible on the motherboard side there is a panel that may need to be removed.

 

Hello everyone.
The good news is I got the pc going and this thread gave me heaps to think about so thank you.

The most cringe worthy error I made was sitting the spu in the wrong direction.
I read the manual and was sure I had place it in the right position.


I changed the angel of the cpu and that was all.

It was hard to hear but eventually I could here the cpu fan jogging and not continuous.

So it was rebooting.

I installed win 7 which is what the mobo does not want.
I might convince my friend to install win 10...

all is well.
