Hey guys, I just finished my first PC build and I am having problems since the first time I started it up.
Problem:
I press the power button both on the case or on the motherboard itself and it turns on. The hard drive light does not come on and the computer will not boot up. I hear, see, and feel all of the fans spinning and it seems like everything is on. My screen just says no signal and I get dr codes on the motherboard that are different every time.
Most of the time I get 00 (Please check if the CPU is installed correctly and then clear CMOS). I then power down and unplug the power and wait, then try powering up. I keep trying until it will finally boot up. It will freeze within a few minutes and I have to start the process all over again. Only three times in the past week has it been able to stay on for about 8 hours which I will power down for the night. Also sometimes I press the power button and after a few seconds, everything shuts off and restarts only to give the dr codes.
error codes that I have seen:
00, 92, 99, 69, 62, A9, 4F, and I think 6A or 9A.
Things that I have tried:
I have taken everything out of the case and put it all back in to make sure that it was all put together correctly. I even checked the CPU and applied fresh thermal paste. I moved the video card into another slot and the same thing happened. I moved the RAM sticks from A1, B1 to A2, B2.
Since anything could be causing the not booting up and freezing I don't know what the issue is. I believe it could either be: the motherboard since it gives me different errors and sometimes shuts off on its own, processor since the motherboard gives me the 00 error, or the power supply because the computer sometimes shuts off.
I was told to check the temperatures of everything to see if it was overheating. BIOS shows the CPU and MB at about 30 degrees Celsius and the highest that I have seen it at was only 41 degrees Celsius. I downloaded Sisoft Sandra lite to monitor the temps while on the desktop. Again the CPU and MB temps are good but this software shows the MCH/Motherboard 2 at 192 degrees Celsius, which I do not believe are correct since that is extremely hot and that temperature is constantly at that value and never changes. Not sure where the MCH is on the board but with that kind of heat, I should be able to feel it while hovering my hand over the board but did not feel any heat.
Specs:
MB- ASrock z77 extreme 4
CPU- Intel i5-3350p processor (not overclocking)
GPU- Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 1gb oc 256bit GDDR5
RAM- G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
PSU- Antec Neo Power 500 500W ATX12V
Case- Lian Li PC-9F
Sorry if this is unclear, I am just so frustrated and trying to remember to include everything.
Any suggestions that I can try or if maybe I received a defective part?
