Can someone help me identify whats wrong?

[dayvurd]

So i built a case, put all my components in and now im getting a beep, then 3 beeps after that.
Other than that i keep booting up and it goes straight to BIOS screen. Could this meam my SSD is dead, or my MoBo? My ssd is being read by the MoBo but just nothing happens after i change the boot

Asus z97-E board
Samsung evo 120GB ssd

1 continuous followed by 3 short beeps, indicates no VGA detected.

I got to a point where id boot up though and it wouldnt do that, at one point i even got to the desktop but after i restarted it went back to square one. Sometimes it boots straight to bios somwtimes it beeps.

Try reseating the PCI riser cable, could well be that which is causing the problem.

 

[dayvurd]

I also keep getting this, i unplugged everything apart from the SSD from the psu

Would this be anything to do with having secure boot enabled? I quickly read a thread about ithttp://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2054214/dead-pci-slot.html

It is worth checking in the bios and turning that off just see/confirm if that was the issue.
I would also suggest unplugging the power cables from the motherboard and gfx card blow any dust out the plugs then reseat them firmly.

Did you tes the gear out of the case before assembly? I had similar issue with a case years ago that had a subtle bend/twist i didnt even notice it but was enough to not post.

Secure boot for me is enabled and greyed out in the bios. And my dvi cable is plugged into my gpu, and im getting signal, so would that indicate that its not the gpu?. Ive disabled network boot and now its just going to a black screen and straight to bios. I hope its not my ssd. How would i test if its dead or not if my bios can read it?

remove the gfx card. can you boot using onboard gfx?

 

[dayvurd]

Nope, even when i plug my dvi into the back of thr mobo it does exactly the same thing and boots to.bios

 

[RobM]

ok so same issue with or without the gfx card?
do have another PC?

 

[RobM]

also your on Award Bios right?

 

[dayvurd]

I unplugged everything(gfx and fans from.psu), put my dvi into my mobo and ran in the bios boot up from.sata only and it booted straight to the bios and no this is my only pc

 

[RobM]

did you physically remove the graphics card?

 

[dayvurd]

Yep the graphics card is out and off

 

[RobM]

and your able to boot into bios?

 

[dayvurd]

Yeah i can boot to bios

 

[RobM]

ok lets start from the top.
Is this a new build or an upgrade to some components?

 

[dayvurd]

Not really, the only new things are my case fans. I just moved it into a new case

 

[RobM]

ok so the case is different.
Take the following out of the case
Motherboard with cooler ram boot drive and gfx card
Connect to psu and power up
