Help! No signal detected [almost solved]
Hi guys. Got my brand new rig up and running yesterday installed windows and drivers and ran it smoothly for the whole evening. Until I flicked that damned EZ XMP switch on the motherboard. After that it says No signal detected on the monitor and it goes black.
I tried to remove the RAM and put them back and the signal came back. I reset BIOS to default settings, then after restart the problem is back. I tried to change the slots and hold the MemOK! button and it worked once, and after restart problem is back. Tried it now many times in many configurations but nothing.
Also my GTX770 was running on 135Mhz core and like 200 something MHz memory. I had the latest Nvidia drivers installed. Dunno if this is unrelated or not.
Changing components is a bit of a hassle since I got my custom loop up and running.
Please help, this is driving me nuts :S
Specs:
Asus Z97-AR, I7-4790K (watercooled), GTX770 4GB (watercooled),2x Corsair Vengeance 1866 8 GB, Corsair CS750M, Windows 7 Home Premium, Samsung 840 EVO SSD250 GB, WD Green 3 TB, 420 & 360 Rads, D5 pump, XSPC Raystorm, Alphacool Full cover GPU block.
Thanks for your time.
EDIT:
I have tried the following:
- Plugged the power cable into a grounded socket since it was not grounded before.
- Removed the graphics card and used the HDMI output on the motherboard.
- Removing all extra cables from the PSU except for the power to the mobo, CPU, and GPU.
- Loosened the motherboard screws a bit since they were pretty tight, to prevent short circuiting.
- Switched the RAM modules into different sockets.
Still nothing.
When I applied thermal paste to the GPU I might have put too much. Would excess thermal paste be able to short circuit the GPU resulting in this kind of problem?
There are no red LEDS blinking or glowing on the mobo. If I remove the RAMS the DRAM LED lights up. No beeping. so POST seems to work. Major headscratcher -.-
EDIT 2: Removed the CMOS battery and had it out for a couple of minutes and tadaa! We got liftoff. Loaded defaults again and works fine, although the POST is really long, like 10 sec. Goes through all the component LEDS like 3 times.
Still the GPU core clock is 135 MHz and memory is 324 MHz. Perhaps driver issue. Gonna try to install Crysis 3 and see how it performs.
Thanks for your collective moral support! Posting here just makes everything better
