GA-Z710MX-Gaming 5: no boot/sound

[Skagnatti]

Hello

I have a new build with the following specs:

Motherboard - GA-Z710MX Gaming 5
Memory - Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x8GB 288pin DDR4 ( BLS8G4D240FSA )
CPU - Intel i7 6700K LGA1151
Video Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 760 4GB
Power Supply - Silverstone 1000w
Hard Drive - Samsung SSD 250GB
CPU Cooler - Intel TS13X Liquid Cooling
Case - Fractal Node 804

When booting this build, the CPU appears to get power, but because of the case not having a built in speaker, there are no audible POST beeps. The build powers up for about 5 seconds then powers off.

I have the 8 pin CPU power cable plugged into the motherboard. I tested unplugging that and it wouldn't power up for nearly as long.

I also swapped out the memory sticks - put both the DIMMS in DDR4-2 & DDR4-1, then taking both out but it does the same thing. No change in the boot behavior.

The monitor is plugged into the HMDI slot on the video card but since it is not getting past the POST, nothing displays. It is also not getting far enough to use a mouse/keyboard.


Thanks for any insight.

More likely the memory we have seen a lot of these boards have problems with any thing over 2133. Some memory is set for  optimized for the latest Intel X99 platforms. Your memory is set for that platform.

Look for some thing like these and 2133 vs 2400 you will not see a big chance.

Thanks for the response, dmdilks.

I can give that a try. However, looking up that model number for the DIMM kit of the G.Skill, the mobo does not show it as approved, though I suppose they will work?

The model DIMMs I have now are definitely not in the list of approved. My fault for not validating before buying.


Thanks again for the help!

I was pointing that out to show you what kind of memory you can use. Go by the list if you can and it was just a example.

[Skagnatti]

Will do.

Appreciate the assistance, dmdilks.

Just an update.

Got some G.Skill Ripjaws from the approved list for this board, booted up fine.

So far so good.

Glad you got things work out and hope things go well from now on
