Troubleshooting New Build

[alterpath]

Hi guys,

May I know where in SLS I can get someone to help troubleshoot my CPU?

I have tried many to troubleshoot my new rig but unfortunately it is not booting up and nothing is being displayed. All the fans and motherboard light indicated that it runs and I'm not too sure what's the issue.

And also I snagged the last MSI B150i set that PCTheme was having and I only noticed that the set has already been opened only when I got home, not too sure if that might be the problem.

SIGH

I was able to boot it up once when I assemble everything out of the case. But after fixing everything else, it decided to stop working.

I was thinking of that. But I didnt buy all the parts from them... you reckon that will be okay?

Did you try with motherboard graphics? Meaning connect your hdmi/vga to the motherboard ports instead of the graphic card?

Yeah unfortunately I did that as well

Check if all the power connectors are connected properly? Because it happened to me when I built mine. The 8-pin connector to the motherboard was loose.

I did check all the power connector pins too. I reckon I'll drop by PCTheme and just make a payment for them to troubleshoot my CPU. I was wondering if there's any alternative.

Wow, I thought PC Themes is one of the better stores to go to if want to DIY PC.. Surprised that this happened.

Maybe TS just so unlucky got a bad board

Hey! No bad rep on PCtheme though! I received really good service from the store... I'm probably just slightly unlucky. I would totally recommend the store to my friends.

I'm planning to go look for Nigel at his store for troubleshooting and get an exchange of parts from PCtheme since it's still within the exchange period.

I'm just wondering how much should I pay for Nigel's service? Wouldn't be nice if I pay him too little.
