I have just purchased the asrock 990fx killer and am having issues starting the computer. Everything turns on or so it seems but I cant tell if my bios has loaded or not because nothing is being displayed.

ASRock 990fx Killer
AMD FX 8320
Zotec 660ti
Kingston ddr3 1600 (2x8g)
ocz agility 3 128gb ssd
Antec Tp-650 (650x)

I appreciate any suggestions

Thanks All

Try to swap the VGA/DVI cable from the onboard to the dedicated GPU...see if anything displays...Check cables in the monitor....not sure if you have done this already.

It's a 990FX mobo, there are no onboard graphics. Check if everything is indeed connected as it should and then check if your cables/adapters etc are in working condition. Are you trying DVI,HDMI, which one?

I have the same board clean the gold contacts on your gpu with some alcohol clear the cmos and try every slot, note that the normal cmos for this board dose not have a jumper you have the add the jumper or metal contact to clear cmos. Make sure the cmos batter is not dead.

*note* everything was working prior to installing motherboard. Only things that are new are the mother board and ram. CPU is 7 days old but was working fine on my gigabyte mobo.

There should be lights on the board, and possibly a little digital display giving a readout of two numbers, telling you (depending on the numbers) if there are any warnings or post problems

 

[janeser357]

There are no light present on the board nor is there any digital readout of numbers.

Are your fans on?

 

[janeser357]

Yes CPU fans are on. Gpu fans are on.

Seems to be similar to your situation.. Try clearing your CMOS and rebooting. If there's no CMOS button on the board you'll have to use the jumper (should say in manual) and perhaps remove the battery.

I will try all these suggestions and let you know the results by tomorrow a this evening is busy :/. Once again I really appreciate the help and advice.

Well I have solved my issue. I had to clear my CMOS and format my hard drive then reboot with the clean hard drive and reinstall windows. Everything I now in working order. Thanks for the help, advice and links.
