Yo. Bought new pc. Put it together and when I turn it on, it runs, but it doesnt give me any display. From the 10 leds there are 2 above cpu where first lights for 1sec or less and then 2nd for like 2sec then they go off and no boot
I5 6600k asus170pro gaming corsair ddr4 3000MHz
Tried on my gpu dvi vga dp. Also on mbo vga dvi..

Hard to see but do you not have a cpu cooler?

That depend on how what he said expressed what he meant. Does "putting it together" mean "hooking up monitor, PC, and peripherals"? Or does it mean "screwing in a motherboard and socketing the RAM"?

If everything in the box came from some reseller already configured, the lack of a cooler would certainly be a sin to suffer for. For Reseller and OP, both.
 
HSF (cpu cooler) not included with this CPU. There's a header on that mother board at the top of your image just to the left of the ram slots. I see you have both the CPU FAN and CPU OPT headers populated. Those would be the ones that power and control the CPU cooler. The CPU FAN would just be for the fan on your cooler. The CPU OPT would be for something like the pump of a water cooler. I believe I see that you have thermal paste on your CPU. Do you have a CPU cooler installed? If not that would be why your system shuts down after attempting to post. I do see the cooler mounts in the picture, just no heatskink.

If you do have a CPU cooler properly installed (just not shown in this image) then you should check to see if you have your EATX12V plug from your power supply (PSU) properly inserted into the connector on the motherboard.

After that I would check to make sure your ram is properly seated into the A2 slot. To make sure, take it out and insert it properly back into place and make sure it's firmly in place on both ends.

Still not boot? Clear the CMOS. On this board the jumper is called CLRTC. Turn off the computer. Unplug the power cord. Short the two pins with a metal object such as a screwdriver. After plugging back in the computer, hit DELETE on the keyboard as it boots up to enter the bios and set the parameters. If that doesn't work, take out the CMOS battery, short the two pins, reinstall the battery and retry to enter the bios.

No luck yet? Make sure your CPU is seated properly in the LGA 1151 socket. Reseat CPU cooler and try and boot up computer.

After all that, maybe the something is up with the power supply.

My first guess would be the CPU cooler and go from there.

I replug the cpu several times, I replug RAM several times, tried 1-2 modules, obv I am not ret. I took off the cooler since it's not needed to run anything successfuly, what I didn't try is to clear CMOS but I am not sure what would that bring.
I already packed things and I am shipping them back to amazon and gona go for kaby lake and asus z170 prime I guess, since I am shipping back a headset already and buying headphones so it won't be much additional cost for all of that.
I wanted to see if there's smthg wrong with cpu or motherboard, 5-10min work if u have another cpu/mbo to plug, but guess what, pc stores charge fkin 30-1h for such things, where 30min work is 14€, ain't givin them 14€ for 5min s*** job those scamming *****. Can use that money to ship to amazon and get new since I already have to ship headset it wont be more than 1€ extra.

you two have some weird fetish with cpu coolers, I am talking about not being able to load BIOS nor having any display, and you two talk about cpu coolers... Yes I had a cpu fan connected, seperated from the heatsink of a cpu cooler that was resting far away. Did it give you both a hard on?

Bad attitudes are a great way to get people to help you for free.

It is possible to fry (completely destroy) a modern CPU turning it on for even a few seconds without a proper heat sink attached. Even just loading the BIOS screens can kill an uncooled processor if the system doesn't shut itself down quickly enough when it detects that the CPU is overheating.

First off, if you want us to help you for free, stop acting like an entitled little brat. Why are you even asking us for help if you took 5 minutes to decide to give up and return it all?

Second, €14 for troubleshooting by a certified computer service professional is cheap. I'd gladly pay that if I needed it. Way to utterly dismiss someone's choice of profession, by the way. Classy. (A hint: certified professional =/= enthusiast/hobbyist.) Oh, and presenting a non-specific PC troubleshooting session as a 5-minute endeavor just makes you come off as stupid and arrogant. I'd like to see you do the same if you had the parts available, in a way that's both safe and thorough enough to pinpoint an error. Of course you might get lucky and the first component tested might be defective. Or it might be some obscure incompatibility where no parts are actually dead, but somehow they just don't work together. That happens too, and is definitely not a 5-minute problem. If you're so sure it's simple, why not just order a set of spares, do the troubleshooting yourself, and return what you don't need?

Third, I love how you're ranting about everyone but you being incompetent sh*ts and go on to say you'll be ordering a Z170 motherboard with a Kaby Lake CPU. You're aware you'll most likely need a Skylake CPU to perform a BIOS update on that board, right? Or are you somehow psychic and know that the specific board you're getting is updated from the factory?

The attitude you're giving off in your posts here strikes me as fundamentally incompatible with the patience and care required to build and troubleshoot PCs. Have you considered buying a PS4?
 
You need the CPU cooler mounted to the CPU even when booting up. The CPU will overheat without it and the board will shut down.
it won't overheat since it doesn't even reach the BIOS, so it's not even running, and u can run windows w/o any cpu cooler

I won't pay 14€ if I can pay less just to ship everything back to amazon. + The prices dropped for 25€ on motherboard, reordering it would repay it.
I had a heatsink on while I was running it, as I said, I took it off to take a god damn picture
z170 prime doesn't exist, since it was a mistype, was ment to be z270 prime, and yes 170 would be a fail that prolly many did with a kaby lake and then paid more to a service just to make it fit for a literall 20min job or less, than it would cost them to get a proper motherboard with better feautres
I hope ur son wishes for a PS4, there u go.

No you can't. It doesn't even reach the BIOS screen BECAUSE it is already overheating as soon as you turn the computer on. The fact that you've apparently tried this multiple times almost certainly guarantees that the CPU is fried by now.

If/when you do get a new CPU and motherboard, do not turn it on without a heat sink on the CPU or you'll just fry that one as well.

a) The CPU is powered from the second you push the power button. There's a reason why a motherboard without a CPU won't even let you enter the BIOS. Also, there's a reason why CPU temp while in the BIOS is roughly "idling CPU" temperature, and not room temp.
b) Why would you remove the heatsink to take a picture in the first place?
c) Chill. Seriously. Do you expect us to help you more/faster/better if you swear?
d) You're buying into the silly, grouchy, ultra-consumerist idea that you'd rather repeatedly pay money to a corporation that doesn't give a damn about your problems rather than get help from an actual human being qualified to solve your problems. While you might save a few bucks in the long run, you'll have more trouble and spend more time fixing it (which you seem fundamentally unable to accept).
e) You come here asking for help, and less than an hour later you come back acting as if people are insulting you personally by asking basic troubleshooting questions (remember: we don't know you, and you didn't tell us what (if any) troubleshooting you had already done), while saying you've decided to throw in the towel and return it all. That makes me wonder: why ask in the first place? You're clearly not interested in actually contributing to a discussion that might figure this out, and you'd pretty much given up already. While I can understand the frustration of a new build not working, that's a horribly immature and silly reaction to it.
 
Reading this: reaffirms why I don't buy 'open box' customer returns from retailers.

lel, I wrote that to troll, the windows part should've gave it away, maybe I shouldn't since ppl actually do that oO.
I installed the cpu cooler obv and ran it with it, I reinstalled cpu + cooler few times just for the ... anyway, it didn't ran at any time.

I buy from amazon cuz I saved more than 100€ in the long run, than buying parts here in Croatia, with the shipping cost etc.
Ye I started to troll ppl that tried to help, since they expect every pleb here askin all kinds of questions and I was still mad on the whole situation
Cuz it was the moment I repeated the process of placing the cpu and cooler again for some reason, as I couldn't try anything else

anyway stuffs getting shipped soon, I am getting a new PSU also with this since this 7y old one might cause problems soon and a intel i5-7600k + asus z270 prime
 
Ye I started to troll ppl that tried to help
That, my friend, is a sure sign of a frighteningly immature and a**hole-esque personality. Good for you, I guess. A little bit of advice for the rest of your life: acting like that is a great way to make sure people despise you. Oh, and it makes for awful, awful forums. Good luck if you need any more help - I doubt anyone around here is much inclined to give you any advice at all.

You did?

Many of the people you "trolled" in this thread are the same ones who normally frequent the PSU sub-forum. I know I saw it but decided to stay away based on what has happened in this thread.

You know that saying about burning bridges? The best thing you could do is apologize for your behavior and quit wasting people's time with your "games". But based on your previous posts, I don't think that's likely. I sure hope you don't have any issues with your next build, because you are not amusing to many of us here.
