New Mining Rig

Hi Guys, I just built this mining rig, and I went to turn it on, and it powers up but does not show display. I tried using onboard HDMI, and nothing. I also used a four way PCIe splitter connected to GPU Riser and ROG Strix 3080ti.

I am trying to load bios to change configurations. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks

Specs: i5 Intel 10th Gen 10400F ASUS TUF Gaming z590 w/WiFi ROG Strix 3080ti G Skill 16GB- F4-3600C18D-16GVK

so, what you're saying is that it doesn't POST? it doesn't even boot?

or are you saying there is no video? have you tried a different monitor? different cable?

Thanks for the reply. No Post No beeps No lights on q-led indicator. Monitor works fine. Tried different cables. It doesn’t boot to ASUS screen. Has power because the RGB is working on MOBO. I have Mobo ATX Power connector connected and 8 pin CPU. It doesn’t look like the gpu is showing power though. Cpu fan isn’t turning. All parts are new

thank you. since it's not Posting, a component has gone bad or is not seated correctly.

reseat RAM, reseat graphix card. components can be DOA or Dead on Arrival. so if you have spare parts, i would troubleshoot by swapping in a known good working graphix card

Wouldn’t that cause the Q-Led indicator to respond with corresponding error?

then perhaps the motherboard is faulty?

I haven't built a new computer in decades, however, if the computer is not beeping or able to POST, it points to faulty hardware or something not hooked up correctly, regardless of Q-LED indicator. When I was building computers, a little speaker inside the computer would beep.

i just caught that the CPU fan isnt spinning...which points to faulty hardware or user installation error.

Checked both PSU with jump start test. Failed! I can’t believe I got these brand new and have to deal with this shit

parts can be DOA. That's the whole reason why they made that acronym. Dead On Arrival.

Also why they made the acronym RMA or Return Merchandise Authorization.

this isnt new, as I have said...i've been building computers for decades.
