Hey guys so I’m running into a problem with a computer I’m putting together. So I’m using a dell motherboard and swapping it to a cheap gaming case and put in an aftermarket psu. I’ve got the power switch pins figured out and can get the computer to power on and off with the power switch. It will power on and all fans spin.
The problem I’m having Is I get no video and no power to the usb ports or PS2 ports. Things I’ve tried.
1. Another know to be good 750W gold rated power supply – same results
2. Two different GPUs one powered by the PCIe slot GT210 and a RX 570 as well as the on-board VGA.
3. Ive used a PS2 keyboard and no lights come on
4. Tried front panel as well as all usbs in the rear with no luck
5. Ive unplugged all hard drives and the dvd drive one at a time and also with all unplugged.
6. Cleared Cmos and changed battery
7. Booted without any ram and got the two beep code which I googled was normal and put one stick of ram into each slot and booted each time, also tried another stick the same way… same results.
This motherboard was running 100% fine when I took it out of the dell case though it was about 6 months ago and has been sitting on a shelf since.
I normally don’t deal with prebuilt computers so is there just something weird about dells that you can switch the power supply or something else?
Just let me know if there is anything else I can do if all else fails I’m just gonna try and buy a cheap LGA 1155 motherboard and just swap out.
Thanks all for the help!
