Blank Screen No Beep No Post on new Z87-G45 Gaming

I posted this on another forum, but since I think my issue might be a bit different I figured a new message would be better.
I switch on older mobo with the this one, new ram, and new Cpu. 
When I power it on everything spins up but no post no screen no beep nothing....just spinning fans.
I did all the tests, plugs, bent socket, ram chips, etc...
Since I was switching out a older motherboard with this one, I knew my power supply was good but who knows.
Today.  I took a case and stripped it down to metal...put in all the correct mounts in the correct positions, new (in box) Antec 650W PSU
Mounted the board in the new case, connected the speaker, usbs and switches.  Plugged in the PSU.
Note: I didn't hook up anything.  No Hard disk, no DVD drive, no keyboard, no mouse, nothing.
plugged in the monitor (via DVI)
turned it on...same result.  Spinning CPU fans but no beep and a blank screen.
BTW, I registered at the MSI support site but since I send in my serial number tag for the rebate I couldn't register a product.
MOBO: Z87-G45 Gaming  purchased 12/30/2013
CPU: i7 4771
RAM:  Patriot 2x8GB (in slot 2 and slot 4) PC3-15000 1866Mhz
PSU: Antec  650W
Yesterday I even pulled out the multimeter and started look at the voltage numbers...not that I know what they are supposed to be.
What else can I try? 
Any help would be great and thank you!
Gene

Just an update. 
I returned the board to Fry's and while there, there was someone else returning the same board for the exact same reason.  He got a different board and I just exchanged mine for the same model (even though it was an open box).
I followed xmad's advice and did a out of case test with it.  While sitting on the plastic 'Conductive Grid Bag, I plugged in the CPU, the RAM and the power.  Hooked up the DVI and turned on the power.
and....got a message on the screen about the amount of memory has changed. 
I'll take that.   Putting the board in the case and hooking up all the wires now.
Thank you xmad for helping me out....at least I know I wasn't going insane.

  • Help! Can't overclock new Z87-G45 Gaming without Event 41 Task 63 shutdowns

    I'm running into a frustrating problem with Event 41 Task 63 "unexpected shutdowns" when I'm trying to overclock the computer I recently built. The machine shuts down instantly and seemingly randomly under light load, often when it's idle. It doesn't BSOD, there's no crash dump, and the bug check codes are all zeros in event viewer. It doesn't shutdown while stress testing or playing games. It's certainly not overheating.
     If I run the processor at default clock this doesn't happen, or at least, it hasn't so far. But when I dial in a modest 4.2ghz overclock, it'll reliably happen once or twice daily. The thing is, my overclock will stress test for 24 hours stable with every program I've tried (Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, AIDA64, Prime95) and passes Intel Burn Test 10 passes at very high. It only seems to generate the Event 41 errors while idle or web browsing.
     Steps I've taken so far that have not solved the problem:
     - replaced PSU
     - replaced memory
     - checked cable connections to motherboard
     - flashed bios to latest
     - updated all drivers to latest
     - disabled C-states
     - disabled adaptive voltage and dynamic multiplier
     - disabled sleep in Windows power plan
     - disabled all but one audio driver
     - verified hard drive passes dskchk
     - verified memory passes memtest 12 hours
     - verified sfc/scannow gives no errors
     I'm close to abandoning overclocking but that's disappointing.
     Here are my system specs:
     OS: Windows 8
     Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 gaming
     Processor: Intel i5 4670k
     Cooler: Hyper 212+
     Memory: Gskill 2x4GB 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 (Haswell compatible)
     Video card: MSI 770 GTX Twin Frozer
     PSU: Seasonic G-series 650W (Haswell compatible)
     Firewire Card: SIIG 2-port PCIe
     Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
     Optical: ASUS DRW-24B1ST
     Here's the overclock I've been attempting:
     Core multiplier: 42
     Vcore: 1.16v
     Ring multiplier: 41
     Vrin: 1.15v
     Vccin: 1.85v
     XMP enabled (1600mhz, 1.5v)
     (all other settings default in MSI bios)
    Can anyone suggest to me what might be going on here?
    I've tried raising vcore to 1.19 and running fixed voltage with no difference.
    Are there other settings I should try changing? One thing, for example, is that I've left vdroop control on auto. I have different % options in the MSI bios, should I start experimenting? I read that Haswell has little vdroop so I didn't mess with it.
    Is it right to assume this isn't a motherboard problem, since I don't seem to get the unexpected shutdowns when I'm running stock clocks? I think I've ruled out the PSU and ram since I've replaced them both, so if it's a hardware issue I think it's got to be the motherboard.
    Thanks for any help.

    I know this topic is old but i have been having this same problem as andy and i cant figure it out. Also im sorry if i wasnt suppose to continue on someones thread but i thought it would be easier since we had the same problem. I have the same mobo and cpu, this only happens when i try to OC. when i set it back to stock bios it doesnt happen. Event id 41 with a random reboot and no BSOD. i dont know what to do anymore besides revert back to stock. IF anyone can help me let me know.
    i have oc to 4.4 multiplier with 34x uncore ratio.
    things i have tried. set everything to auto except those two settings above.
    changed oc multiplier to fixed/dynamic.
    turned off xmp lowered ram to 1333mhz ddr3
    tested vcore from 1.15 to 1.265 in bios.
    vccin at 1.9 to 1.95
    vring to 1.15
    auto offset settings (vcore/vrin) - also tried .001 offset as well
    turned off and on c-states
    C1E off
    ram timing and volts to auto or manual timings of 9-10-9-28-2 1.5V which were found on the box of ram
    ive ran memtest+86 for 4 runs with no problems
    sfc/scannow -checked out ok
    ran antivirus/malware
    ccleaner
    lowered cpu multiplier to x40
    i passed AIDA64 and prime95 with 6 hours each with vcore at 1.2 but its reboots randomly when on light load like internet browsing.

  • Sound Problem With new motherboard Z87-G45 Gaming

    2 days ago i bought a new motherboard msi Z87-G45 Gaming ,
    when i started playing my favorite game (cs go) i noticed that the sound at the left and right are louder(way louder it even hurts me ears )
    and the sound at the front and the back are just normal, i also noticed that quality of the sound is worse , so im wondering if the onboard soundcard is broken or has it to do with something else?
    and yes the Realtek Hd Audio driver is installed
    im using the onboard soundcard Realtek ALC1150
    and the headset Siberia V2 Steelseries
    I am new to the forum if i posted this in the wrong section or something i apologize
    i also like to apologize for my bad english.

    >>Posting Guide<<
    Apart from Realtek you could install Sound Blaster Cinema.
    Try to reinstall the drivers >>Realtek Downloads<< with the latest available.
    Try different headset/speakers.

  • Msi z87-g45 gaming, no display, no beep.

    I am building a gaming computer. When i turn on my computer the cpu fan spins quickly then immediately slows down to a slow spinning state. My Boost audio light is on as well. But i get no display. I have tried the DVI HDMI and VGA outputs. I also accidentally pressed the cmos button while the compute was on. I also removed my mobo battery for 5 mins. Oh and on top of all that i dont have my standoffs. So maybe the board is short circuiting. But if that was the case my is my cpu fan remaining on as well as my boost audio light?
    Here are my specs:
    Ultra 550w ATX Power Supply
    2 DDR3 in slots 2 and 4
    Cpu with no bent pins (that i can tell)
    Thanks for your help.

    Im having exactly the same problem did you manage to get it working in the end?
    The board has been tested by aria computing and came back fine they have also replaced the RAM and CPU incase they were the problem. Il list all the things Iv tried so far. Thing that gets me is there is no beep when I turn it on so something is wrong and im banging my head against the wall not being able to figure it out.
    Checked both power connections many many times
    Check for shorts
    Changed power supply
    Changed RAM (and tested in all configerations)
    Tested 3 monitors on all ports (onboard DVI, VGA and HDMI)
    Put 3 GPU's in it as well and tested all ports on them
    Tested on a low end CPU
    Tried out of case with just power leads and a monitor connected (no HD,USB,frount audio)
    Reset COSMOS and checked the battery
    Here are the specs
    Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor

  • Dv5 1002nr blank screen n beep code of series of 3 beeps

    Hi...I have this dv5 1002nr laptop..upon boot it gives a blank screen and a series of 3 beeps three times..the beep codes I found say its the memory..I tried that to no avail..what would the next step to try..any ideas?

    Hey there, kahlic
    I see you laptop is unable to boot and you're getting a beep code of 3 beeps when turning the device on.
    You were right in your assessment of this sequence being indicative of a memory problem. However, you say you've attempted some sort of troubleshooting to no avail. What steps did you take to try to solve the issue with the memory?
    Did you remove all DIMM modules from the motherboard and replace them one at a time, attempting a boot on each single installation?
    If you have not, try this and see how this affects your boot success.
    While you're removing the dimm cards, conduct a visual examination of the cards and the seating to make sure there are no cracks, build-up(black substance on the contact surface), or dust. The contacts should be a dull golden color devoid of any dark marks or irregularities.
    If reseating your dimms do not solve the issue, you may be required to purchase new memory for your system.
    Are you aware of your device's warranty status?

  • Blank screen after hibernate, no post

    Toshiba satellite l505d-s5983
    I have had this laptop for 4 years, and recently i was running into an issue where my laptop may die in hibernation during my commute.
    Usually, I could pop the battery out, use wall power, and windows would resume...
    However, one day it just wouldnt come back.
    I have tried draining the battery, taking it out, draining the laptop and plugging it back into the wall with no progress.
    On boot, LED, USB, DVD, Fans, all work...  caps lock and numberlock flash, and go out....
    Screen remains black, no post. I have a toshiba windows 7 disc, but it does no good.
    I bought a usb/sata cable and I can access my HD and save my data, so the HD is good
    I swapped ram chips one at a time in alternating slots and received nothing.
    I plugged the ram into my girl friend's toshiba and it boots fine. So the ram is good.
    I attempted using her powercord,  and got nothing.
    I plugged up my desktop monitor and got nothing.
    I have tried fn/f5 as well and got nothing.
    I took apart the laptop, cleaned it up... stripped it down to the basics, plugged in the power and still nothing on the screen.
    Having given up,  I bought the exact same laptop on ebay, thinking I could swap the HD's and be good to go...
    When I received the laptop, exact same situation... alternated hd, ram, nothing. 
    It appears to be stuck in hibernation, but I would assume that some combination of wall power, or draining/chargining would fix it on at least one of the two laptops.
    Thoughts?

    Thanks for the quick response...
    Hi You said you have the Windows 7 disc, but it does no good. Are trying to boot from the disc. What actually happens. Do you have the boot order set to boot from CD/DVD first and HD second. Are you powering off your PC with Bothdisc in CD Rom and then powering on your PC? 
    I get a blank screen and I do not even make it to post (toshiba screen) to change boot order. When I power on the laptop, and put the disc in you can hear it spin as if it is attempting to load, but nothing ever comes on the screen. I have also tried leaving the disc in, and powering on the laptop.  - With both, my laptop, and the ebay laptop.
     If you can't boot with the disc and the disc is good, you could be looking at a power supply problem, could have a bad power jack or the worst, a bad mother board. You said you tried her power cord. Not wise unless they are the same model.
    I have 2 off brand power cords, specifically for my laptop. Both cords receive power at the box, and seem to do fine charging the batteries  for both as well. As a side note, booting with AC unplugged doesn't result in any changes. Her laptop (the 3rd toshiba) is an A205, and seems to have no problem using one of my cords.
    Can you borrow a external monitor??
    I have a monitor for my HP desktop, which is functioning. When I plug it into the wall, and into either laptop (and attempting fn+f5) I get nothing. No signal from the monitor.
    PS Did you get a power adapter with your ebay PC?
    It was suppose to be missing a power adapter and an OS. The seller is a computer repair place. There were pics of the laptop at post, and it is the same laptop because it shares a scratch with what was received. The guy is willing to refund me, but it just seems odd that I would come across 2 laptops of the same model with the same problem. 
    I spoke to another repair person on FB that suggested taking out the cmos to drain the board, but it is soldered in. I have also left the battery and plug out for 24 hrs, thinking it may help drain some juice, to no avail.
    I have been googling for almost 2 days, between msg boards/youtube etc... and i'm pretty stumped. I am not taking apart the ebay model, but i have tried practically everything i can think of, as far as disconnecting components on mine, and hoping for a post.
    ultimately, I want to be able to use my hard drive as is, in a laptop, primarily because of the programs that are installed, with the least expense attached as my job will not replace the laptop.

  • A78M-E45 blank screen, wont boot, no post boot.

    Hi there,
    I always had ASUS boards with Intel processors. Now Im building a MSI / AMD computer.
    Motherboard: A78M-E45
    Memory: Kingston blu 16gb 1600mhz KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G (two sticks of 8gb)
    Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 760K
    Power: Corsair CX430 V2
    Graphics: Club3D Radeon R9 270 14 series
    SSD: Crucial M500 240gb sata3
    Case: CoolerMaster N300
    With this configuration the system wont boot. Just a blank screen.
    I did a few tricks like changing the Power to a better one. Unplugged the SSD and DVD drive. Cleared the cmos.
    No luck.
    The processor is compatible but the memory is not on the list. The board should handle speeds up to 2133mhz so that sould be no problem.
    What am I missing here?
    Thanks,
    Sebastiaan.

    I have a few questions for you:
    what other power supply did you try? (it may be a power problem as a AMD system with that config may need upto a 500-550W PSU with the CPU and Graphics combo you have)
    have you tried each stick of RAM individually on the board? (Some kits are defective and you need to test each)
    can you try the board outside the case on a non conductive surface (cardboard or untreated wood) to make sure its not a short under the board?

  • New z97 G45 Gaming board with big issues

    Hi guys,
    Don't know if I am posting in the wrong spot but I recently bought a new CPU and to go with it I purchased a z97 G45 Gaming board however I'm currently having issues. Before I talk about the issues I'll just state my build:
    CPU: i5-4690k
    MB: z97 G45 Gaming
    GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770
    After market cooler: Noctua NH-DH14
    PSU: Silverstone Strider Gold 850W ST85F-GS
    Ram: 8GBx2 Kingston Hyperx Blu 1600
    Case: Aerocool X-Predator Case - Black/Orange
    So the issue is when I press the power button everything turns on like it should except any fans connected to the motherboard will not work. Everything plugged into the fan controller that comes with the case works fine. However the weird thing is when the computer is about to turn off the fans connected the motherboard will start working for a few seconds and then go off with everything else.
    Another large problem is that no video is being outputted from the GPU or on board graphics. I know the GPU is at least getting power since the fans are spinning on it. Also the fans connected to the CPU are working fine since they'll actually power. 
    I'm pretty sure I've done everything right. I installed all the brass mounts correctly and the cooler is in the right spot. I've tried taking out the CMOS battery and waiting a few minutes. I've also tried removing the GPU and ram to try and even get beeps, still no luck. I can't really think of anything else to do so I came here hoping any of you might be able to help.
    Thanks for reading this,
    Dyltom.

    No beeps with no RAM installed is not a good indication of system health, neither is it not getting graphics when using the onboard. Recommend to remove the system from the case and attempt to run it in a 'barebones' configuration on a piece of plain cardboard or untreated wood.

  • New Z87-G45 wont boot to windows - restart loop

    I purchased a new MSI Z87-G45 Mobo and i5 4440 and now I cant boot into windows.
    It was blue screening but now it just gets to windows load screen for a second and then restarts.
    I have an older sata HDD would that be the issue?
    I was able to install windows on a new SSD and it boots and works fine so its obviously something to do with the older HDD.

  • Z87 G45 Gaming no POST, no monitor output

    I have a Z87 G45 MB, with i7 4770K Haswell, Sapphire Radeon 7870 GPU, Corsair Vengeance 240 pin DDR3 ram, and a Corsair CX600 PSU.
    When I try to turn on the computer the fans start, all the lights light up, and the usb peripherals get power, but there is no monitor output. I've tried taking out the GPU and using onboard video and I've tried switching monitors and cords, and I've switched out RAM and tried different slots, and I've reset the CMOS. The weirdest part is that sometimes it starts up, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what's changed when it does start up.

    Val, the OP's problem is different than yours. No Post is a vague and there are still things we don't know about either of your situations.
    Please start your own thread.
    >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
    @ Alpheus125
    Is the system cycling on / off or just no display?
    If the system stays running, but there is just no display it sounds like bent cpu socket pins.
    If it is cycling there are other test we should try.

  • IMac blank screen & three beeps!

    Since I received my iMac I have had issues with it not waking up using the Apple Bluetooth keyboard or trackpad.  As I was downloading Lion yesterday the screen went blank and the iMac started beeping three times in a row, this happened twice more during the installation process.  The only way to stop it beeping was to force a shut down by holding down the power button.  I have run Techtool Pro 5 and it says there's nothing wrong with my RAM.
    Are the two incidences related or do I have a faulty Bluetooth module and a faulty graphics card or RAM?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It means that your Mac's memory is damaged > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2538?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    First, replace the memory modules. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial. It can also be replace by a reseller.
    If it doesn't work, the RAM slots are damaged, so your logic board has to be replaced. It costs more than a half of the price of your MacBook

    If it is three beeps on startup that would be a memory problem. Unplug your machine, take the RAM out and reseat it ( should have a little snap when it is in right). Then when you go to restart the machine do a SMC Reset
