Now I'm not new to PCs or anything like that, been using them for years so I have tried quite a lot of fixes.
About a month ago I had a problem with my computer where the video would not output at all, I set it down to the computer being years old and just dying from 24/7 use.
I decided to build a new PC (specs will be below) and use some old components from my previous desktop.
I have come into the same problem with this new PC build, and it is very frustrating.
There is absolutely no video outputting to either of my monitors. I know it is not the monitors, as I have used them with my laptop while waiting to do my new build. It is not the CPU, Motherboard, PSU, or Graphics card as they all work fine (and I have even tried a different graphics card to no prevail.)
I took it down to it being a problem with my RAM. I bought another identical set of the ram, tried it in the system and still no luck. I am on the brink of losing it as I just spend $750 AUD on these parts put together, and I have spend thousands of dollars on steam, all of which will become useless if I cant get this working. My last case scenario is going to an IT company which would take out another fortnight's wages.
I have tried clearing the CMOS, checked the Connections are all properly inserted, tried different solutions for the (new) RAM modules in the DIMM slots (a1,b1/a2,b2).
Please help as this took a lot of hours of working for me to save up to, and without a fix it will just go to waste as soon enough my job contract will be terminated. And before you say it, the company I bought these from won't accept returns unless they are faulty products, I cant just return a product if I "don't need it" or "doesn't work for me personally".
Thanks.
Sorry for the long post.
