You just have a bad board.  If you just put the cpu in, connect the power supply, and hit the power button it should turn on.

This is going to sound crazy because it is so stupid but I did it on my first open case rig.
Plug everything in
Power the PSU plugged in
Find a metal piece, like Big flat screwdriver.
Touch the on off jumper pins



Not crazy at all! Thanks for the advice...

I did do this.. however, this particular mining board has a small power button on the mobo. as a last resort after hours of trying everything, I tried that too on the correct pins.

I am going to try a new gigabyte Mobo for this case and see if it works. Just awaiting it in the mail.. I think I may return the Asrock board to amazon.

Hello all.. any help would be appreciated.. I've tried everything, and am getting nowhere..

I have the mining board H110 BTC+, and have it set up with evga 1300 G2. I have followed the mining set up PDF, and installed the following:

CPU I3 7100
8 gb RAM
PSU evga 1300 G2
5 GTX 1070's on powered risers.

Problem is, the board will not boot. I ran power as directed to Molex pins.. 8 pin board ATX, 24 pin, and board SATA as illustrated in PDF.

I have swapped out CPU's.. I have changed RAM, RAM slots, I have tested PSU.. but when you hit the small power button on the MoBo, you hear a small click from the PSU, and nothing. Only sign that there is power is small yellow light blinking on ethernet cable housing.

There is no sign of a short.. or other issue. The board doesn't so anything... thoughts?

Hi, try below steps
1.Once every connection is made, cross check cpu fan, ram is connected well.
2.Avoid using riser for first time configuration. Install first GPU direct to the board. Swap to Nvidia if Amd card doesnt work after following steps.
3.Short the start pin (refer to manual). At least the fan should kick-in.
4.Optional shorting the reset cmos.


Initial configuration was a GPU in the x16 slot directly... no dice.

3. Mobo has on/off power switch and reset switch, no dice for anything, including cpu fan. Zero.. except for "click" from PSU

4. I did follow instructions and reset cmos with jumper cap... no change.

I tried different cpu.. different ram... moving ram to 2nd slot.. using 2 ram cards.. and every combination of cable and PSU, including trying two seperate brand new EVGA gold class g2 PSU's... nothing would get any reaction from the board, except "click". Thus the hair pulling!  Grin

Did you check if there is a bend pin on the cpu?

Did you connect the 8 pin cable of the motherboard? (make sure you don't try to connect a PCIE conector because is different)

CPU pins are all fine... I plugged in 8 pin with evga "cpu" marked 4 + 4 cable.. thanks!

Ensure the motherboard is placed on an appropriate surface. (Piece of wood, perhaps cardboard, even.)

Remove ALL graphics cards & risers (assuming you have a DVI-D cable so you can use the integrated graphics)
Check all power connections
Reseat/replace RAM (completed)
Reseat/replace CPU (completed)
Reseat CMOS battery (if you haven't gotten into the BIOS to make changes yet, this probably won't do anything, but humor me)

My gut says you should not need the supplementary molex power to the motherboard, especially when using powered risers. (And you definitely won't need them to test, when you have no graphics cards installed.)

If it doesn't work after the above steps, I would consider the possibility that your motherboard is faulty.

RAM is 2400 as well... but good to know!

There is only the one GPU plugged in, for the 16 slot... however, with or without that plugged in, the board will not power up. The cpu fan will not run.. nothing.

Starting to think the board is bad...

Check your RAM frequency. Is it a 2133 or 2400. 7th gen processor need 2400Mhz RAM according to manual.

put one gpu in 16x slot on board and attempt to boot with all risers disconnected, if that works its something with your risers or power to them

usually when psu tests good but just clicks when attempting to start system it means theres a short somewhere

The Asrock pdf for this board mentions those CPU's.. I will post link to the MoBo pdf.

http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/BTC/H110%20Pro%20BTC+.pdf

I wasn't sure if the board would not boot up due to a CPU not being skylake or kabylake?

I was using a 7th gen 1151 I3 7100.. I am lost past that, as I am really new to rig building. I spent weeks reading, wathcihg videos, reading this forum,e tc.. before settling on the equipment. I was very careful in construction.. but was not educated enough to diagnose this.



did the PSU powered on upon hitting power button don't be confused, there are two buttons, the other one is Reset and Power? you can usually notice this if PSU fan is spinning in normal mode, if its not spinning then it can't reach the PSU switch powering entirely your motherboard.

Being a 100 series board it might not be flashed with the Kabylake BIOS or it's just faulty. If you could find a buddy with a Skylake CPU (or really any other 1151 CPU but pref Skylake) andot it in to test it'd confirm one of the two. I find it hard to believe it's not flashed with the Kabylake BIOS though.

Thank you for the help..

No fan spinning on cpu... only thing that happens is a slight "click" from the PSU

None of the risers are GPU's are powered. Only PSU cables connected are as per instructions for this board... 2x molex 4 pins.. 1 8 pin cpu.. 1 24 pin... and 1 SATA...

PSU tested out ok.. powers up under 2 pin tester.

Only possible thing I can figure is that the motherboard instructions also say "skylake" or Kaby Lake" cpu... I was using a I3 7100. I have no idea if that is "Kaby lake" or "sky lake" compatible. Thoughts?

Are all of these hardware acquired as bnew? you have to do isolations one by one. exclude GPU's and risers for the meantime. concentrate on mboard, ram, CPU and powersupply.

Did you get any CPU fans spinning? if not, check your power or PSU connections, otherwise you have a faulty board.
