    "No Signal" after installing an 8800 GT OC into a Dell Inspiron 530

    Another issue: As I mentioned (I think?) he cannot turn off his computer using the power button on the front. However, the problem is that he also cannot turn it on using the power button on the front. As soon as he toggles the switch on the back of the computer from "Off" to "On", the...

    "No Signal" after installing an 8800 GT OC into a Dell Inspiron 530

    Turns out he described it to me wrong: It was: CMOS OXX 123 PWD OXX 123 Which matches what the documentation says it should be normally. To be safe, we followed the guidelines to reset the CMOS (changing the CMOS jumper from 2-3 to 1-2 for 5 seconds and then back to 2-3) I'm...

    Thank you, I will ask him to double check how he has it installed and find out if that is the case, it sounds like a good possibility.

    "No Signal" after installing an 8800 GT OC into a Dell Inspiron 530

    From how he has described it to me, both 12 & 13 are actually columns of 4 pins each (pic shows what looks like 3). If we call the power supply the "top" end of the computer, then jumpers 12 & 13 were both placed at the "top" end of their respective 4-prong row. i.e. 12 (X=jumper, O=unused...

    "No Signal" after installing an 8800 GT OC into a Dell Inspiron 530

    I'm assuming the power supply is correctly hooked up, as the CPU & graphics card fans come on as does the disk drive. If we take the PSU to get tested for being defective, what is it we need to ask them to test for? I'd like to make sure it gets done right, there aren't many people to choose...

    12 & 13, since replaced in what we believe to be the correct position.

    "No Signal" after installing an 8800 GT OC into a Dell Inspiron 530

    At the moment even with the new graphics card removed & the monitor hooked up to the intergrated graphics card, we still get "no signal/ color test". I'll ask him to try it again and see if he even gets a POST beep when the new graphics card is removed, he does not get a POST beep when it is...

    "No Signal" after installing an 8800 GT OC into a Dell Inspiron 530

    I should mention that, before installing the new power supply & graphics card the system did boot & load windows properly just using the intergrated graphics.

    "No Signal" after installing an 8800 GT OC into a Dell Inspiron 530

    Hello all, Having a bit of a technical problem. Actually, to add to the complexity it isn't even me who's having it, it's my brother. Of course with his computer out of commission he can't browse the forums so I thought I'd post on his behalf. He bought a brand-new Dell Inspiron 530, and...
