Hello Everyone,
I'm a newbie here,
so bear with me.
Recently put together a fx 53/6800gt/a8n system.
BUT, it just won't work...
mostly, I get a scrambled screen full of multi-colored
lines... this is random. Sometimes the colors change,
sometimes it stays on the screen it first shows, and
freezes (I guess), sometimes it changes to a bright lined
screen, and beeps 6 times... sometimes it shows the
actual bios screen... sometimes it doesn't screw up
after I hit delete. When I do get into bios, (the rare
times I have) it recognizes the ram, cpu, shows a 29c
temp cpu (sweet), but it doesn't recognize my O/S
HDD, but it does rec. the slave one. When I tried replacing
the controller cable, it stopped working again.
I've searched and searched, but it seems I'm the only
one who's had this happen. Now, I *think* it is the damned
MoBo, but I can't figure out what makes this so damned random.
Please help?
I have a OCZ Modstream 520 psu, yes I have it hooked to the power
first thing I did. The card is definately in properly. Sure, it's the first pci-e
card I've ever had, but I've reseated it more times than I care to think
about. And what pins are you talking about?molex? They're good as far
as I know. I had some success getting into the bios. Again, no dice.
Although once it showed my slave as having more gb (as if it added
the master to the slave). I actually hooked the master back to my old
comp, worked instantly. Why are mobo's getting worse anyways?
Shouldn't they be getting better? Any other ideas guys?
PS, it is a 40 gig maxtor hdd(the master). Does a8n dislike smaller
hdds? Also, there is no table for POST beeps in the manual, even
though it says there is one.
