Any beeps? It could be your CPU or MB if you get no beeps at all.

Welcome to the forums.

 

[lalala1239]

yea it beep when i start the computer, i reckon is the jumpers

 

[InlineFive]

Try the latest BIOS.

 

[Homerboy]

make sure the MB isnt shorting out on the case/MB tray

 

[lalala1239]

how can i get latest BIOS if i cant get pic? wont able to see BIOS on my screen

 

[WobbleWobble]

As Homerboy suggested, make sure it isn't be shorted.

Also, sometimes when you mount your motherboard in your case incorrectly, the video card won't fit all the way into the AGP slot.

 

[lalala1239]

so the srews must touch the metal bit when installin motherboard

Go here award bios beep codes and see what problem your beep indicates.

Reseat gfx card (unplug pc 1st). Check connection to back of monitor too. Check to make sure monitor plugged into working electrical outlet.

Everytime I see this post the person has tried a different monitor and it never seems to be that. BUT, have you tried it...?

 

[lalala1239]

tried that, my monitor light went green when i start it up but still no picture then few seconds later the light went stand by colour. i tried reseat AGP card but still get same problem. ive tried the jumpers by changing to diff pins for few seconds then changed it back.

Same thing happened to a friend of mine. Turned out he cracked the core on his CPU (went through 3 of them, in fact, before he managed to seat one properly). Power would come on, drives would rev up, but would not POST, and got no image on screen (CPU couldn't send signals to video card, of course).

 

[lalala1239]

i looked at my CPU but looked fine no crack at all hmmm. i think i should leave it to the experts

lalala1239....... You are getting help from some of the best in the bussiness. It's like trying to deliver a baby over the phone. You ask for help and in return we need your help as well. As you are trying out our suggestions you also need to keep us informed on what is happening. If any one of us were there in person we would have to go through the same eliminating process as you are. Only in being there it would be done a little quicker, because we have done these routines more often. Don't give up on us just because you a frustrated. The process of elimination takes time. Now if you are in a hurry, then take it to a shop and pay to have it done. I hope everything works out for you. Have a good one................

"EDIT" I forgot to add my suggestion. You don't know if you computer is POSTing but you do know it's running. Try and see if you can hook up your video board and monitor to an other computer to see if they are working. See, there is alot of things to do when you are trying to narrow down the problem. Things to check and eliminate. We're working on them.

i agree with Coherence. It sounds like a cpu issue. the last computer i worked on that powered on but got no video was a blown processor. i dropped another slot A processor (he was running a Athlon XP 2000+ and i had a spare AMD Thunderbird 850 i could use to test with) in the slot and the computer came up fine. Computers can also hang and do what your saying (depending on the board type) if the processor multiplier is set wrong for the cpu core speed, but usually it will drop to bios on the next boot with a message saying that this is the case and it needs to be fixed, so not likely this is your problem. Couple things to try, reseat the processor in the slot, ive seen ppl not put it all the way down FLUSH with the socket, or have it not locked in all the way. If the cpu is tight, reseat the ram, all sticks of you have multiples, or try one stick at a time to eliminate a possible bad stick (and pray they both didnt go, but that hardly ever happens). if you still have no luck, see if you can get duplicate parts, you have to eliminate them somehow, or as someone else suggested, try YOUR parts in another compatable PC. good luck

 

[Intelman07]

I agree with the shorting out people. I have had this happen to me, I didn't use brass screws.

 

[lalala1239]

if my CPU is blown do i get an replace or is it piece of junk waste $130, i have reseat all hardwares. but i hear no beeps at all.

[DaTT]

Does your mobo have built in video card? If so, try plugging the monitor into that, go into your BIOS and disable on-board video, then plug your monitor into the video card.

 

[Winchester]

I didnt see anyone mention RAM. You might have bad ram. If you have more than one stick of ram, take the other one out and then try it.

 

[Bleep]

Try the latest BIOS.

Pretty amazing, several replys all good except this one.

Bleep

 

[boomerang]

Please excuse my ignorance on this subject but, are the voltage requirements of this Graphics Card compatible with that motherboard?

Seems like there were some cards that would actually plug in but wouldn't work with certain chipsets. Usually an indicator light on the board to warn of this.

Like I said, I really don't know, just thought I'd bring it up.

 

[lalala1239]

i got twin corseair pc3100 256mb im sure that will work on my motherboard i have reseated them. when i start up the system i see the motherboard lights in yellow and red but im not sure what r they. hmmmmm i think is my cpu i bet i crack it or sumthin while i installing heatstink, i was rough with heatstink and pain in the bottom to put it on. is possible is the graphic card might be low voltage but im using it right now on this comp, im goin to put my current hard drive, dvd reader, gpx card onto new motherboard.
