I just installed my dangerden watercooling system.... I am cooling the cpu and my video card (Radeon 8500). I have a KR7A Raid motherboard. I turn it on, and everything seems to be working, but I am not getting a picture on the monitor... I tried plugging it into my TV, no luck there either. I plugged in my PC speakers to hear the beeps, but that didn't work either... didn't make a sound. PLEASE help, thankyou

CPU Ram, or toaly toased Mobo. those are the only things that give no beep codes. Make sure your Ram is fully seated.

You can always pour water on it if it catches fire, then RMA the CPU because AMD chips should not burst into flame :)

Serously tho, check the ram. If possabel, try another CPU.

You might have the no fan shut off feature enabled or have an older bios where disabling it isn't a choice. Either way you will need to plug a fan in on the CPU fan header (the one closest to the memory slot) to get it to turn on. I forgot that feature when I installed my watercooler the first time I turned it on. After a few moments of panic and much looking around, I noticed I had nothing plugged into the header and imagined that might be the problem. I plugged my heatsinks fan in for a moment to go to bios and disable it. I run one of my case fans on that header now just to be sure it doesn't become a problem if I clear CMOS or upgrade my bios (which means clearing CMOS before you do anyway).

Hope this is the problem or it turns out to be an easy one to fix.........:)
