Problem with the New Build :(

[jaykishankrk]

Hello Guys,

Here is the system SPecs..

CPU: Intel E6600

MB: Asus P5n32-E-SLI

RAM: Transcend PC5300 DDR2 667Mhz Ram

VGA: XFX 8600 GT

Monitor: Viewsonic 20" VG2030WM

PSU: CoolerMaster 600watts SLI ready. total 58 amps on 3 12volts rail.

Case: CM Stacker.830

and here is the problem..

i have set up everything even with proper cable mangement. and even rechecked the component installation twice before powering the PC up.

upon powering the PC i can see VGA card fan running smoothly and CPU running smoothly too, but no POST at all on the monitor. I have plugged the DVI port of monitor to first on the VGA card and even switched the Port to see if i am wrong on that.

Even after all this there was no Post to BIOS.

Debugging: - 1) Removed VGA card and installed 7950GT from my system to cross check for Video cards fault. -- No Luck still failed to boot into BIOS.
2) Removed 2 sticks of RAM and installed the ones in my system. -- still no luck, No POST to BIOS.
3) Installed both RAM and VGA Card to my system. worked very well without any hiccup..

So what you guys think.. is it the problem of MotherBoard???

I dont even have an inbuilt MObo speaker to hear Post Beeps

any suggestions are of great help to me ...

thanks in advance..

1. You posted this in the wrong forum.
2. You need a PC speaker to hear the beep codes.
3. You are whining.
4. You do not do cable management until everything's working.

Check that the board's not grounded to the case somehow. Did you use the proper stand-off pegs underneath it?

Yup. That's what I'd try next.

If that fails as well, it's probably either a bad CPU or Mobo.

Try pulling RAM and using one stick at a time.
Try another power supply, common problem, any would do.
Last resort; reset your BIOS.

Then get a RMA for your MOBO if all else fails

Well people here speak quite a lot that they think, what ever POST posted by a noob can be scrutinized as per their choice. If you dont know the solution then better be off my posts. i am not joking around like some people do here. i have told you what i have done and where i stand as far as system status is concerned. please stop whining and insulting noob people like us. if u know everything then keep it to yourself.

Sorry for all the people who responded positively. thanks for all the help. i will try everything that you people have mentioned in the POST. today is a busy day for me, i will post the results as and when i do the changes.

thanks once again for all the Positive posters.

As others have said, this is probably the wrong forum, you probably want to post in "technical support", as not everyone who reads this one does support. That said, first thing first, go buy a case speaker.

I didn't even really look for price, but first one I found, http://store.ramplus.com/casespeaker.html, is $2.50 (probably plus shipping).

Connect that up and see if there are beeps. If you don't do that, well then you need to test you CPU, RAM, video card, and power supply in a different system to see that they all work. If all those parts work, then your motherboard is most likely the problem, however, the cheap computer case speaker will tell you for certain.

This is one of the reasons why I buy cases that still include a case speaker....

If you have a multi-meter, plug in a spare 3-prong power cord (like the ones you use to connect into your power supply) into another outlet. Put your multimeter on a voltage or amperage test and touch one probe to the metal frame of the case near the motherboard (ideally the metal tray where the motherboard sits), and the other to the middle prong on the second power cord (the ground wire. DO NOT TOUCH EITHER OF THE TWO SIDE WIRES WITH THE PROBE OR YOU CAN FRY BOTH THE MULTI-METER AND YOUR COMPUTER!). Now try and turn on the computer. The multi-meter should not measure any volage/current when you do this. If it does, they you know you have a short somewhere and need to isolate it and remove the short.

Pull the motherboard out, just use the cpuwith heatsink, vid card, and ram, see if that posts outside the case.

 

[TheMold]

Make sure you are using the primary PCIE slot.

 

[Sentry2]

I'd pull it out of the case like Narse suggested and if it's still bad then you probably got a DOA motherboard. It's happened to me a lot lately.

Thank u guys for all the support, finally i found the problem, no points for guesses here. you people know that i am a noob and it is my second Gaming Rig build. It was the Stand off pegs, as mentioned by Yacoub ( certainly you have built a dozen more than me ). there was one extra Stand off peg which was grounding the board to the chasis. Thanks all of you guys who have helped me, your inputs was correct in every way which helped me minimize the problem to Stand off pegs (except for some dangling Pointer, which tried to whine that its not what it is!! ).

I have learnt one more lesson In assembling the PC today and that goes to say "Never Rub your Ass against Stand Off pegs becoz it screws u tight

Once again thanks for all the help guys.

Looks like you got lucky and solved it without the beep codes! I'm not sure how you managed to read all that emotional nonsense into an entirely factual post, but that's your problem. At least now I assume you have some idea where to post, how to prevent or diagnose similar problems, and (hopefully) not to whine when no one's helped you 20 minutes after your OP. To the extent that you learned those things, I'll accept your thanks and ignore your insults.

 

[betasub]

Re-posting / bumping after only 20minutes = rude & impatient.

 

[jaykishankrk]

Well Guys some people here misunderstood why i have posted this in the Video Forum. as i stated in the OP, LCD was not receiving any video signal upon switching the system on. so i thought it might be a video card problem and i posted it here. i think that clears most of the points with regards to wrong section posting.

Secondly why i bumped it within 20 minutes, well i was hoping somebody could take notice of the problem as everybody was very busy in HD2900 release and its pros and cons. and i didnt had the time to wait, as i was required to finish the build on Saturday.

To make things clear to you people.

i have not commented on any of the posters here directly and i expect the same from others as well. you can check my history of posting to see if i whine in every post that i make( as mentioned by one of the posters here.)

some of the people like me in AT video forums come here only for help and not to participate in a flame fest. Accusing someone of something which they are not doesnt show the forum in good light nor the accuser.

you people have to understand that some people here are noobs and treat them accordingly.

Please dont take my comments otherwise. if i have insulted anybody in the process, i will take my words back and be sorry for what i have done.

once again thanks for all the help and keep helping the ones who needs the most.
