Repost: No monitor signal

Q

I posted this in "general hardware" earlier by accident:


Someone actually responded and told me to take out the RAM and see if the mobo gives the "no RAM detected" sound. I got nothing, so I assume that my mobo is fried. If no one disputes this conclusion, then I guess I'll post in the other categories for a new mobo and case 😀.

Here's the situation:

When the computer turns on, the monitor doesn't do anything. The monitor works fine, and I've swapped video cards to test that possibility.

My guess is that the motherboard is dead. Apparently, the computer started getting BIOS errors at start up (blue screen as the first thing he sees) several months ago. However, it happened 1/2 times, so my brother lived through it by just restarting (since he leaves the computer on normally anyways). I did not get to read it (because I can't now), but I assume that it also relates to the motherboard performance.

Lastly, the computer was extremely dusty when I took it out to clean and test it.

What do you all think?

Thanks,
qpwoeir


extra info:
I forgot the name of the mobo, but I can find it if you need it. It's a socket 939 MSI model if you need a simple reference. It has a tiny fan on it that stopped working, but it stopped working over a year ago I think (so I do not believe it would be relevant).
Everything else is functioning fine. The only weird thing is this sound that I cannot locate. It seems like it might be the hard drive skipping, but even that wouldn't stop something from appearing on the monitor.
 
Your motherboard is probally dead, ive had the same problem before a couple time on socket a machines. Im not sure that dust would really be problem though. Im pretty much sure that the most dust could do would be jamming a fan.
 
It would be helpful if you got the actual model number. I wouldn't be so quick to sign this death warrant. Let's get more info. And any chance the sound is coming from the pc speaker?

Hope!
Model: MSI K8N Neo4 (normal)

I have tested it hooked up to a PC speaker and without any line out (to see if the mobo gives any sound from its built-in speaker). I did not hear anything. Any better or other ways to test?

Thanks.
 
I meant the sound you were hearing possibly coming from the small built-in computer case speaker. Anyway, I'll do some searchin' around about this particular model and see what I come up with.
 
Can you double check on the make/model number? There are many different flavors of the K8N Neo, like 2.0, Platinum, SLI, etc. So, please try to find the EXACT model we're dealing with.
