Soyo KT400 DRAGON Ultra (don't get any screen)

[Da Dude]

Heya,

Specs:

Proc: AMD anthlon XP 2200+ (1,81GHZ)
Mobo: Soyo SY-KT400 DRAGON Ultra (Platinum Edition)
Old AGP card: Asus Geforce 4 ti 4600 (4x AGP, 128mb)
New AGP card: XFX GeForce 6200 (8x AGP, 256mb)
Memory: 1GB DDR 333
Power: 353W Enermax
Soundcard: Soundblaster creative audigy 2 ZS


The story:

Recently my PC broke down. Stripes came on the screen. I though the motherboard went bad. After buying a new one, it still occurs.

So i went to a friends house, installed my VGA card in his PC. Same thing happend on his screen.

Returned the motherboard, bought a new VGA card (a XFX GeForce 6200, PV-T44A-WAM8).

So i installed the AGP card. Removed the 8x AGP security thiny in the AGP slot.


Problem:

I don't get any screen. My screen first goes in sleep mode (always does in the beginning), then tries to give a screen, but simply goes back to sleep mode (twice).


Tried:

- Placing back 8x AGP security thingy
- Remove ABR
- Changed bios settings (apparture size, AGP mode, AGP 8x mode)
- Do get screen with a old PCI 3d card


Another problem:

PC won't startup since i removed ABR (even placed it back). The fans go on for a sec, then simply stops.

Motherboard LED is on when powercable is in the power supply.


PS for testing, i removed all Hardware exept:
- Power supply
- Mobo
- Cpu + cooler
- 1 HD
- GPU

TIA!

Did you plug the power supply to the card? There should be a plug on the graphics card for power. Often times, that is overlooked although, most cards have an alarm. If you are in fact plugging that in, your PSU may not have quite enough juice to power the system. I could be wrong about that one.

 

[Da Dude]

Already thought of that. But simply, the GPU doesn't have/need an extra power cord.

OK, now i got a new motherboard, install all. Power works, but still no boot at all (just a empty screen, no POST etc..).

So what remains is memory, CPU, harddisk & Powersupply.

So is it the CPU or memory?

 

[Da Dude]

Anyone know how i'm supposed to check if the CPU is still good or bad?

I heard removing the heatsink/cooler, and then check if the CPU gets warm....
