My system wont Boot, I see no video output

gcccomputo · 15-08-2008, 03:44 PM

Hello, I have a PC that wont display the boot screen on the monitor, it halts on boot. I can see nothing..!
Using a POST card, I see that the PC stops at error code 28.

The System has:
INTEL Desktop Board D975XBX2
INTEL Core2Duo E6550 (4MB L2 Cahce and 1333Mhz FSB)
2G Kingston Memory (KVR800D2N5K2/2G)
Biostar PCI Express GeForce Series 7200GS 256MB DDR2 (VP7202GL26)
500W Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 40G SATA Hard Drive

I also tried using another video card but I had the same result, this other card is

ZOGIS (ZO73GT-E) NVidia GeForce 7300GT PCI Express

If anyone has some info of how to get this board correctly configurated please help me...

Thanks

Do you get the fans spinning? Does it all power on?

Hello, I just changed the RAM for another PAIR of Kingston KVR800D2N5K2/2G that were working on another PC; also tried the firs pairs of memory on that PC (The one working) and the worked well.

I asked for help to INTEL Tech support and they sendme some PDF in were I find that the POST Error Code 28 (Wich my system seems to halt) is a Memory Test.

But why??? I have tested 2 diferent pairs of Memory that work on a diferen mother board???

Thanks!!

Fans Working... I also tested the Power Supply and it was ok (All green on the tester!!)

Might be a bad motherboard then if it's giving you a memory test error when you know that the memory is good.

i am posting from the same pC which gave me the problem as u had and i just changed the ram and the pc got working without any problem. i think that my 1 gig ram was pretty sucky

It is unlikely to be the MBord as you mostly hear a ban or smoke or something it it has blown out.

Hello,
Finally I received a mail from INTEL telling me that the Procesor was incompatible with the board. They send me a URL that helps you find all the procesors that are compatible with the each board.
Hope this is useful to the comunity....

Well the problem was the procesor, I changed it and now everything works great!
