I ordered loads of new pc parts and assembled them today into my case. Everything works fine, all the fans spin, the motherboard light comes on. However, my monitor does not work, i just swapped monitors from my other computer so i know that theres nothing wrong with the monitor. When i put the monitor cable into the slot the monitor does register a connection (the check signal sign dissapears), however nothing comes up on the display. HARD DRIVE 1TB Western Digital WD10E RAM 1GB DDR2, will upgrade to 4gb soon. MOBO Asus P5Q SE Motherboard S775 Intel P45 ATX SATA Gigabit LAN PROCESSOR Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Socket 775 GPU 896MB Gainward GTX 260 Golden Sample 55nm, 2200MHz GDDR3, GPU 625 MHz, Shader 1242 MHz, 216 Cores PSU Corsair Corsair HX 450W Power Supply Ive tried a PCIE GPU (new one,) still no display. I tried a PCI card from my old build which i know works perfectly and still no display. Im thinking the motherboard might be faulty as i dont get any beeps on startup. even if i remove the RAM completly. What do you think? Also could you recommend me another good MOBO ?
have you got a speaker connected to your motherboards control panel? If you've got a speaker connected and you get no beeps when ram is not installed or gpu, sound like the bios is at fault. try checking your motherboard to see if the cmos is set to clear. try swopping your ram out. you've already ruled out your gpu, so only things left to rule out are ram, psu, cpu, and in some cases if you aint got your cpu fan connected that can cause issues.
