I don't get any beeps, I also tried 2 boot only with power 2 board + processor + ram no HD no use any idea where am I going wrong? btw I have 2 1GB DDR2 sticks... and have a Acer flat panel that uses a VGA connection
Sounds like a graphics card problem. Are you connecting your screen via a onboard VGA or a card? If its a card and its using up a PCI-e slot, try switching the card to another slot. It could be that your PCI-e slot is faulty.
i dont have a gfx card m using the onboard and connecting the screen to to the on onboard VGA slot...
Hm, then it could be the cable connecting your monitor and your card. It could also be your onboard is faulty. In the mean time, i would try and borrow a cable and a GFX card from a friend and try them on your computer. If you do and there is still a problem, try resetting your CMOS settings by taking out the little 3V battery on your motherboard.
