Ahhhh

Alright;

So

What's going wrong; any ideas.

Got a P5N-E board and a 8800GTX, Q6600 and corsair ram.

It starts up, and does a few beeps, but there is nothing on screen.

The keyboard lights up fine, and the harddrives spin.

I have connected both PCIe power connectors to the graphics card, is there anytihng obviously stupid im missing?

 

[ErNciLator]

It's a new setup

The 4 pin and 12 pin are connected; the cpu/ram must be booting, as the num lock key works on the mobo and the harddrives spin up.

Iv plugged both power connectors into the new graphics card but no output :S

 

[ErNciLator]

Corsair 520W

Im pretty sure it's powerful enough;

As I said it gets to the num lock point; so it's not the ram.

Do bios updates have to support graphics cards?

 

[ErNciLator]

alright

ill try that now,

do you have to remove the battery to reset it on the p5n?

(just been looking at the manual)

 

[ErNciLator]

tried didnt work.

When you guys had this error it sounded exactly the same?

and yer I flashe dit by removing battery, jumper, battery in, jumper back.

 

[ErNciLator]

alright

just removed the 8800gtx and put an old pci graphics card in.

it booted;

So its something to do with pcie slot, or how it's connected or somthing. (not the memory)

the bios is 401 - reckon upgrading to next version (latesT) will have any effect? Doubtful different bios support different graphics cards?
