Build problem, help please!

I've just moved my rig from one case to another and installed a Vantage cooler. When I power up the system, I get no input to the monitor and no POST beep, apart from that everything seems to run fine- fans, HDD, RAM LEDs, graphics card fan, USB devices etc. What do I do?

Yep, both 6 limners and I tried reseating it.

Reset CMOS, no luck. Eveything seems to be working normally apart from the video output!

If I plug the monitor lead onto onboard video, should it automatically switch?

Gundog48 · 23 Nov 2010 at 18:40

Tried onboard with no luck. I really need some ideas, I don't know what to do now.

Havnt had time to do that, but I may try tomorrow, but I would have thought it would automatically power down if it was a short.

Must be motherboard related? Vantage shows a temp increase on CPU and everything else seems to work fine, though I have noticed that the USB provides power but no data connection. Shorly if I have fried the motherboard it wouldn't work at all though?

The thermal paste is pre applied so that's not possible. The graphics card even lights and spins up so I don't think it is that...

I'll give it a go tomorrow, but that would be the biggest coincidence in history!
