Hi,
I have recently bought the parts for, and put together my first computer build after taking some time to learn the theory behind it all but when I turned it on for the first time, everything powered on except the screen.
The screen stays blank with "no input signal" whilst everything else seems to be running fine. The RAM I have is 2gb of dual channel Corsair XMS2 C5, timings are 5-5-5-12 and the motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-N650SLI-DS4.
I haven't been able to get past to the BIOS to check anything out to see if it could be anything else because on the couple of occasions where the screen did show a picture, it froze up on load whenever I tried to enter the BIOS or Boot Menu. Another point to add is that the screen has only ever turned on when I pressed buttons on the keyboard to try and get into BIOS but as soon as anything shows up, it freezes.
I know its not the screen because I have tried it on 3 different screens and still nothing (plus it has only actually shown a picture - even with keyboard pressing - on a CRT). The reason I think it could be Motherboard is that it seems to be the only thing (other than RAM - mentioned below) that I don't know is working for sure and it controls everything in one way or another.
I also thought that it could be a RAM problem because I have seen others with a similar problem that have found the RAM to be the culprit so I have also put this post in the RAM section.
Please give comments on your own views, I hope this can be sorted.
