Well, I just built my new gaming PC (Yay!)
BUT

When the computer boots, I get no picture on the monitor (Tried a 50" HDMI Tv, 24" DVI screen, And a hard glass monitor, None have worked), And I dunno why, Any ideas?

Specs are as follows:

KFA2 White PCB GTX 560
Asus P8P67 LE Mobo
Corsair GX 650 PSU
G Skill ripjaws X 4 Gig RAM (2x2 Gig)
I5 2400

Is the monitor cable fitted correctly? Are you sure it's connected to the video card and not onboard video?

Is the video card both fitted correctly, and connected properly (both PCI-E 6 pin power connectors).

Its plugged into the GPU, And it has a 6+2 and a 6 pin (Via a 2x 4 pin molex -> 6 pin PCI that came in the box) connected to it

try removing the graphics card completely, and running the computer with the on board graphics if its not working with the graphics card.

CatWarrior · 23 Mar 2011 at 21:54

Theres nowhere to plug in the monitor without the GPU in though >_>
And I've tried with or without the PSU 6 pin/2x4pin Molex, And Ive taken it out and put it back in

stupid me forgot it didnt come with on board graphics :rolleyes:

Is the graphics card installed in the top-most full-size PCI-E slot?

Also, is your PSU the Corsair TX 650 or the Coolermaster GX 650W?

Both the coolermaster and corsair have two 6+2 PCIE power connections, so you shouldn't need to use molex adapter if you are using this PSU.

CatWarrior · 23 Mar 2011 at 22:02

Its the PCI slot closest to the CPU, And its the coolermaster

And yeah, The 8 pin is in the slot to the top left of the CPU

cmndr_andi · 23 Mar 2011 at 22:05

Is the 8pin motherboard/CPU power connection inserted into the motherboard from the PSU? The socket is at the top left of the board between the CPU socket and the I/O ports.

CatWarrior · 23 Mar 2011 at 22:09

Yeah, It is

cmndr_andi · 23 Mar 2011 at 22:10

Have you tried removing the molex adapter cable connected to the GPU and replacing it with the PCI-E power cable direct from the PSU?

CatWarrior · 23 Mar 2011 at 22:11

Yeah, I haz tried both 3:

Ok, good stuff. Just gotta run through a few quick Qs to hopefully home in on the issue:

Just to confirm, you did build the motherboard onto stand-offs, not directly onto the case side?

is the CPU cooler fan plugged into the CPU fan power slot on the motherboard?

Is the CPU cooler fitted securely?

Do you have a spare PCIe or PCI graphics card (or one you can quickly borrow)to hand with which you can use to test out in this system?

Caffrey · 23 Mar 2011 at 22:22

Perhaps try the RAM in a different slot or with different RAM.

It appears I didnt build it onto the standoffs D:
Its the whole thing Farked then? :mad:

OOOOOO, nightmare

The simple answer is I don't know (really depends what has been shorted).

You will need to rebuilt it on the stand-offs and see if it works OK.

Best of luck.

Aww >_<
I'll try, Hope this works, If it hasnt then thats all the money I had in my bank gone 3:

Lemin · 24 Mar 2011 at 15:44

Only put in stand-offs that correspond to your mobo holes, no more.

CatWarrior · 24 Mar 2011 at 16:31

Done.
WE HAVE PROGRESS!
It isn't much, But I heard 2 beeps when I switched on (I hadnt got that before, Which means I have something to go off nao) >_>
