Hi guys, I am not sure if i can find any help here. I have an i7 870 with an msi gtx 460 running through an H55M-Le (ASRock) MOBO -all was fine i had a few games like Crysis 2, BF3 maxed out no probs, kept an eye on temps etc all was good.

Suddenly this morning, i powered it back on and there is no graphics output, tested hdmi tv with another work laptop and its fine - took everything out of machine and put it back it, one beep after about 5-10 seconds, a post beep which seems to indicate everything is fine, fans all spinning but ... NO OUTPUT to monitor, no bios screen nothing, no signal. Tried using on board and i think the mobo requires a GPU to be installed.

What is wrong with it do you think? Im at a loss and would really appreciate any input from anyone. :(

Thanks

(sorry if this is in the wrong thread)
 
I'm not sure, the mobo does have dvi/vga outputs built in to it but i don't think it has any built in gpu, or my chip doesnt - i did try vga output from onboard - i do get 2 short beeps and 8 long though without the GTX460 installed, i had a spare gpu which i put in and there is no error code there, could be the card i suppose, im just lost as the onboard doesnt work either!?
 
Nice one - ill try removing the battery and gpu - good shout. The mobo is new and has been working up until this morning only had it for 3 weeks, i get the post beep so all seems well the gpu is older though. I'll do as you say and check back in 5.
