No it says 'analogue then digital then analogue and digital' like flashing on and off then it goes back to the 'check signal cable'

dead on arrival i assume, try another graphics card if possible

LiamD · 29 Dec 2008 at 21:36

ive tried another still the same problem

what other things would suggest its a mobo problem becuase it turns on and the fans power up including the fan on the processor

LiamD · 29 Dec 2008 at 22:25

Ok the keyboard and mouse and speakers dont light up does this confirm the mobo is the problem becuase ive changed the gfx card for another and still nothing.

thanks
