Hi ive just finished putting together my PC and when i turn it on i cant seem to get anything on the monitor, theres no signal.

I have used both adapters that came with the GTX 480, im not too sure what i have done wrong :(
 
Oh yeah sorry

Asus P6x58d-e
corasir Ax850 psu
6Gb mem
Evga GTX 480

What do you mean by model numbers?

Did you plug in the cpu power connector? That could give the impression everything is on yet leave a blank monitor.

umm whats tha? i plugged in the cpu fans if that what you mean

Seraph said:
have you tried using the PSU gfx leads?, 850 corsair should come with the 8pin and 6 pin if memory serves
Click to expand...

yep tried that and the adapters. no luck :(

i even tried my geforce 6600 from my old pc and the fans dont even spin on that :confused:
 
Sorry to sound like such a noob but what/ where is the 4 pin? all i see in the manual is cpu fans and other fan channels. Yep got the 24 pin plugged in and the 8 pin
 
i tried again but still nothing :(. is there any reasons as to why my geforce 6600 does not work at all? im just not too sure what i am missing.

edit* Oh, no beeps that i can hear either
 
Seraph said:
no beeps, have you got a motherboard speaker plugged in? it's a tiny little piezo speaker with a two pin connector on the end

Nope, i couldnt find it, i attached all the other connectors like power switch, rest, hdd led and so forth. no speaker connector though

ok, now the fan should be spinning it its getting power and that shouldnt be a mobo issue, I think.

You are putting the extra power cables into it, and you are making sure those cables are plugged in CORRECTLY into the psu? With my corsairhx I need to use certain ports, these are coloured blue. They can also be a ^%^ to get in right.

Also if that doesnt work, does the fan on the 480 not spin up also?
Click to expand...

the gtx 480 does spin. I think i am putting the cables into the right area. the AX850 is not colour coded like the HX series, its all black.

I will try again :)
 
I hope you can all see the photos ok, first using imageshack. Please bear in mind i only have the 24 pin, 8 pin and pci-e power cables attached to the psu.

The only time I had a new build black screen me whilst spinning the fans, not posting and without beeping at me was when I had somehow managed to bend a few pins in the 775 cpu socket (I still don't know how the hell that happened) - Straightened them out carefully, replaced the cpu and all was fine.

cool i will check that out in a min.
 
ok i think i know what is wrong only that i dunno how to fix this. The dram led light is a solid red. Is that supposed to be like that?
 
i think i have tried pretty much everything, i have tried the memory in single slots, i have even pressed Memok, but it still wont post and the dram led still stays on. When i press Memok it doesnt even blink.

Is the motherboard dead?
 
ok i will give that a try. Would it help if i was able at all to find a motherboard speaker in my town? that is if any of the shops sell one.

That is shame if the motherboard is to be dead, i really wanted to play games this weekend :(

How long does the rma process normally take?

Many thanks to Andy and everyone else who have helped me :)
 
unfortunately i did not see a speaker connector. there was the asus q connector and the other connector for front usb.

I even changed the 8 pin cable to another i just hope it is all plugged into the right places.
 
i managed to get a motherboard speaker for free, i installed it, and there is no sound coming out at all :( what does that mean, the manual does not say
 
I have this particular memory, but i think knowing my luck it is not compatible because just looking through the manual its not in the table
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-092-KS

I have used single ram to go into the slots, the DRAM led still stays on. Its even there when no ram is inserted. There is no sound at all from the motherboard

I have also tried restting CMOS, i have pressed the button and have removed the battery, but still no luck.

I cannot try any other types of memory, and neither another PSU, the PSU and memory i have are both 5 years old, and they wont be any use :(
 
I checked the pins again, i even have it set up out of the case, i have made sure that the 8 and 24 pins are connected well. I will send the board back on Monday. Does anyone know how long it may take?
