Having a nightmare this PC just about ready to send back and Never think about PCs again!

anyone got any ideas as to what error 26 is on the motherboard?

the system seems to turn on and fans start etc...everything is working yet no feed is going to the monitor. NIGHTMARE.

the LED screen on the mother board flashed 69 then onto 26?

any hints?

Cheers :confused:

Think those cards require two power cables plugged in (two 6-pin power connectors), got them both plugged in?

dog2_99 · 13 Oct 2009 at 16:48

yep two 6pins plugged in

What power supply have you got?

Stick 1 stick of ram in and see if it will boot.

If it won't boot with one stick of ram in then try posting in the motherboard section of these forums, someone with the same board should be able to help you more then I can.
