need urgent help

1. Have a spare monitor cable?, if your monitor has VGA & DVI inputs try both.(Use a DVI to VGA adaptor)

2. If you can, try another monitor, or tv output. I think I have that video card and it has a DVI to HDMI adaptor in the box (use the yellow port)

3. Do you need to manually select input on your monitor?

A quick google shows you don't have on-board graphics on your motherboard, so I wouldn't take out your graphics card, but do check the power connectors are in OK (iirc it will scream if they're not)

Do you have a speaker attached to the motherboard, either the case speaker or the little one that comes with the board? if you don't you might be getting diagnostic beeps, just not hearing them.

If you've been fiddling around adding memory etc, yo may have dislodged a power cable.

After that you're into swapping out bits, graphics card/memory/PSU which is a pain if you dont have spares to hand.
 
I had dual monitor set up, both of them I've checked with my laptop, both work just fine. I a friend here in London who could either lend me a GPU or anything. =(
 
I'd try pulling the ram and booting on a single stick in different sockets, if you aren't getting any beeps on post, you probably don't have a speaker/beeper.

I have a couple of asus boards and they always beep once on post so you could be missing a ram error, also if it's the last thing you changed it's a good place to start

Even if it's not that it can't do any harm.
 
can this happen because the CPU fan was installed the wrong way? I remember my friend rut it the other way around... I've asked him if that is ok, since he made a mistake according to the diagram, but he said it doesn't matter. But I figure the airflow is different. I was also advised to start pulling out components to see what is wrong. Should I do it? If yes what should I pull out first?
 
Check the power connectors to the Graphics Card... I had a similar issue with an old board where 1 of the power connecters wasn't in fully and come 'lose'.. Fan on gpu powered up but no screen display..

Also check your monitor cable.. (if you have a spare)..
 
How is your CPU fan installed the wrong way, just the direction it blows in? it might affect your cooling, but it shouldn't stop it posting, you'd at least get a cpu fan or overheat error.

Just have a look at the headers on the motherboard and see if there is a speaker attached, if there isn't you get no beeps, you should get a single beep for a successful post on most asus boards. Other than that there are several beep codes you can google.

Pulling components is always a pain, I'd start with ram, try a single stick in each ram socket, then try another stick in each socket if you have no luck. disconnect the hard drives/dvd as you can worry about that once you get it to post, and you want bare minimum plugged into your PSU, as it could be failing.

You could do with a spare graphics card, as you're not getting any output, but since you don't have one , you may as well start here.

You could also try resetting the bios/cmos, this is from the Asus Forum;

Clear CMOS (RTC RAM):
* Remove the CMOS battery.
* Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on
pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.
* Reinstall CMOS battery.
* Plug in the PSU power cord and turn ON the computer.

Without spare parts you're pretty limited in what you can do.

And really check the monitor cable/pins, because you'll kick yourself if it's that.
 
By the looks of the cables they are fine... I mean how the pins can be damaged while being plugged into the PC? It just suddenly stopped showing the image while working.

So the beep should come out of the speaker... well the speaker is plugged into the green input and there is no beep. So next I should unplug CD/DVD, SSD, and HDD? And GPU? right?

If everything is running how can PSU be failing? I mean it sounds like it is starting up but nothing is showing.
 
Im pretty sure your motherboard should beep twice if everything is working ok .. mine does ... a good place to start if somthing goes wrong is to clear the cmos it doesnt require much effort just pop out the battery on your motherboard and short out the cmos jumper . This will reset the motherboard voltages timing and power profile. You could also ground your PSU and test the voltage's are o.k .
 
T_T Guys I'm a newbie in Hardware building.... I was shaking when I was upgrading it and all I did was plugged in new Ram and SSD... I donno where is what on the motherboard T_T... I'm totally useless here... is there a video tutorial or smth?
 
The beep comes out of either the case speaker or a motherboard speaker.

Where the power switch, HDD activity light, reset switch etc connect to the motherboard there is also a connection for the speaker, not the sound output on the back of the motherboard or sound card.

If you don't have a spare GPU to put in there isn't much point in taking yours out.

Just because your fans are spinning up, it doesn't mean the PSU is outputting enough power to start the machine up, failing PSUs account for a lot of failures, how old is yours?

Do you have 2 cables direct from the PSU to the GPU or are you using a molex splitter to convert a cable? if so also check that.

It might be worth reading through the trouble shooting FAQ here;

well, I've unplugged the DVD, HDD and SSD, and unplugged GPU there was no beep, no system beep, no beep through the speaker... I take it this is odd right?
