the jumper for the cmos? there is no jumper connected, just two pins sticking out?

stulid · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:43

You got the manual for board?

it says to clear cmos, place a jumper cap on the two pins ......or use a metal object to touch the two for a few seconds

stulid · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:46

What's that say about clearing cmos/pins

danewesley · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:48

either remove battery for 1 minute or use jumper/metal object to connect two pins for a few seconds, i have tried both of these things now.

stulid · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:49

Ignore this then

danewesley · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:50

it only has two pins =/

danewesley · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:52

here

stulid · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:53

Ignore this too

danewesley · 29 Jan 2010 at 16:57

they still stock this board on ocuk, do you think it might be compatability with the gt220?

i guess i will buy a different board, but this was meant to be a cheap project to learn with lol, i was eventually going to build a high end amd pc.

Got access to another pc for part swapping

im in a pickle now, i didnt want to spend much on this as it is nvidia chipset and the other system i want to build will be using ati 5770 so anything i buy for this will be unusable on my next build.

stulid · 29 Jan 2010 at 17:09

I ammended my above post, where you live? Someone close by might be able to test bits for you,

You tried a normal pc monitor?

danewesley · 29 Jan 2010 at 17:12

ive tried two different tvs, dont have a normal monitor, i think my gran has a crt one, i might have a look tomorrow. i live in southport in the north west.

stulid · 29 Jan 2010 at 17:16

I have this strange feeling you can't use a TV before you have installed windows and graphics drivers to recognise the display. Someone may prove me wrong!

danewesley · 29 Jan 2010 at 17:19

well if thats true, i will try tomorrow, im on a night shift tonight but my cousin has a crt monitor so i think i can get it tomorrow.

buttkinz · 29 Jan 2010 at 17:29

long shot but have you connected the reset wires to reset on the board? in the past iv connected a power or hdd led to the reset pins and it wont boot

buttkinz · 29 Jan 2010 at 17:31

also every card iv used will output to the television at bios, although iv not owned a gt220 so i could be wrong
