Nothing showing on screen

Hey guys,

Just replaced the motherboard in my system to a MSI P55-GD80.

However im not getting anything show up on my monitor,I have reset the CMOS by pressing the button on the board,Also removed and put back in the Battery.

Checked everything is plugged in right,It is...checked on MSIs website to make sure my ram is compatiable..it is.

Any idea whats up?

thanks

Hi mate thanks for replying.

There is no monitor connectors on this board for intergrated graphics and my Cpu does not have a built in Gpu anyway.

Just tried on stick of ram,Still nothing.

Everythings powering up on the board,cpu fans running,gpu fans running etc but nothing on the screen and it just goes into power saving mode. :/

I hope the board isnt faulty. :/,I got it from the MM market here.

Just tried my GPU all of the 3 Pci-e Slots but still nothing showing up on screen,and yeah i did have it in the first slot closest to the CPU.

Yeah ram sticks are in both blue slots,The post LED at the bottom of the board isnt showing anything,However there is a constant red light on next to the Sata ports,Im not sure what this light is but according the the manual its HD LED..

also the cpu phase LED is showing number (8) in green.

appreciate your help!

Changed them to black slot,Still same issue.

As for connections,Yeah i have 8 pin in for CPU and the 24 + my gpu connectors i just checked they were fully in..they are.

Something always happens to me like this...Arghh.

Ive tried everything i can think off and those you suggested,So looks like this board must be a dead un. :/

Thanks for your help mate greatly appreciated.

Mother board is defiantly not dead, it was me who sold it and it was working absolutely no issue's when sold.

@Nev, your graphics card, is it flashed with a 6970 bios?

The 8 next to the cpu is how many phases it's running at, 8 is it's full on power so that's nothing to worry about.

Have you checked your mounting in your case?

Hi Ivan,Im not saying you sold me a faulty item mate ive dealt with you before and you were top notch.

as for 6950,No its compleatly stock 6950.

Cpu phase is showing 8 yeah,Its not mounted in a case atm its on the motherboards box outside the case.

Was you getting a constant red light next to the Sata ports when you had this in your system?

Might be worth rebuilding it outside of the case, to see if anything's shorting out.

Also worth checking the gpu in another PC to make sure that's still working.

Like mentioned i have it outside the case already,Not got another GPU or another PC to try my GPU in but im very confident its not an issue with my GPU.

Just tried without any sata drives installed,No go.

Il get some pics up in a bit pal but waiting for my camera software to install to my sloooow laptop.

Nevakonaza · 2 May 2012 at 16:08

Okay here we go.

Sorry its not the best quality pics,Taken with my phone.

Hi,

LG Flatron W2363D 120Hz

I have it plugged into the second one as i was trying it,usually i have it in the first connector the the left.

Nevakonaza · 2 May 2012 at 16:46

Its not the DVI ive tried both just to make sure that was not the problem,It should not matter which one you use anyway both should give output to the monitor.

Im still not having any luck with this board. :/

Do you know if the latest BIOS is installed to this board Ivan?...i see you had an i5 installed,I have an i7 860.

Looking at the photos I can't see any connection problems with the motherboard. Does the dubug LED panel (the 7 segment displays) ever say anything when you press the power-on button?

Its funny because the Debug LED panel by the OC genie button,Nothing shows on it at all..its never light up/tells you anything like in the second picture.

The led debug should be lite up, did you clear cmos with main power lead connected?

Yeah i thought it should be lit up but as you can see from the picture nothing,I did clear Cmos with power lead connected..tried several times. :/

Nevakonaza · 2 May 2012 at 17:37

I cant see how resetting the Cmos would damage the board,Btw i did not reset the cmos with it running,Only when its turned off..but the thing is that LED Debug panel has not shown anything at all even on the first run.

Nevakonaza · 2 May 2012 at 18:41

No guys,I did reset the cmos with the power lead connected BUT i turned it off at the wall before doing so,I did see that power state thing in the manual.

That Debug LED has never shown me anything,even when i first put together the system and on first switch on the LED never came on.
