Problem with no Signal from PC can some one point me in the right direction

[u05rdh]

Hi

I have the following system which has run fine since I built it with no problems at all. It's not really been used for anything that would really test it just internet and e-mail.

When I switched it on the other day I got no life from my monitor the green light came on for like a second then went orange again. I though strait away graphics card but I tried a friends one which is a 8500GT PCI-E but still no life. I'm assuming its compatable with my mother board. I also hooked the system up to my TV but still no life.

Could someone maybe help me with what to try next. I don't have any spare lying around and don't really want to go buying more stuff I don't need.

Thanks for any help

On the board there a LCD is there any codes comming up!
Do all the hd's start and the gpu fan.
Only thing I can suggest is the usual of trying a CMOS reset, remove the memory bar 1 stick and see what happens, then try the other stick of ram.

Have the same problems atm

It's not my graphics at fault, someone else had the same issue and said their PSU wasn't at fault.

Sent their mobo to ocuk and they found a problem with it, i fear its the same here And maybe for you

yeah i would say reset bios and remove ram, extra hds, lights, anything which uses power..

your mobo doeesnt have a built in vga does it? if it does. make sure its not set to primary in bios (but i dont think it does)
