Thinking of replacing my wd live with htpc

Well Cpu turned up but have now got a problem.

With a cpu and mem the board powers up but there is no display to monitor! Am not sure what the problem is. Gonna try my 9650 in there to see what is going on to see if it works or not, other thought is to power the board with a differnt power suply to check if the antec is upto scratch or not.

Matt

HI Matt, your email said the board wouldn't power up with the cpu? Has something changed? Hope you get things going anyway
 
Hi,

The board powers up, i.e. cpu fan spins but no visual output to screen, have just tried my enermax PSU and it does the same, power to the board but no display.

After tea am going to try cpu in my main computer and vice versa.

Looking like it could be the board, as I have tried CPU in my main rig and it boots ok, and my Q9650 doesn't post do anything at all in the zotac board, well other than spin the cpu fan up.

Anyone got any ideas?

Tried all output connectors but get nothing, tried a gcard and get nothing.

Tried the geil mem, single stick and dual also some OCZ single stick, but still nothing.

Can't do the bios update as I cannot get the board to post, tried E8400 and Q9650 - don't have any other cpu's.

Thanks for all your help, have started an rma.

Only thought is, could the board require the bios update? Just wondering if it goes back for testing and they test with a low end chip and it boots ok they will return it saying there isn't a problem.

Well still waiting for the RMA to come through - see this is what happens when you don't buy MB from overclockers UK!

Had an email from their tech support dept stating they were rather busy at the moment though.

Oh well looks like I may get this built just in time for christmas next year. Lol

Depends on budget and uses tbh. I personally use a Logitech diNovo Edge and Performance MX. Can highly recommend them both and use them for gaming also.
 
The logitech looks excellant but a bit too rich for me.

Built the Pc up today and dropped Os onto it, struggling a bit holding the temp down as it shot up to around 60 before I removed the case top - this was without the side fans running.
Am going to have a play to see how having the side fans on affect the temperature, also wondering if a 120mm fan can fit above the cpu to add extra cooling?

Does anyone know anyone who could fit a couple of fans with the tri cooler controller off of the antec tri cool fans?

regards,

Matt
