Damn Damn pc's
 

hey,

i think this is the most appropriate forum

anyway i built a new pc today

specs
asus a7v600-x
amd 3200+
kingston 512 mb ddr400 ram
fx5200

well the point of this is that i booted up the pc all my cool lights came on good sign.

But nothing comes up on the monitor what could be my problem? the little led on the monitor flashes green. but no beebing noise is coming from the pc.

hmm i had that prob sadly i dont remember how i fixed it lol, are all jumpers on correct settings? if u didnt get an image cos of the graphs card ud get the sign by the monitor of no image (flashing green light or a orange-yellow light normally)

well ive tested to gc and both didnt work.

actually, try www.pcmech.com its a computer forum and my usernames speeddude2000

Retrace your hardware installs and double check all connections. Be sure that all add-ons and wires are all seated properly. (agp,pci,mem,ide) Make sure you have all jumpers set correctly. Especially pay close attention to the small wires that plug into the mobo for power led hdd led etc... If they are wrong, it will be a no go.

well thing is i just built it and it didnt display any pictures.

thats definitely not a good sign Seany! Did you double check all of your connections and hardware compatiblities?
I'm sure you did but it doesnt hurt to ask.

graphic card or ram failure.test another ram

cgl yeah i did i made sure i got the right ram and everything. Also like to ask are most gc 1.5 volt input.

well i havent bought any lately so i cant be sure about the 1.5v question. Does the mobo manual recommend any specific gc? Which one did you buy?

i used my fx 5200. well the guy i bought the mobo off has taken it in for a repair and hes doing it for free. Good because he lives local and has good comms so he keeps me up to date. everything else works normal noise from hdd and dvd writher but i think its the ram or gc.

seaney i know that only geforce 4 ti xx use more volts.ifit's notram then we got here a pretty weird situation

try testin a new ram(from a friend or so)

well he found the fault it was the graphics card.

who?what was the fault?

The graphics cards the problem my asus board only supports 1.5 volt cards but.... my card i think has a higher voltage.

5200??weird.i have 5700 and it's normal
what's your power case(or however you say it)

psu 300

but the thing is some cards have different power requirements

well after all my probs got my pc back in bits. I gave the mobo back to the guy and he gave me a refund. So ive bought a asrock mobo and it works perfectly its really cool in there and looks lovely i post a pic later but its all good and working perfectly.

Also i ditched the idea of thermal pad and i bought arctic silver 5 thermal grease. Hell lot better
