No VGA

[Kindros]

Guys having trouble getting a VGA signal from my newly assembled computer. using an XFX 7800GTX 256mb.

tried the card in both PCI slots, and both outputs on the card, but nothing. Tried with a single stick of ram in DIMM 1 but still nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

From memory the BIOS is 623, well thats what i asked the company who i bought it off to flash it to.

 

and also those lights at the bottom of the board, they stop on the last light if that helps anymore.

Ok, first try clearing cmos. See if you can post with just one stick in dimm slot 2. (Orange slot closest to edge of motherboard)

Also look in my signature for link to 4 power connections

i should have the XFX 7800GTX tomorrow, and I can match your system piece for piece except that Antec power supply (and i dont have Seagate hdd's)

Thanks StephenC so much. Do you think it would be ok throwing in my other stick of ram before Windows install, or wait till after?

 

Also, which slot, the other orange, or keep them both in the yellow slots?

Use this as your guide....

i use the 7/04-2 bios and yellow slots for every memory type (also I've tested the 6/23-2 BIOS and yellow slots with every memory/cpu I have)

 

you can use orange, but most of us prefer yellow i think with the -2 bios versions

 

please update your sig to reflect your current bios version

 

i would put both sticks in before loading windows (use the BIOS's built-in memtest to let it run about an hour)

 

 

here are my stock speed settings for your memory:

I would keep them in the orange slots for now. Just follow the guide and you will do fine.

Sorry to drag this back up, but Angry if i use those settings, whihc dont seem to be my boards default, will it run any better? Are they overclocking the components in anyway, or will they just make things run more stable?
