Jaggi Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I have brought a load of stuff and build a pc from scratch, spec are in my sig. I've installed everything and tried booting it up but i get no signal to monitor it just flashes on and off. I've tried another monitor so i've ruled that out. However i have 4 LED lights on the motherboard. I think they should all be off if everything is fine, i'm thinking it doesn't do a cpu check ok so it might be the cpu. Everything in brand spanking new from good well known companies. I've tried resetting the cmos, stripped it down to its barebones and running that, check cpu for bend pins (none), checked ram, tried using one instead of two, reseated gfx card. Any help would be great. Aside from the 4 red led light i got a amber one by the bottom pci slot and a amber one by the top ram slot.

red930 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Don't tell me you're using the PSU that came with that TT case? What's the Specs on that PSU? Have you tried running one memory stick at a time in the orange slot furthest to the cpu socket yet? Did you try reading the sticky's on how to go about your first build and boot from the forum here? Let me know... Note:What about connecting all four power connectors to your board, have you done that? Yes...4 power connectors not 2....

Jaggi Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Course not brought a thermaltake purepower 680w power supply. I've hooked up 4 power supply's in tho the motherboard now and its roaring away, not luck tho still the same. I'll try and track down that thread you mentioned (link would be great ). Also i tried the ram but still the same, it doesn't get past the 4 leds and second one being to do with cpu was wondering if its cpu related.

red930 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Have you done any adjustments towards your memory timings at all before installing Windows? Just go to "AMD OVERCLOCKING" and look at the top for the STICKY'S in red. I hope this helps man, good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanDude05 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Youve tried one stick of ram, the cpu and vgu havent you? Tried clearing the cmos and starting again? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Oh yeah, .! Have you tried your GT in the other PCI-E slot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggi Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 i tried a bare test just now, took the mobo out the case and tryed running it with just ram, cpu. Nothing changed, so that ruled out the case grounding. Possible i have myself a bad motherboard? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
