Foramorm Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Over the last two days, I've been installing a W/C setup on my computer. I just finished about an hour ago, plugged it in, everything turned on fine. Then I went to plug in the monitor, but I'm getting a "no signal" message from the monitor. I'm afraid I may have messed up the video card or something. Anyone have any suggestions on how to figure out what is going on?

Ste Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Tried clearing the CMOS? Make sure all water blocks are secured tightly. Try booting with only CPU, RAM and Video card attached. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo55 Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Cables all plugged in? vid card properly attached? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foramorm Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Yeah, everything is plugged in and everything is attached fine. I made sure the blocks were down tightly, and they're fine too. I'm about to try and boot with on VGA, CPU and RAM. I can't find a CMOS jumper on my mobo, can I just take the battery out for a while to clear it? How long will it need to be out.

It could also be a grounding issue: Having Water cooling doesn't exactly make "taking your motherboard out" Easy. So you can try adding or taking out screws that hold the motherboard down.

Foramorm Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 I checked and made sure, all risers have screws going in to them. I verified by checking the back of the mobo tray. I'm in the process of clearing CMOS right now, I'll try blowing out the PCI-E socket if that doesn't work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen motherboards at my school that wouldn't POST if a certain screw was out.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
