Freezer26 Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 So yea after a few months of my Thermaltake w0019 butterfly, I decided to buy an Antec PSU, the reccommended one in the PSU handbook or whatnot. Got it from the egg of course about 3 days early, awesome I thought. Set everything to defaults in BIOS with a bump of 2.7VDIMM so I know it would boot. Did the exchange, got everything together, turned it on and am getting 4, 3, 2 and thats it, no video, no nothing, HD light stays on and thats it. So WTF? Go from a non-spec PSU to a spec PSU and whaddya know. Did the search and just info on the 4LED's of death scenario. Can someone tell me what the definition is of 2 LED's? What I've done: Pulled everything but whats needed, cleared CMOS about a dozen times. I am currently at my managers office trying to figure this out. No Backup yet. That included pulling the battery, you name it I've tried it, but maybe not. Any info would be sweet!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezer26 Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 So ok, after some panic searching I found that maybe its some VGA troubles. Can't see whay or how, never did anything that I know of to disturb anything, the light on my Leadtek comes on. What I did notice is that when I turn the PSU switch to the on position the two yellow lights come on on the board, after the turn on and the frustration of the "I'm not gonna go past 2 LED's", situation, shut off and the one by the memory goes off. Whereas before I switched PSU's it didn't. Not sure if this means anything but it's here. I'ma gonna go try EXRodie's CMOS clear thing, I'll be back. EDIT: I tried moving PCI-X to other slot, changed out cords(antec sent me 2) and tried the clear CMOS thing still won't detect VGA. Short of just throwing the TT back in, not sure what to do, if that even works (next step). Anyone have any ideas?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loc.o Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Does that card has a pci-x conn on it to feed it? If so i would try another lead on the PSU to give the card its power, or try old psu (jumpstart) on it. [edit] read you tried 2 leads. Try the TT just for VGA and some fans. All four conns on board on psu? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Here is the way to read the Diagnostic LEDs. 4 LEDs on = Power applied 3 LEDs on = CPU has been detected OK 2 LEDs on = RAM has been detected OK 1 LED on = VGA has been detected OK 0 LEDs on = System has booted to the Operating System. As long as you are in the BIOS including running memtest from the BIOS option, there will be one LED on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
