Mobo / Post / Hardware problem..

AaronStewart009 · 09-25-2008, 09:32 PM

I went and got all the parts at computers plus to build a complete system 2 days ago. Everything went together well, no fitment issues etc.
Got it all together and tried to boot. It turned on, everything seemed like it was gonna go well. Til I realized there was no display present.
It seems like its getting in to post, but I can't see anything.
I figured it was the video card. So I went and bought an 8800gt(I was using my brothers 8600 before). Didn't help anything.
So numerous hours later, after testing basicly everything. Nothing works. I purchased the 2 year warranty with the mobo so I'm not real worried.
Just really like this mobo and would like to get it to work if possible.
System specs:
Asus p5n-d mobo
Intel core 2 quad 6600 2.4ghz
2x1gb kingston dual channel kit
Western digital caviar 160gig hd
PNY 8800gt 512mb
Apevia 680w psu
Thermaltake ORB heatsink
Antec gamer 900 case
I'm assuming its the mobo that's causing the problem

Any ideas would be great, but I've probably already done alot of the troubleshooting techniques. Thanks!

You need to do this:

Bench Test Your System

Thanks for the response.
I already did the bench test about 8 times, for some reason I expected different results everytime.
Pretty sure the mobo is shot, pci-e slot might be fried on it.
