[SOLVED] no display on my moniter

byndthegrv · 07-09-2009, 05:11 PM

Just got new parts for my pc today.

Here are the specs:

MOBO: Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo e2180
VGA: Sapphire ATi Radeon x1650 Pro 512mb AGP
RAM: 2GB 667 mhz Kingston
PSU: Coolmax 550watt

I checked the plugs and I believe they are in there correct spots.

Here is the problem, once I finished putting it all together and turned on the computer I get no display on my moniter. I let the pc sit there for a couple of minutes and still nothing happened. I tried turning it off and on a couple of times and still no luck. Also another problem is the power switch on my tower turns on automatically without me pressing it.

Do you have the auxiliary power hooked to the video card?
24 pin main and 4 pin CPU power plugs to the motherboard?
Try disconnecting the front panel wiring and momentarily jump the 2 power on pins with a screwdriver.

Decided to RMA the board and get a refund since I found out that the board has many many problems in the long run. Gonna go for a full upgrade on my desktop now instead of trying to increase the life of my agp system. Thanks for the help though, much appreciated.
