no video...

cotir2005 · 11-13-2007, 10:42 AM

I finally got my motherboard back from ECS (a sata port broke off about 2 months ago) and everything worked fine before i sent it back, but now my video cards dont work. I have everything set up the same way except a different case. I tried a bench test, and nothing, i tried resetting the cmos and nothing... i dont know what else to do... any help is greatly appreciated

cotir2005 · 11-13-2007, 11:03 AM

im seeing nothing. everything turns on as it should but the screen is just black. I tried two different cards and got the same thing. all the fans turn on all the lights turn on but no video

if you are getting the post beep try another psu in it
if no post beep reset the cmos
remove the power lead
remove the battery
move the jumper from pins 1 and 2 to 2 and 3 and back to 1 and 2
replace the battery
replace the lead
boot the computer

set it up out of the case with
cpu
ram
video
speaker
and see if you get post,if not remove the ram and see if you receive the bios error beeps because it is missing

i tried a bench test and nothing happened... no beeps or anything.. maybe i dont have the speaker set up right... there is are a few wires running from the case that have an adapter that says speaker on it so i plugged that into the speaker port.

when i took out the ram there were no beeps either
