I had a DFI board that required one more small 4 pin hookup...so just saying ya never know.

But if you've reseated everything, and you've pulled the board out of the case and layed it on a table hooked up and yet it still doesn't show a video signal even on another LCD screen then you do have ...

Gundamflare

ah sorry, maybe i wasn't clear. I have everything on the mobo hooked up, the 8 atx and the 24pin.

Gundamflare

Well give it a shot.. and even though it says 650w, it may not have the proper 12volt rails to run a high end card... I think the 9800GTX models require around 38amps on a single rail. Also as I said before make sure you have ALL power connections hooked up on the motherboard, some boards require ...

I have a smaller vid card and it doesn't take PCI-E...I have a 650w PSU.

already tried...still no video

Thanks Rivas -- I'll take the CMOS battery out for longer (usually its just for a minute) and try again.

Curious about the motherboard mounting screws, why would I need to put all of them in? I have all the ones that the case provided (one or two in the middle didn't have the option), would this ...

Gundamflare

I can't see the BIOS menu or anything at all

Gundamflare

I put in a 8600GT just in case and it still has the same issue. So it's the on-board video AND the card that has the issue

Gundamflare

Hey guys,

I attempted to build a new HTPC last weekend and have had nothing but troubles. I've built about 10+ computers before, so this is puzzling me.

Basically, on boot, all fans go, the hard drive kicks up and the mobo lights up just fine. Everything looks good, but I get no video. I didn't ...

Gundamflare

Interesting that would be your first step of troubleshooting...I'll look into it.

It's custom built:

Mobo:

MSI P6N SLI Platinum LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

CPU:

Intel Q6600

Hey all,

I decided this weekend to format my Vista partition (sitting on an intel SSD) to install Win7 (RC) to test it out before I make the plunge and actually purchase Win7. Well, needless to say, I was thoroughly enjoying my experience, except for the fact that it would lock up after 3-5 ...

Hey guys, I have a laptop here and it keeps BSODing on bootup. No safe mode allowed, and I need to backup information from the laptop. I have an external here and can only get into XP's recovery console, don't have a floppy with this as its a laptop

Thanks,

Hey there,

I've been having problems with this machine back at home, it's a fairly decent computer, with an Asus A7N8X mobo and an XFX graphics card (not too sure of its specs, its been awhile since I built it) anyway, the guy has been giving me loads of trouble lately. Right now, he will boot up ...

Gundamflare

As it stands right now, my friend asked me for an upgrade, his following specs are:

1.5gb ram (2x 256 1x 1gb) DDR
AMD Athlon XP 2700+ (clocked at 2.15 ghz)
ASUSTeK A7V8X-X which seems to be locked into AMD Athlon XPs and Socket A processors
and a pretty solid GeForce6800XT video card.

I was ...

Hey all,

Hey guys,

I've got an error that I can't pin down, and it's quite upsetting that it would happen during linking, especially when I'm almost done!

Anyway, the error is

When you enable it make sure nothing is connected to the USB ports. Some USB devices will cause XP to hang on a reboot or bootup. If plugged in after windows boots up they work fine. Dame that would be a real pain if it was a scanner or printer.

Hey thanks for the reply but unfortunately it didn ...

Gundamflare

When the USB is enabled through BIOS the computer won't boot into winxp, it just hangs there. I've tried searching for a USB update for the board itself, but came up with no such luck. Was considering formatting but it's not really an option as this isn't my computer, I feel like winxp is just being ...

Specs:

I had upgrading this computer from a 2200+ to a 2600+ with an nforce board about a month ago (thread still here in which i had a problem with the clockspeed). Anyway, I had to move the computer for a period of one week, and during that week I've been noticing some pretty bad crashing. Before the ...

Gundamflare

Wasn't quite it. I had to first replace the jumpers, then the FSB, then the multiplier. I wasn't quite sure about all of that until I had remembered some stuff I read about a year ago, so now it's running at a 2800+ with good temps. Thanks.

Gundamflare

1.15 GHz to be exact.

Why is that? A friend of mine said that there could be a toggle on the motherboard itself, but i've done some reading and haven't found such a thing. Other issues I was thinking about was A) RAM which is a Kingston Value Ram 512MB or B) Power, but I doubt its that as I've got ...

Gundamflare

Alright, the computer is running relatively slow...its taking awhile to get to the XP and the 2K screen. I've bumped it to agressive so i'll see how it goes.

Gundamflare

Rock on! I'll go do that

Ooooo formatting is so much better than bad ram

Was just updating the Motherboard/hsf/CPU and a chasis fan, the motherboard is an Asus A7N8X, the CPU is an AMD barton 2600 333fsb.

On boot, things go as planned, but when I get to the XP loading screen, it gives me what I think is the memory dump error and reboots me. I tried safe mode, but same ...

well, my brother and I have been having computer problems lately, and we're constantly pressed for time; this is what we had to do.

Well, I had a feeling something like this was going to happen, but before I purchase a new mobo and proc, I need to make sure I don't make the same mistakes. It was a second hand mobo with a person who took care of his equipment well. One night, I was just talking on AIM, and the monitor just jumped ...

I've got a Toshiba Protege 3010ct lying here that I've come to the conclusions that either it needs a new backlight, or its dead. I can compare the screen to a Gameboy Advanced when in the dark, it's hard to see and I don't think it can be a contrast/brightness issue because of the lack of controls ...

I did connect it directly to the mobo...

Hmm, I don't see how I could mess up while mounting it..at all? isn't it just apply arctic silver on die, take a glob off, put on fan..smother, then flatten out arctic silver on die > place fan on top put the non-adjustable fan on top then use a flat head to do the other side? thats what I did...I ...

it's a brand new system with a less than a year old mobo...damn, I bought this off a friend too, what other things will be effected if the battery is dead?

I'm aware that my computer temperatures are above normal, and will hopefully be receiving my volcano 9, but is this a result of the overheating? most times my dates are kept correctly, but even now it says that it's october 9th...and a wednesday, what gives?

Well, i'm not up to that mission as of yet [PSATs coming up :| ] but, a friend of mine told me that there is a dirt path you can take while racing, you guys should look into it
