i purchased a motherboard and cpu and everything was compatible but when i turn on the computer, no display comes on the monitor. i even tried another video card! and i even tried another monitor.... so does anyone know whats is the problem? the bios of the motherboard is updated and i just got this motherboard today after i returned the same motherboard for a new one!
Yea so was mine... maybe if you have a spare one you could try it.....I was building a spare computer and they were all new parts
check that the cmos jumper is in default position. also remove all cards & ram except for videocard & 1 stick of ram. reseat those. remove all cables from drives. clear the cmos using it's jumper as might kick start system. any error codes or beeps??
Are all the plugs in the motherboard? If you have a 4-pin plug on your mobo (2x2 square) make sure the relevant plug is in it. If you have a 24-pin ATX connector you'll need to separate the 4-pin from the other 20.
there's a large multiplug that connects into a large row of pins on your motherboard - the ATX connector. The old version has 20 pins and there's a separate 4 pin connector for the processor. The new version has 24 pins on one plug.
i just got a diagnostics check on the pc and turns out that the bios was outdated and some ide cables were bad so i got all that fixed and there is now a display!! problem is that it comes up with a screen for to boot in safe mode, last known good configuration etc. and i click on last known good configuration but the system keeps on restarting! is there a fix for this?
if using xp but different motherboard & such than what was on old setup than have 2 choices. reinstall windows from scratch or do a repair.
ok when i install windows, at the end of loading everything to install it comes up with an error and i can go on any further with the installation! and everything is connected properly!
Blimey that's a big picture on my 1920x1440 monitor, I dread to think what it looks like on a normal screen! Have you reformatted the disk clean? It could be a bad partition.
