Hi all. I'm trying to build an Asus M32n Ws pro system and I just
can't get anywhere with it. I currently have spares for everything
including an M32N-SLI wireless deluxe MB. I have them in 2 cases and I
have tried swapping everything out - but no luck, Basically I get no
video output to the monitor. I'm using PCE-E card Asus EAX550 and
have also tried a cheapie ATI card. I briefly had a POST screen on 2
occasions, but when I rebooted with something plugged in - nothing,
and I haven't been able to get the post screen back. THe chip(s) are
dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (3GHz) Socket AM2 . I'm using an
Antec TruePower Trio 650W PSU, and I have tried using both PC 6400 and
PC5300 DDR II RAM ( all unbuffered). I'm probably doing something mind
numbingly stupid - but I'd be grateful if someone can tell me what !
Thanks in advance for you help and time
You have bent a pin on the monitor cable's connector. Try a different
monitor and use a monitor extension cable next time to save wear and tear
on the shop monitor.

1. Rhe mob is fitted with standoofs (in both cases)
2. Monitor is working OK (usind it now on this PC
3. Just get the single beep on boot up - can also see the keyboard
being recognised.
... you can see why I/m pullong my hair out.
Does anyone know if there may be a problem with an ATI graphics card ?
the mob has NVIDIA chipset.

The single beep is telling you something. It means the BIOS code was
able to initialize the RAM and the video card OK. So something between
the video card and the monitor is not working right.

If the video card was real bad, you'd be getting a video beep code. So
the BIOS, at least, thinks it has initialized the video card OK. The
BIOS could be freezing, and maybe that prevents a beep code from being
produced, so that is another possible outcome.

As JAD suggested, try the other connector on the video card. It could be,
that you have a DVI monitor, and the X550 is putting a signal on
the VGA connector instead.
