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.
Start with the basic troubleshooting method - simplify. First, pull the
cmos battery for 10 minutes for the settings to revert to the default.
Disconnect everything from the motherboard and powersupply including all
extra cards and drives (both data and power cables).
With just one stick of RAM, the CPU with heatsink/fan, and the video card
plugged in (with any power cables for the video card as well), see if it
will post and if you get video.
If you don't, try the other video card that you know works.
Once you get video, start adding back devices. Your statement, "but when
I rebooted with something plugged in - nothing" would indicate something
is conflicting, or loose, or overwhelming the powersupply perhaps. So
just start slow and don't freak out. A bald geek helps nothing.
