Post subject: | Why are new computers always so difficult.... |
Latest Update: Got it to work!, turned out my Antec power supply was the fault, it must not of been compatible or something we think. Ok so finally got all the components for my new rig, the x1950xt however is out of stock so I got a little x300 for a tenner off ebay just untill the x1950xt comes in stock. Anyway I finally got the x300 today after having built a working computer the day before (all I needed was monitor support), the CD drive opened, the power LED's came on, all the fans, made the typical 'I need a graphics card' beeping, looked fine. So I put the x300 in and no monitor..so I think 'Hmm, maybe its the RAM' so I tried all 4 dimm slots, still nothing. Then I noticed my CD drive no longer works, also the beeper has stopped beeping, and no power LED lights, however all the system/cpu fans still turn on :/.. Anyway so now I'm just going to use spare cables etc and re-wire everything to see if that helps at all, and then I'm going to plug it all back in and hope it works, if anyones got any ideas or any tips that I can try it would be helpful.. p.s heres my specs Update: I put in a PCI graphics card and the monitor still does not work, and it seems the HDD doesn't turn on either, and still no beeps, however the fans, CD drives and LED's all come on, and the LED's on the motherboard do too. What could be faulty with these symptoms?? |

make sure everything is plugged in securely, could just be a couple of loose cables.... |

Something similar happened to fine when I built it last year. Turns out the graphics card was borked. Overclockers exchanged and replaced it within 4 days. |

Are you getting the no signal input thing? If so thats exactly what I had when I had ordered the wrong type of card Sure the card's compatible? |

Yea the cards compatible, it wouldn't fit into a PCI-E slot if the gfx card wasn't PCI-E. I'm still playing around with the cables and such but really I'm more concerned about why the power on LED's aren't lighting up, why my CD drive doesn't work, and why I'm getting no beeping-ness..is that bios, cpu I don't know . |

The beep is part of the post process (power on self test) however if ur computer encounters a prob b4 the post it wont beep, normally mem test can stop the comp b4 the post, how many sticks ya got did ya try just one for now in various slots see if it posts, could be one of the sticks or slots if u have more than one, then move on to the other probs coz there probably minor ones |

thanks yea I had my suspicions about the memory too because in the past if it's not regeristing it, or its not in correctly the comp just doesnt work properly/ doesn't boot..I'll try investigate. EDIT: Ok my dad did something and now the CD drive and the front LEDs work so thats cool, now I think its down to the graphics or memory, so going to get a PCI graphics card in there. Well in a week ish when I get back from yorkshire I'ma get the x1950xt and another GB of RAM, so I'll put those in, if it works then I've found the culprits . |
