Pulling my hair our !
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 |

Thanks in advance for you help and time You HAVE fitted the motherboards to the case with standoffs? For basic test, put motherboard on a piece of cardboard or similar insulator. Fit CPU and cooler and connect PSU. Don't forget the 2x2 12V plug that connevts near the PSU. Use a small screwdriver to briefly short the Power header pins on the motherbpard. If you do not have a speaker on motherboard you will need to connect a speaker from the case. CPU fan should start and you should get the beep code for 'memory problem'. When you do, add memory (one stick) and you should get code for video problem. Add things one at a time.... Mike. |

Try a different monitor and use a monitor extension cable next time to save wear and tear on the shop monitor. -- Michael Cecilhttp://macecil.googlepages.com/index.htmhttp://macecil.googlepages.com/safehex.htmhttp://macecil.googlepages.com/hackingvista.htm 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. |

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. -- Michael Cecil http://macecil.googlepages.com/index.htm http://macecil.googlepages.com/safehex.htm http://macecil.googlepages.com/hackingvista.htm |

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. Paul Paul has given you some good advice. I have one computer here that will do what you describe every now and then. I have no idea what causes it. But the next time you try to boot your system, turn the monitor off via the power button on the monitor. Leave the computer booting up. Then turn the monitor back on. See if you have video then. This usually takes care of my one flaky computer until the next time it does this. It's worth a try. Bob |
