Computer problem

(1/4) > >>

CABAZON:
So I'm building a computer here. I have everything there and stuff, I plug in the monitor and I don't get a signal.

Feel free to suggest things and ask questions, as long as it isn't
A) Is the monitor plugged in (Because I'm not that retarded)
B) Is the video card seated properly (because it is)
C) Change your bios (because I can't even fucking get into it)
D) Try taking X things out and starting with only X things in because I've tried just about everything in that category.


Anyone know of a solution to my 700 dollar problem?

What monitor, what video card, what mainboard, does the monitor says 'no signal' or it's just staying blank or off? Does the computer itself starts? Did it work before, and if so, what did work, everythiung or just a few things?

This may include thing from "A B C D", but it may have tip you can use:
If it even doesn't shows a screen where normally the bios should show up, then you should check if you have all basic components installed, like ram, cpu. (you may try to place the ram in a other slot) If you didn't forget power lines, some new graphic cards require a hardisk sized powersupply as they can't take enough power from the mainboard, and the atx plug to the mainboard itself check that too. Also try to remove unneeded parts from the system, like mouse, sound card, ethernet, harddisk, cdrom station, ram (if you have two or more modules), cpu (if you have two or more cpu's), ect. But not the fan or so... Just put the basic to get a bios screen. (without that you're nowhere)

If it still doesn't do anything try to test the hardware in a other pc. If it's brand new stuff you may try to ask the one who sold you it for help.

Some more information about the hardware would help a lot to slove it too. At the moment I know nothing but "no screen, no bios".

Also, make sure you didn't lose a pin on the moniter cable

Chichiri:
It depends on what pins you lose you can lose all the pins as long as they are the ground and nothing important.
