well for me it was the power supply. sorry for not getting back earlier but had to go out of town and couldnt work on it. I switched the pci-e power plug on the same PSU and it worked. I found that really streange since the other pci-e turned on the fan but the other one turned on the fan and...

already put in a new mobo, new gpu new cpu and tried the ram seperately, but not 2 different pieces of ram. I havent tried replacing the psu yet, but i am still confused on how that could prevent the monitor from getting a signal. If the fans are working the floppy and dvd drive are working, and...

so i switched out the mobo board and still a no go. i tried to power supply reset and nothing happened. i do not have a power supply handy to try. Could both RAM be bad. and if so why would i not get any signal on the monitor, all it says is check your connection. no signal at all. i have tried...

so i used an amd chip from older computer and still nothing on the display. so could this just be an incompatibility problem or that the pci-E slots are bad? -rob

unless both ram are bad, i tried them seperately and no difference. I do think i saw a new clue if this helps. i am not sure it is anything. while doing the ram test i had the panel open. i heard a very fast clicking noise almost like something was hitting the fans but all wires are moved away...

why would those stop the display from coming on? thanks i will try the ram. I dont have extra cpu lying around. I cannot get even the bios to show also when i turn on the computer the drives do work so there is a connection ( i can open and close them) would these work if the cpu was bad, and...

i finished building a new computer (my third) it is 939 amd asus motherboard sli, with a evga 7900 video card (only one). i put everything in turned on the power button everything lit up in the computer all fans came on and all optical drives booted up but there was nothing on the display, i...

i read that. thank you. but does that mean that i can only do 5.1 or can i do the 7.1 with the rca jacks? thanks -rob

how do you hook up the compuer sound card audigyzs pro to a amplifier. i have a 7.1 system already and i wanted to hook it up to this amplifier so i can play games through this system? -rob

what about oc'ing? any data on that? -rob

will the x2 chips fit into current dfi mobo? also has there been any data on OC'ing the dual cores? -rob

i am going to watercool the cpu. so the x850 did fit though. so i should be okay correct? -rob

i was looking to purchase a dfi lanparty ultra. i notice they all have two pcie 16 even though it is not sli. i wanted to get a x850 card (probably HIS). i need both pci slots for audio and hdtv tuner. will the x850 fit into first slot since it is near the chipset fan in the back? if it doesnt...

i was looking to get 1 gb mem two i have been looking at are corsair and patriot. how do they compare? -rob

i have a question on that. i was looking at memory and the processor. the fx chips which are hammer core say on die FSB, and the venice say 1 ghz FSB. are these different? whats the difference between them besides the processor speed? -rob
