I just built my 2nd computer, and I have no clue what is going on right now. It turns on but no images goes to the screen, all the fans run, motherboard lights up, DVD drive opens and closes, but it doesn't post on the monitor, could this be a gfx card problem, should I try another gfx and see if it works, or would that just be a waste of time, thanks.
the usual antagonist for this problem is your PSU. look up how to test if it is running right. if not then test the ram by putting one stick in at a time. if not remove gfx card and run with integrated graphics. if none of those work then you basically narrowed it down to the motherboard is bad
Try another vga and see if it works.If it does work,your gpu is faulty,or your psu isn't powerfull enough for your card.If it doesn't work though,I'd say your psu is faulty.

he could probably plug it into the integrated on his motherboard

[QUOTE="Legendery_SS94"]Well he says its his second computer so he might.darx55
yeah i tried the other GPU no, boot, i tried 1 gig of RAM and nothing, changed, any other suggestions
Then I'm pretty sure it's your mobo.
is there anyway to check, its an Asus P6T Deluxe/OC Palm, and it lights up, andeverything, its sending power to the other componenents, so...is it possble for it to die/

Try your current components on your other mobo,it should post,meaning your other mobo is faulty.
If you have a speaker on your board and not getting a post or even an error code its probably your board. Just for kicks I would pop out the cmos baaery and short out the cmos jumper for a while. Can't hurt.
Thanks guys, im pretty sure it the board now. Just wondering will the CPU be hury at all by this, just pop it into the new board, and it should work?Russell891
Nothing will happen to your cpu.Don't forget about the thermal grease,and you're good to go.

Okay now, im just pissed, I can't use my new PC today, but Newegg is suppose to have good service, so it should be back soon?
