NeXuS: Shock it till ya know it; +375|6608|Atlanta, Georgia

I bought a new proccesor then a new motherboard and new ram. Popped everything together in hopes it would work. No it didn't. So then i bought a new power supply, did it work? Nope still didnt work. So i RMA'd it and got another one. Still didn't work. Ok then it must be my motherboard. So i go out and buy a new motherboard... Will it work now? Fuck no nexus you can't have a computer of course i wont work for you.

So my question is, Why the fuck aren't i getting any video to my monitor? I've done everything, I've used a 2 video cards, onboard video, bought a new motherboard and i still have no clue what to do. Is my power supply to shitty to power even the simplest of things? It's a 550 Watt single rail PS.

HELP!???!?!?

Have you plugged in the 4-pin CPU power connector?

Have you built a PC before (that actually works)?

When you turn it on, does it beep? Do the fans start turning? Does a led on the mobo light up?

I dont have a pc speaker hooked up, but everything else turns on, the cmos light, the fans, and the LED's. Everything spins up just fine. There's just no video what so ever. Yes, i have built a working computer before.

Is GFX card connected to power?

I had the same problem a while ago-I reset CMOS and it worked since then. My mobo was/is also ASUS.

Try resetting CMOS. What's the mobo model?

Shuffle your random memories around. Try with just one stick seated in the slot closest to the CPU.

make sure whatever video card you're using is selected in BIOS... oh thats right no video... hmh.... clear cmos and pull the power cable out for few seconds after a reboot ...

I had this problem before, and for me it turned out to be a dead stick of ram.

Computer would turn on, but nothing would show up on the screen.

if you have another working computer systematically test every part, the monitor, and attached devies in that till you find what's broken. No need to buy anything new till you know what's wrong tbh
