emsley Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 How about a post saying "I did it!" Go go go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 The processor fan is running but at a extremely low speed. Now I'm worried that I cook the thing because I smell the freaking gel from the case. That and the vid card ain't working, when I boot nothing shows on the screen. Help o.o D:.

emsley Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Is this all new parts? When it first fire up you will be bale to smell all the shit settling in. Your graphics card should not be doing that - did you touch the case to discharge any static on your body? The processor will run slow if its not pushing something major if its ideling on BIOS and not doing anything. You do know how to install a fresh operating system right? If not dont do it get someone else to do it who knows there shit and learn off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 I know how to install an OS. I've never touched or played with Bios though I was told that it should be done automatic. Yes these are all new parts as well, except for one DVD drive which really isn't that big a deal imo. O and the onboard video card has a female output, I want to shoot the mobo so bad for that.

emsley Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 So you need a converter and your PC will grow eyes, how annoying would that be to find its female lol wtf is that even standard on some machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Edit: There is no on board video, that was the fucking COM port that I confused. Anyways, I swapped video cards, and still nothing, any ideas on what I should try next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I've swapped video cards. I've replugged everything at least 10 times.I've disconnected the HD, the DVD drive, and left only 1 stick of ram in the mobo. When it boots, I hear a beep (I'm guessing that's the RAM), and all the fans are running (The processor, the PSU, the Vid card). I don't get any image on my monitor (and I've tried all 3 different connections on the vid card, VGA, HDMI, and DVI). I also hooked up a keyboard and don't see Numlock or lights like that go off. Nor anything when I press all the F buttons hoping the BIO's menu magically appears. Anybody got any more ideas? Edit: Just reset the CMOS. Still blank. I love this .

emsley Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 It sounds fucked. Are you sure its all new stuff - what the hell are you building!!! One beep on start up means everything is good, really get your melon next to the motherboard though because on some the beeps can be quieter. Anymore than one beep you got a hardware problem.

ken_cinder Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 If there is onboard video, it will by default be the only thing you will get video from until you change the bios settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 There isn't a onboard video, which is starting to worry me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
