Hi! Need some help!
I have got a new SSD for my PC and installed windows 10 to it but now I have no signal. I’ll give you a step by step of what I did and my PC specs.
Step by Step of what I did:
My Specs:
SSD - Sunbow X3 120 GB
HDD - WD Blue 1 TB
GPU - Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8G
MB - ASUS f2a85-V pro
PSU - Corsair CX 750
RAM- Corsair Vengeance 8GB x2
Monitor - AOC 236lm00006
Processor - AMD Athlon X4 FM2
My GPU is only a few weeks old. I had a bit of trouble installing it and also got no signal but managed to use old GPU to figure out that the MB’s OB graphics were the problem and updated their VGA drivers which solved it. I unfortunately don’t have my old GPU anymore so can’t use that to do anything.
I don’t have anyone I can borrow components from or try their monitor etc. My next move is getting a new MB. Any suggestions are appreciated!
I have got a new SSD for my PC and installed windows 10 to it but now I have no signal. I’ll give you a step by step of what I did and my PC specs.
Step by Step of what I did:
- Had all drivers and windows 7 on my original HDD up to date. Was able to play on this rig before now.
- Moved important files to external HD. Removed nothing from HDD.
- Downloaded bootable windows 10 from Microsoft onto a memory stick.
- Plugged in new SSD and checked it was recognised on PC and then formatted it per instructions.
- Removed HDD and booted PC with memory stick and SSD plugged in.
- Installed windows 10 to SSD. Seemed to install successfully and was able to use PC at this point as normal.
- Turned off PC, turned back on to enter bios and set SSD as the drive it boots with. At this point I accidentally missed bios first time and it loaded windows again (aka I was able to start PC with SSD twice before it died).
- Set the SSD as the drive it boots to in bios and turned off.
- Plugged HDD back in and turned on pc. Fans, lights etc all running in PC but no signal to monitor. Like NOTHING. No blue light saying it’s turned on, nothing appears on screen.
- Just SSD plugged in and just HDD plugged in.
- All combinations of SSD and/or HDD plugged in alone, with each other, with memory stick and with external HD and in each SATA port. Tried with neither installed as well.
- Removing, cleaning and replacing all connections and parts (including RAM) in whole PC and monitor.
- Using each RAM on their own.
- Clearing CMOS by removing battery.
- Using MB graphics by removing GPU and plugging DV1 into MB.
- Using HDMi cable in GPU and also in MB. Did this with HDMI alone and also with DV1 also plugged in.
- Checking boards over (I’m an ex electronics engineer and couldn’t see anything that looks broken).
