Hello!
Okay, so this is my second PC build - The first was a flawless, I had no issues whatsoever...however this new rig is giving me quite some difficulty.
I have read so many threads across the net yet none have been to any real assistance.
The specs are as follows:
Mobo - Asus: M4N68T-M V2
CPU - AMD Athlon II 455
550w Antec PSU
8gb patriot @ 1600 MHZ
Nvidia 8800gt
So, the issue is I'm not receiving a signal from my video card to the monitor. Yes, all of the power is connected in the appropriate spots - I've rebuilt this comp from scratch 2 times now.
The video card is an old one I had in a previous computer, it is quite old and a bit knackered but the fan is receiving power so I assume it's working. I can't access the Bios of course since I have no visuals...but I've tried resetting the CMOS by removing the battery, yet that did not fix the issue.
The main reasons I think the video card is still intact is the fact that this video card was in a previous computer and worked perfectly fine, that and as I said it is receiving power. I've returned the CPU in hopes that could be the issue, but still the problem prevails.
I've tried using only one stick of ram, both sticks in the first slot, and that did nothing.
I don't hear any beeps from the computer, except the HDD.
Any idea what the issue could be? Perhaps the video card is completely done, now? It is about 3 years old, but as I said it was* working perfectly fine in a previous build.
Thanks.
