No signal to monitor, Tried everything.

[roklobster315]

I've come to the point where i'll just post here because after constantly going through topics, videos I try everything and it seems to be consistent. this PC was working for 4-5 months until it started to get a no signal error to monitor (everything inside the PC was spinning/on even the graphics card fans) to resolve it all i had to do was restart it and it would boot up no problem. Once its booted no problems whats so ever No freezing, slow downs, blue screens nothing but if I turned it off and tried to turn it on that problem would persist. FF a couple months and now not even restarting it twice would work, so I changed HDMI cables, took out ram put it back in, Cleaned ram, removed a lot of dust from the PC, changed ram from one pair of slots to another, and it would work max for 1 day maybe pushing 2 days where it would restart and have a signal but after it just stops, Then i cleaned cmos (never removed it because I don't get error codes or anything). same thing. Recently I unplugged every cable, removed video card (cleaned it out it had a lot of dust in the heat sink and top plaque) and re installed it in the same slot plug in everything tightly so it would be secure and it worked for 2-3 days but recently stopped again. I'm honestly tired of doing this every time so I just resorted to leaving it on for days. I don't think the parts are damaged since I get no errors or anything once its on. I will note the way I make it work now (i used to make sure everything was secure) is just unplugging the pcie on the graphics and plugging it back in, the graphics seems a bit loose.

Tried the second pcie slot as well?

RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 671MHz (9-9-9-24)

The actual speed? Is abit of an odd speed so maybe something isn't set right in the bios as well.maybe even affecting the pcie speed.Look at the front side bus,see if it runs at 200.

Front side bus? What should i do go in the bios? Also i'll probly try the secound Pcie slot when i have time.

 

[Vic 40]

Yes that means going into the bios.

 

[roklobster315]

Yes that means going into the bios.

So once i go into the bios what would I change?

 

[Vic 40]

Go into the bios,go to "MIT" in there look at the "CPU Frequency" and see if that's set to 200.

What kind of ram do you have anyway? =maker,model,size ,a modelnr would be great.

If you do the next would that give info too,

Download hwinfo32,
http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html
open it,
click run,
close the top window which is the system summary,
click save report at the left top,
in the next window at the bottom check=dot "short text report" after that next,you'll get to see what is in your pc

copy the info about the ram in the next answer. Can look with cpu-z (freeware as well) too,info might be under the "SPD" tab.

i'll do the bios thing shortly

Looking at the ram does it have a higher speed it can run at. When in the bios look in the `MIT` at the `set memory clock`,it will probably be at "auto",Set it to manual,set the "memory clock" to x8.00 to get it working at 1600mhz and set the first four timings (primary) at 10-10-10-30,keep the voltage at 1.5V.

 

[roklobster315]

Just came back from a trip and did what you said, worked for 2 days and now on the third day its still happening.

 

[Vic 40]

Can add some voltage to the ram,set it at 1.55V and see. Can go up to 1.65V.

Did you have the latest bios? Can't remember or find that in the thread.

 

[roklobster315]

Well later today ill try getting into the bios again, what information would you need? Btw when i changed the timings the first option only had 1t or 2t i left it at 2t the rest 4 i put them as you said.

 

[roklobster315]

So i set the ram to 1.5v and everything at 9 9 9 24 because that was what is the recomended setting, like clockwork third day not working. Are you sure it could be the ram, this problem is getting tiring. Ill try your setting again with the higher v but idk if its gonna work at this point.

 

[Vic 40]

The ram could be the issue or a symptom,hard to say,but setting it right could say more.

I looked and we didn't discuss the bios yet,as asked which bios are you running? Can usually be found in the first screen of the bios.Also which revision of the motherboard? Can be found on the left bottom corner of the motherboard. Need that info to see if you do have the latest bios.

Did you btw try the other pcie slot? To see if that "loose" gpu has something to do with it. Rereading the thread and haven't seen if you really tested that.
