Brief Statement:
Hey guys, I am having an issue with my computer, as stated in the title, and need your help! I had recently installed two new RAM sticks (2 X 4 gb, Team Elite) to replace my old ones (2 X 2 gb, OCZ) in a slow, step-by-step attempt to upgrade my computer. However following the swap, there is no longer any video output to my monitor. I am hoping that the community can help me!
Specs:
ASUS P7H55-M Pro Motherboard (DDR3)
Intel Core i3 Processor (Model # Unknown)
Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus RS500-PCARD3-US 500W ATX12V v2.3
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB SATA III (Pretty sure it's this one)
HIS ATI Radeon HD 5770
Enermax Uber Chakra
Windows 7 x86
2 X OCZ PC3 8500 Gold Series; PN: OCZ3G10664GK; 1066 MHz; 7-7-7 @ 1.6v; 2gb [Old]
2 X Team Group Elite PC3-10600 CL9; PN: TED34096M1333HC9; 9-9-9-24 @ 1.5v; 4gb [New]
Computer was assembled by another company (OTV) who I now, almost, hate.
Otherwise, this just denotes professional assembly and somewhat of a "trust" that nothing is truly faulty.
Where the issue started/Before the issue started; details:
This part may be irrelevant ~ I was having issues with this computer immediately after it had contracted its build in August 2010. It BSOD'd on my ass and mini dumped everytime I booted it. It would not work - as in constantly BSOD and dump components of software - with certain software (Starcraft II) if I shut down the computer after installing it (I know, it's weird) forcing me to reinstall most programs. Computer was brought back several times to no avail. Alas, I just never shut down my computer (only put her to sleep). After a while, my computer stopped dumping so consistently (even following shut downs) and instead started freezing like a **** during heavier process requiring tasks, like gaming. So I figured I'd begin to upgrade parts; this is where my hell begins.~
I bought the new RAM, they arrived. I cracked open my case and swapped my new RAM for my old ones. No video output. ***! Aha (I thought I solved my problem), I realized my RAM were installed loosely (I had actually installed them the wrong way in, with the nodule not aligning) so I installed them properly this time. No video output. Tried my old Ram sticks, no video output. Other channels (dual channel), no video output. (For more attempts, please refer to "Things I Have Tried" section.) I have given up on what to do and hope this community can help me out!
Things I Have Tried:
I did not simply come here because I am lazy, I actually attempted things before this! Anyways I'll let you guys know what I've done (in an attempted chronological order):
1. Tried reinstalling old RAM only to still result in no video output.
2. Different cords/monitor/HDMI and DVI outputs.
3. Googled this issue and found no solution; otherwise I wouldn't be here.
4. Reinstalling old GPU/ Installing a new, identical GPU (was planning to crossfire once I upgraded my motherboard).
5. Installing all four RAM in corresponding channels (Dual Channel; color coded and hard to *** up)
6. Did most things on this list: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems (Single RAM in all slots)
7. A combination of old/new GPU with single RAM in all slots.
8. No GPU and single RAM/dual RAM in all slots and attempted stream from direct motherboard output.
I have probably tried more, but that's all i can currently think of. So far nothing has shown any video output.
Clearing the air before suggestions are spammed:
-I am confident that it works, power is clearly on and connected (fans are running/lights are on).
-I do trust that it was originally built properly and I have only adjusted the RAM. Everything is in tact/same place from when it was working - immediately before I swapped RAM.
-Proper input on the monitor; cords are working and monitor is working.
-RAMs/GPUs installed properly (not wiggling, properly fitting into expansions slots)
-Compatible RAMs, I read the manual. Neither are on the officially "recognized" list of RAMs by the motherboard; however, the motherboard automatically senses and adjusts voltage to new RAM (so it states), and both are of compatible MHz and run at proper voltage.
Things I'm Planning On Trying:
Re attempt all single RAM with new GPU/old GPU/no GPU combinations. I might've missed one as it is a tedious task.
Plugging in to check for error sounds.
Additional Question(s):
Do you guys think this could be a motherboard issue?
Message from me
Anyways, let me know what you guys think.
I will try to stay as updated as possible with this! Please help if you can! Any suggestions would be nice! Hope I posted this in the right place!
