Hi,
I have just recently built a brand new pc.
I have run a range of checks and I think the motherboard is defective.
Spec:
CPU - AMD ATHLON 64 3800
MEMORY - CRUCIAL 2GB DDR 400
POWER SUPPLY - TAGAN TG480-U01
GRAPHICS CARD - XFX 7600GT FATAL1YR
MONITOR - SAMSUNG TFT MONITOR SM940BW
Problem: BLANK SCREEN ON MONITOR
I switch on the pc - i get no beeps, no power led light comes on, but CPU cooler fan, 2 case fans & the 2 motherboard small fans all come on.
The blue leds are flashing on the PCI slots, but not the PCI Express slot 1 where the graphics card is installed.
The graphics card has no additional power connectors.
I have connected the PC & monitor by way of DVI connector lead that came with the TFT monitor.
When I switch on the monitor it asks for analog or digital (this is correct according to Samsung manual). Once I select digital there is just a blank screen.
I have disconnected all the RAM and rebooted the pc, but i get no beeps.
I have reset the CMOS, but still the same.
I have changed the internal speaker cable around, but still no beeps.
I have connected the 4 pin power connector to ATX4P1 socket for graphics card, but still I get a blank screen after selecting Digital on the monitor.
Can anyone help?
