I know this might be better suited to the SFF forum, but I was hoping that some non-SFF people may be able to help me too..
I have an SN41G2 that has been running 100% fine for the last week. I bought myself a shiny Radeon 9500np to put in it, because the onboard GFX wasn't enough for me.
Anyway, I installed the Graphics card as you normally do. Place it into the AGP slot, lock it in, plug in the floppy power connector. After routinely checking everything else was seated properly, I plugged the psu cable, mouse, keyboard back into the shuttle, but plugged the monitor cable into the 9500 card.
I powered up, and went straight into the bios to make sure all was okay. The temps were fine, 32C Case 41C cpu. So I exited the bios and waiting for the shuttle to load windows.
The shuttle appeared to be turned on, all the lights were on, psu fan, nb fan, AGP fan, all fine. However, the ICE fan stayed on it's high setting (quite loud). When the shuttle is turned on, the ICE fan whirs for a second or so at it's high setting, then slows down to a mild whistle. It stayed on it's high spin.
There was no monitor activity either, the monitor wasn't receiving any signal whatsoever, and stayed on Standby.
After pressing the reboot button, the shuttle made it's normal reboot noises (like every pc does), but still the same. I tried turning the Shuttle off with it's power button, but it stayed on (didn't even shut down after a few seconds). So I had to unplug the shuttle from the back.
I tried the shuttle again with the monitor cable plugged into the onboard vga out. The same thing has happened.
I have now removed the 9500np card, and tried powering up. Still no cigar.
I have re-seated all the components, reset the CMOS, re-reset the CMOS, re-re-seated all the components, tried again with the 9500np card installed, but nothing further than what I've already got.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
