Monitor does not display on boot up
I know this has been covered, but I still have a problem. First I have a new build, a Mainboard with an athalon 64 3000+, ati radeon 9800, 250gb hd, and an old burner. I had to jerry rig the power on, because my switch was not made for this MB but it works. I power up and everything comes one, psu, cpu fan, keyboard lights flash, pwr led comes on, hd spins, cd tray opens/closes. but the monitor does not come on, I have tried DVI and DSUB, both go into power-saving mode automatically. This Motherboard has no integrated Graphics so there is no monitor port, which i found really strange, but I don't know where to go from there. The ram is seated well, and in slot 1, one strange thing, the agp slot doesn't quite match the graphics card, the card has three slits in the connectors, but the agp slot has one long and 1 short, it fits and the motherboard layout says its the agp slot, so I know thats gotta be where it goes, cuz the rest are pci.
Thanks for your help. |

I do believe that video card needs power from the psu to operate.. My inlaw has the same one... And I do strongly recommend you use glc link to the out of the case build...

I have power to the video card, I'm going to try the out of case build now, I'm afraid the MB might be grounding to the case, I hope I haven't blown anything already.

Ok I just tested it outside the case, still have the same problem, my graphics card is a little wobbly in the agp slot though. I have power to it, the fan on the Graphics card spins. The only thing I can think of is that the box calls for DDR400, but the stick of ram I have is DDR 333. Could that be my problem? its 1gb pc2700 DDR333.

one more question. I have an old motherboard just sittin around, It has a DSUB connector on it. What if I unsoldered it from the old board and soldered it onto my new one, there is a blank JCOM on the new board.

That probably won't work. That board would need the chipset that supports on-board video. And mother boards are multi layer so when soldering you would never know if a particular point had good solder or shorted one layer to another.

I see, thanks for that info. I just tried the graphics card I have in this computer (ati radeon 9600) and still have the same problem, which is leading more and more towards a ram problem I'm assuming. I can't test the ram because this computer doesn't take pc2700 it takes pc-133. so I have no way to test that right now.

oh yeah, so I guess I just need to know if it being the wrong ram type would cause this.

If you have the same problem after buying a new stick, then I would say a bad dimm slot, and time to rma the board...
