Hey guys first time poster, Love the site.. Here's my issue

I have a Intel D945PSN Motherboard, 1gb Memory, 500 watt power supply, BLANK New hard drive, nothing on it.. When I boot the pc, no error beeps, all fans come on, all green lights, everything seems good. I get no Video.. I have a Geforce 7300GS PCI-Express video card using the vga cable my monitor says NO Signal, So i thought my pci express slot was messed up and i went out and purchased a VisionTek Radeon x1300 pci video card, I plugged that in the computer and I still get the same problem.. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

THXS!

LOL.. Thanks Jimmy.. Been there done that..

flanzig1 · 01-28-2007, 03:18 PM

What is the brand and model of the PSU? Also, which CPU are you using? Doesn't look like that board supports Core 2 Duo.

parditty · 01-28-2007, 03:29 PM

it's a pentium d, and what do you mean what cpu is it? it's a intel d945psn motherboard....

flanzig1 · 01-28-2007, 03:34 PM

CPU=central proceessing unit=processor chip=Pentium D

parditty · 01-28-2007, 03:38 PM

im not sure.. All I can tell you that its a pentium d processor and the motherboard is d945psn..

flanzig1 · 01-28-2007, 03:48 PM

The motherboard and Pentium D CPU will work.

Back to the power supply: Brand and model#?

parditty · 01-28-2007, 04:01 PM

550 watt some company called power up i just purchased it yesterday..

flanzig1 · 01-28-2007, 04:08 PM

What is the Amp raing for the +12volt rail and the model number?
Just to let you know, Powerup aren't quailty PSUs.

parditty · 01-28-2007, 04:14 PM

lol i know iit was a cheapy and i didnt feel like spending $100 on a power supply.. but anyway32amps.. im getting 3 beeps when i start the pc is that memory?

flanzig1 · 01-28-2007, 04:38 PM

yes, that is memory. Brand and model # of the ram?

parditty · 01-28-2007, 04:43 PM

2 kbyte 512MB-DDR2 PC4200 I just went to the store and got some net memory just a 512mb made by simpletech model number srt-53dr2 and i tried starting it up and still mo video.. the motherboard seems fine it has the green light that comes on.. Im so frustrated..

parditty · 01-28-2007, 04:44 PM

you dont have AIM/Yahoo Messenger or MSN Messenger do you Flanzig?

flanzig1 · 01-28-2007, 05:13 PM

No, don't have any of that stuff.
Are both the big power plug AND the square 4 pin power connector from the power supply connected to the motherboard?
If these are connected, then probably the PSU isn't working correctly

parditty · 01-28-2007, 05:18 PM

yea there both plugged in.. Should i unseat the processor and reseat it? Why would the Brand new power supply unit not work? Is there anything else that would cause the pc to not be able to accept any video cards, even in vga mode seems like the card should work..

***glc*** · 01-28-2007, 06:00 PM

Are you trying this out of the case with minimum components?

parditty · 01-28-2007, 06:48 PM

im not particularry sure what you mean by that qlc, but all my hardware is in box.

**Alaron** · 01-28-2007, 06:59 PM

We remove the parts from the box to make sure nothing is grounding against the case, causing a short. So follow this troubleshooter again, and take the components OUT of the case completely: http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=132409

parditty · 01-28-2007, 08:15 PM

ok, so i did that, I took out everything from the box, made sure there wasnt any loose screws floating around, put the motherboard back in put the intel pentium d chip back in, put the video card abck in hooked up all my cables including power, and now when i start up the pc i get a melody sort of beep like a "duhn nun... duhn nun" stays on for about 15-20 seconds and then shuts down.. Still no video..

I also went ant tested the ram on another pc and the other pc worked with the ram, I also tested the video card on another pc and it also worked..

sgtspector · 01-28-2007, 08:33 PM

Did the computer start when you assembled it out of the box?

parditty · 01-28-2007, 08:53 PM

yes, and it still starts just no video
