Compatibility Issues???
Hey Everyone, I built my gaming rig but I am having some issues:
- No video signal is being received from the monitor; not able to use it... Here is what I think might be making it this way: - Motherboard has no video, so I have graphics card installed and setup; incompatibility? I think this one is less likely since the motherboard is a gaming one... - Motherboard and RAM not working together??? Could this cause no video??? Motherboard, Memory Standard DDR2 1333: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128358 DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) 2 x 2GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145184 PLEASE HELP ME OUT! For reference here is the rest of my system setup: Core 2 Duo 3.0ghz 500GB Hitachi HDD LG CD/DVD+_RW Optical Drive PNY 9800GTX gaming graphics card |

What power supply?
If that video card requires a power connection, did you connect it? Try this: PROBLEMS with a NEW BUILD? Try This!!

thanks for the reply.
Power Supply is 700w and new, connecting, working fine--cant be the issue. I have connected it to the GPU, so thats fine; also tried a different graphics card that doesnt need power supply and no video... Thinking its RAM compatibility with Motherboard, can someone confirm this? |

That ram should work fine.
What brand power supply. Just cause it's 700w doesn't mean it's quality. Have you followed the procedure in that link yet? |

Do you have the CPU heatsink/fan installed as it should be?

OK I will try and add some more info. that will be helpful.
I tried the instructions and no use. (THANKS SO MUCH, it was way painful as well) Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341002 Graphics: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133246 Im really not sure what the problem is... But judging by what has happended, Im thinking either an issue with RAM, Motherboard, CPU (possibly fried???) I noticed in the link you gave me it said attach the two power connectors to the motherboard; 8 pin and 24 pin (right?). I have the 24 attached with makes the comp turn on, but what about the 8 pin (12volt) connector? ANY HELP would be SOO APPRECIATED |

Many new motherboards have upped the CPU power connection from 4 to 8. whether you have a 4 or 8 pin CPU connector to the mobo, it has to be connected for the PC to work.

Your graphics card needs: Two 6-pin supplementary power connectors.
With the card is installed: the two connectors will be facing you toward the back of the card. |

Didnt think the Mobo needed two power connections...the CPU needed the four pin (at least). Thanks to everyone, computer is up and running! |
