Ok this sounds like a pain in the but deal to us. we just were able to get the computer started at my house as we had the same problem. what we did was take out the mobo and remove all the parts. i checked for grounding issues and found no such problem, used a psu tester and it turned out fine. we both replaced the mobo and was well grounded ourselves and then replaced the components. well then the issue arose after we did this that the video card (8800 gtx) did not want to cooperate. we figured it was a bad card or a bad pci-e slot. we were able to boot with a geforce5200 card with no problem off a pci-slot. once i was able to flash the mobo bios (evga revision a1) with the new p32, i loaded defaults and still no signal to monitor off 8800 but got the 5200 to work just fine. after being able to get into the bios...we adjusted settings to make sure that pci-e was totally enabled and the memory voltage was set to 2.0V (corsair dominator).
it booted fine at my house and we were able to get up and running with only the 8800 card installed. let it stay up 15-20 minutes and no freezing.
we shut down properly and we also updated the 8800 gtx video driver to 169.21.
now my friend has the computer at home. it froze, went to 7f post led code on mobo, with a long beep, then boots to ff (code for success posting) but no signal to monitor.
can someone please help us?...this is very frustrating as i have followed as much advice as possible and syustem specs are below.
680i mobo by evga revision A1
windows xp sp2 with all updates installed
evga 8800 gtx ultra (1)
150 GB wd raptor
thermaltake 1Kw power supply
corsair dominator DDR2 memory 2 GB (2 x 1GB)
thermaltake liquid cooling on the processor
e6600 processor (2.4 GHz) core 2 duo-not overclocked in anyway
benq dvd-dl rewriter
6 fans (3 along the front of radiator, 3 inside chassis) all working and spinning
connections are all tight
the voltage along the rails is flowing at 12.10 V(for the 8800 gtx)
temps are hovering around CPU at 33-39 degrees celsius
MCP is around 45 degrees celsius
8800 gtx card is using cooling that came with card
it seems evga has no idea what the problem is on their site or froum or not many are experiencing it. can someone help b4 we have to again RMA a mobo or rma a video card?
What did we miss?
