Hi!

I'm in need of some good technical troubleshooting skills to solve my mobo problem

I've been having RAM issues and decided to "Load Fail-safe defaults" in the BIOS to see if my RAM issues would go away.

The moment I loaded those "fail-safe" settings my screen went into "no signal" mode and I cant get it back on.

This is what I have done so far

Cleared the CMMOS about 10 times with the jumper settings.

Cleared CMMOS and removed the backup battery 3 times

Cleared CMMOS and removed the backup battery AND removed the ATX connections on the motherbord..

Nothing helps, I get no video signal at all, tried different screens and no show.

I have removed the graphic card and re-installed it, no luck


What can I do more? damnit this isnt suppose to happen when you choose fail-safe settings!

/cry

Thanks
 
1) pull out everything that's not absolutely necessary for boot; e.g., leave only 1 stick of RAM
2) reseat the GPU and all your mobo connectors
3) look for install goofs (connectors wrong, heatsink or stand-off shorts, etc.)
4) if you have a dvm, check the PSU for proper outputs
 
Yep. Do what clocker suggested & for God's sake, create a signature of your system specs so we can better help you.

Was your system running before you started making changes?
 
Got it working now

Found the bad RAM and switched modul spot and its up and running again


thanks for the tips
 
the ram was not most likely bad, but couldnt boot at 1.8 volts. sometimes u have to cycle through ur sticks and try one in each slot and u might lucky and get it to boot once (since it defaults to 1.8 volts), then quickly go into the bios and set it to 2.0 or 2.1 volts whatever is correct. then shut it off, put the rest of the sticks in and your good to go.
