almost New system won't boot

[artthug]

Ok here is the situation I have a new system with old Hdd and memory.

The mobo is a gigabyte micro atx GA-81856ME-775 I am using the onboard video for display.

When I boot it up I get no display and a bios beeep warning that that there is a display card/monitor error.

I am at a loss as this is the issue I had with the last system. I replaced the parts on by one trying to correct it and endend up rebulding the damn thing (exept hard drive and memory).

Anyone ever come across this?

One guess: memory. If you can, grab another stick (new, if possible) and try it in the system. It's possible that the faulty RAM might be causing the fault, especially as you used it in the last build with the same issue. Take the RAM out, and it should beep one, long continuous beep. If it does, thats a good thing. Pop the other stick in, and see what happens.

Failing that, try resetting the CMOS (jumper is normally on the bottom right of the board). If neither of those two work, let us know, and we can work beyond that.

I though of that though just didn't want to believe my memory would do it... But I just checked and it was! F**K!

Thank You...
