Ok so I come into work this morning fire up one of the workstations and HELLO nothing. Then power comes on all the activity lights are on and flashing. I have power to everything but I cannot get anything on the monitor, It stays in the no display mode. I swapped video cards only to have the sme result I have a Chaintech 7NJL6 nVidia Socket A ATX Motherboard, 512MB viking and ATI Radeon 9800 vid card in this machine. I was thinking that possibly the cmos battery in completely dead but I'm really not to sure. Any help would be awesome from you guys! thanks in advance
 
you have any other parts to test with....diff power supply would be my first thing
try diff ram....unplug all parts, hdd. cd roms, leave only psu, ram, cpu, vid card, on see what u get...one of those 3 (you tried diff vid card) are prolly bad.
also, try reseating the ram. ive seen that work b4
do you get any beeps?
 
no indicator beeps. I did unplug everything as you said and only left power supply, ram, mobo and vid on. Still the same result. I swapped ram sticks as well. Bad mobo maybe?
 
I'd have said mobo from the start. It's happened to me several times, all the fault of the MB.
 
Kind of a bum out if so. Any suggestions? if not new MoBo it is. All these components are relatively new which kinda sucks. :D
 
I suggest going on our FS/FT board and buying a used NF7-S, A7N8X, etc.

Or, if you can, borrow another motherboard from a different machine and try it on that one.
 
ya..down to the board then...is it still under warranty?...
you said relativley new parts
and steer away from chaintech IMO
 
yea im trying to get it RMA'd. bastards. I havent liked this board since the get go. I think its just odd cause everything turns on and boots up. Who knows......... Thanks alot guys
