Hi All,

I just built a very brand new pc. Before i get into anything let me clear this up i have built a pc before and was building a new one so i kinda do kno what i am doing. I just got the parts from newegg a little while ago the parts are as follows:

Socket 939 Venice Core Processor 3000+
Gigabyte K8 Triton SLI Mobo Socket 939
Leadtek 7600 GS Video Card
2* 512mb sticks of ram
160 GB hard drive
2 CD Drives

Anyway to get to the point i just put together this pc and i am sure i did everything correctly but when i turn on the computer i get nothing on the screen, the lights light up, the video card fan spins, the heatsink fan spins, i just dont know whats wrong with it.

I kno you guys gonna tell me to check my ram but believe me its not that i had 2* 512 sticks of ram in my pc before i started building it a few hours ago and it worked fine put it on the new mobo and it dont work and plus i had two brand new sticks of ram for another computer that i put in there it still dont work. I also switched the ram that i know works in other slots still no luck.

I just want to know what you guys think could be wrong, since its not the ram do you guys think it could be the video card?? I am all out of clues of what could be wrong i even tried switching slots of the video card and still had no luck. :confused:

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! :D

Thank you,
John

I am going to try it in another pc to see if i have the same problems if not i know its something i did wrong. :rolleyes:

check all the cables first,
second i had a problem like this when i built my g/f's pc, kinda similar setup, try plugging in the p4 connector on the mobo see if it posts.. for some odd reason with her mobo i had to plug that in or it would not post and its not a p4 :p
 
Nope not the P4 connector either just plugged it back in still not seeing anything. hmm it sounds like it everything is working and stuff but i just cant see anything and dont have no other pc with pci-e slots gonna try a friends pc later on see what happens.

try resetting the bois, if that does not work, take mobo out and make sure nothing is grounding, and put it back together
 
Nope just cleared it i cleared it earlier also and i still have no luck only thing left to try is the video card. and i am going to take everything out now see what happens.

i would just tell u the name of the powersupply brand but i cant make it out. :D Take a look at the pics for the picture of the powersupply
 
Hey Great news i put my video card in another computer and it works, but the problem is i still dont see anything on my computer.... So now we trying to figure out if its either my motherboard or my the dvi to vga adaptor peice because my friend had a dvi monitor and didnt use vga cable. But i dont think its the motherboard because my video card fan and heatsink fans spin and stuff but well we will see.
 
Just tried a new powersupply its not that, its not the RAM i just put the same RAM in a different pc and it booted fine, its not the video card i put the video card in a different computer and that works, the only thing is the motherboard maybe the ram slots are faulty or the pci-e slots are faulty i dont know if i cant think of anything else soon i am going to send the motherboard back and get a new 1. :( thats a bummer now i gotta wait for another motherboard. If you still have any other suggestions please post them as i said allready i allready ruled out the RAM, Monitor, Power Supply, Video Card.
 
what was your replacement psu? did you try assembling with cpu/ram/gpu/mobo/psu and nothing else outside of the case?

did you get any error beeps from the motherboard?

as for the RAM did you check gigabyte's website to see if your particular ram is compatbile with your motherboard?

if you're still having problems when your new motherboard arrives let us know.
 
Nope no beeps on my motherboard computer was completley silent except for fans spining and stuff. I didnt check gigabyte's website my older motherboard was gigabyte and it worked fine plus my friend put his ram in same problem. Um just going to wait a little bit more to see if anyone could fix it or something before i send it back.
 
Hmm, sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your new build. I would do what the other person said and take it out of the case and make sure that nothing is shorting out. If not, look up more on that guys solution.
 
yeah its no problem now that it seems i have found a solution hopefully it works. Yeah i allready took everything out though put it back still had no luck but hopefully i could find a pci card laying around somewhere pick it up and hope it works wonders. I was actually thinking of doing this earlier on but then i thought well if the pci-e card dont work then the pci wouldnt either..............Hey to me its all part of building a pc even though i would have loved for it to work the first time.
