ok.. So the Ram and Hard-drive are not causing problems (both tested).. also the power supply is brand new (about 8 hours old).. So I assume it is my motherboard... but I dont really know..The fan on the video card is running normally... the CPU fan is running normally... there is a LED on the motherboard that is lit.. no sounds coming from the board... Ive called support they said RMA it.. But I was wondering if that is really the problem.

It just doesnt project image/keyboard doesnt light up with num lock...
ANY IDEAS? ANY QUESTIONS?



I just realized that I DID in fact update the chipset before having problems.. I have tried removing the battery from the motherboard as well.
 
Just trying to clarify...

a.) You get no image on your screen when turning the PC on?
b.) Your keyboard doesn't light up at all at any point during boot?

Also... What video card do you have in that system?
 
Correct I get no Image and the Keyboard does not light up..

Sorry I did forget the video card..
Nvidia 7800GT (FAN IS WORKING)
 
Simple stuff first: Check all your cables and connections and secure them.

Don't plug anything into the USB ports except the essentials.
When you push the power button to things light up on your case? Does the HDD spin up and the BIOS beep something?

If you're getting power and it seems your PC is booting try a different monitor and/or video cable if possible.

If your mouse and keyboard are USB try different ports like the front instead of rear.
 
HD disk is spinning.. fans are working.. light on motherboard is working.. cdrom is spinning.. but no video/keyboard does not respond.. no usb is plugged in.
 
I really need some help with this.. I already bought this new Power supply and Really dont know if I should try motherboard/cpu/video repair.. and frankly its driving me insane..

The computer powers up.. but no Image..Fans spin on CPU and Video Card... The Hard-Drive Boots..and the ram is fine...Im thinking it is... CPU or Motherboard.. but I need help
 
Do you know for a fact that that monitor is good? Have you tried it on another PC?
Do you know for a fact that that video card is good? Can you test it in another PC?
Is that video card supported by your motherboard? Applies to AGP cards, if it's a x2 and your motherboard only supports x4 and above thats your problem.
Have you reset the BIOS (cleared the CMOS) with the motherboard jumper.
If you have make sure it's back in the correct position. If you just put this rig together you may want to go over all the jumper settings to make sure it's all setup correctly. Especially the clock/front side bus frequency. Your not overclocking are you?
Do you get any beep codes at startup? If you don't get any beep codes and nothing on the screen I would be thinking video card problem. It's the first BIOS to show up on the monitor. I would unplug and or remove everything except the processor, one stick of ram, and the video card. May want to remove the video card and re-insert it again to make sure it's in good and tight. I would re-seat the ram too. If you have more than one stick, try one then the other if it still won't boot.
 
Have you also checked to ensure your system speaker is connected to the mobo?

You could be getting a beep code that tells you the problem.
