So I did a fresh OS install 3 times...

install OS, mobo bios, chipset drivers etc, then video card drivers (latest 9.4's)...system specs are in my sig.

and I get the boot up screen, and as soon as I get to desktop..."no signal"

I tried re-installing my OS and still same problem...

tried installing the older 9.2's...didn't work

tried installing the 9.3's....didn't work

tried installing 9.2's, then the 9.3's and still no display...

tried 9.2's, 9.3's and tried to install 9.4's on top of the other drivers...but couldn't do so b/c I get "no signal"

I boot into safe mode, "can't uninstall" in safe mode, physically delete all ATi files and run driver cleaner...I get to desktop but "no driver install"

I even tried installing just the driver then Catalyst Control panel...."no signal"

so I'm going bonkers right now

any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
 
Just guessing. But what PSU ya runnig? Does your ATI use a ext power? Looks like a few amps for your PSU?

But just guessing.

thanks.

Hello. Could you let me have some more details how the sequence of events when you boot to the desktop and how the picture looks and such. Does everything work in safe mode? Do you hear any beeps other than post?
 
Antec TRU 850 psu

no beeps, it boots fine in safe mode...

after the initial OS install and after all bios, chipset (everything for the mobo) have been installed and updated, as soon as I install 9.2's and reboot...I noticed that CC did not install correctly, I tried re-installing again and still didn't work...I double checked in device manager and it shows that display drivers were not correctly installed.

tried updating the drivers through the device manager and I get "your drivers are up to date"

I then try to install the 9.3's on top of the failed attempt on the 9.2's and I get the "no display" signal after I get to desktop (ie. I get the boot up screen, everything seems normal until I get to the desktop)

I also tried just the 9.4's, and once I get to the desktop, I get the "no signal" from my LCD (keep in mind I've tried all 4 different DVI ports on the GPU w/ 2 different LCD monitors

I also tried 9.2's (again didn't install correctly, but I boot to the desktop no problem), then 9.4's on top of them...."no signal"

Thanks again!
 
The fact you can get into safe mode normally means you are getting a driver conflict with Ati and another program. I understand you have a fresh install. Maybe something in the MB updates have conflicted with the Ati drivers. What do you think? Another possiblity is a bad card. I have found a bad cards will not accept drivers properly.

I don't believe it's a bad card, since my pc was working w/out any issues just days prior to refresh =(

the only thing different that I can think of is that I did not update the bios the last time around and just went w/ the current bios from the CD

...yay, gonna try again w/ out bios update and see if that works, since that's the only thing I have done different
