I can't get any display signal from my mobo. I swapped all my stuff into a new case, but the computer had been running flawlessly right before I took it apart. I don't have any idea what the cause of this is, but I think it is the AGP slot because I have 2 video cards , and neither would give me any signal. Please help me, I do not want to ahve to buy another mobo.
 
I have seen this problem caused by having the mem modules in the wrong order on the board. For instance, the MB wants them in slots 1&3 and you have them in 1&2.

It could also be that your MB is grounding out on something. Try taking everything out of the box and setting it on a slab of wood and try to boot it up there.

good luck
 
ok, so I tried both of those and still a no-go...anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks for trying to help atleast :rolleyes:
 
i tried it on my other monitor also, and no signal...I am completely clueless! I would like to have my computer running as the one I am on is a Pentium 200mhz w/ windows 98.
 
Can you describe what the computer does when you turn it on? Do the fans run? Does the motherboard beep? Any lights turn on or off? Does the powersupply show any sign of life? Is the computer plugged in? Does your outlet work? :D Just some troubleshooting ideas...
 
When i turn on the computer, everything runs as normal, I just have no signal. The fans all turn on, the PSU is running, the CPU fan works. I am clueles.
 
Get any strange beeps before? As I have found out the hard and incredibly painful way, if you fry your CPU, basically the mb won't be telling you much about it. Usually, in the split second before the CPU starts to actually kind of melt, it gets out a long beep, then that's all you ever get. You'd be simply amazed how easy it is to cook a CPU, just one slight bump in the wrong place. *sigh*
 
Have you tried resetting the bios? Also, with your case swap did you get a new power supply? If so, try using your old power supply.
 
I ahve reset thew bios, and I didn't use a new PSU. I haven't heard any strange beeps either. Is there any way to tell if I fried the CPU?
 
At this point, all you can do is start replacing components until you get the system working again.

It is possible that during moving your components to the new case, static electricity zapped something. Maybe you should get a grounding strap for the next time you work on the machine.

Good luck and I hope its not too expensive for you.
 
Well, with AMDs you can tell if it's fried just by looking at the thing. The dye kind of melts and runs around a bit so you can tell. It should be nice and neat around the core. (They probably did this on purpose due to too many people frying chips.) I don't know about P4, but I imagine it works similarily enough.

Probably he's right. You'll have to just pull out all nonessentials, test it, then replace one thing at a time with a different thing until you figure it out. Probably the mb or the CPU I would imagine though. Without strange beeps, more likely the mb.
