Hey everyone i just bought a new computer the other day from tigerdirect and i've been having a bit of trouble with the thing.. ive probably tried everything i know and i'm not really a noob at building computer considering i have built 3 (not a pro but i have some knowledge) my specs are:

Aspire 500w Blue Aluminum See Through Power Supply
Aspire X-Cruiser Case w/o Power Supply-Black
WD Caviar SE 320GB EIDE HD 7200/8MB/ATA-100
OCZ XTC 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz
Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4Ghz 2M 1066FSB Socket
ECS nForce 570 SLIT-A Socket 775 Motherboard
EVGA GeForce 7900 GTO 512MB PCIe w/Dual DVI/RoHS

i have called EVGA and they said its probably not a problem with the video card.. now im not even getting a POST screen or a beep from the computer... but everything starts up the hard drive, dvd drive, everything! just no signal... any help would be appericated!
 
Have you tried a different monitor?
Are you able to try the video card in another computer?
 
i'm trying to see if a friend can take out his vid card and let me put mine in his cpu, ive already called EVGA and they said that it doesnt sound like its a card problem but to try anyways into another computer and try most of my stuff in other computers, witch to me isnt a good enough answer considering i paid enough money for stuff that doesnt work right out of the box.....

and i have tried it on my moms dell, my acer, and a prima 32inch lcd tv

The thing is eVGA is making sure that it is indeed their videocard causing the issue, and not any of the many other components in your system. If it does end up being their card, they'll replace it no problem; I've gone through their RMA service and it's excellent.

Just to double-check: you've made sure to plug in the 6-pin PCI-E power connector to the 7900? Also, make sure to give a different powersupply a try; those Aspire units aren't very good quality.
 
never thought about a power supply, but even with just the main things running to the board to make just main components run such as motherboard gpu and cpu the god damn thing still doesnt give me a POST or even any motherboard beeps

Well at the very least running the card in another system will shed some light on your system. Perhaps it's just the vid card!
 
hopefully, but then again its going to take a week or two to get a new card witch is a pain in the ass.

Well they overnighted my replacement 7900GT. May not be their policy for all RMAs, but if you don't mind they'll probably crosship (they put a hold on your credit card the value of the card, send out a new one, you send them the broken one in the box they sent you, and the hold is taken off).
 
thats awesome, hopefully it will be the same way, im thinking its either my video card or its my motherboard... brand new ECS motherboard
 
I'm thinking its the ECS board and the Aspire PSU. OR, maybe that OCZ gold kit you got... what voltage does it run? do you have another stick of DDR2 lyin around? if so, try that. if it posts, set the vdimm to whatever the ocz sticks need, then try the ocz sticks. i think the vdimm required by the ocz sticks is too high... also, the gold sticks dont play nice with everybody.
 
yea i dont have any other ddr2 ram sticks laying around...

just found this do u think this has anything to do with it ?

BIOS Name BIOS for NFORCE 570 SLIT-A SLI (PCB:5.x)
Version 06/09/09
Release Date 2006/09/09
Update Description -update NVMM form "4.063.07 07/28/2006" to "4.063.14 09/08/2006" auto down speed DDRII memory from 800 to 667
-fix 667 to 533 one memory dimm
-Add CedarMill D0 stepping CPU temperature adjust function
-Fix press SATA channel IDE Auto-Detection in setup will hang......

*edit* just made my way down to futureshop and picked up another stick of slower DDR memory... plugged it in hoping for success and no luck... by now i thought iu would even get a post screen or even a beep out of the motherboard.. im starting to think its the motherboard
 
Just found out from the IT guy that it is my motherboard from ECS... so witch means i have to RMA... how long do you think that will take and how do i go about that?
