First of all thank you for taking the time to help me with this...onto my problem
I pulled my ram out of my computer to check to see what the speed of it was rated at because i was going to buy another stick. I had trouble getting the ram back in but i know that sometimes you need to push a little harder for it to snap in...turns out the reason it was not going in was because one of the wires that goes from my heatsink fan was under the ram and i ended up pushing hard enough to cut the wire.
I spliced the two wires back together and put the ram in properly and turned the computer on. The hs fan came on just fine (opposed to it not coming on before). Computer appeared to boot up just fine except nothing came up on the monitor. I checked the connection of the video card into the mobo and every other connection including all psu connections and IDE cables. I checked the pins in the plug coming from the monitor and all were there and none were bent. I looked and saw that the fan on my video card was spinning. I tried turning my monitor off and on and nothing (the monitor turns on but says 'no signal'). What could cause this? '
Comp specs
- Asus A7N8X Deluxe
- AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Barton
- Corsair DDR 400 512MB x 1
- Radeon 9800 pro
- 500 watt PSU
- Windows XP pro
Cliffnotes of problem:
- accidentally cut wire to HS fan (fan did not turn on)
- connected wires again (fan turned on)
- Everything is connected and getting power (including Vid card, fan spins)
- Computer stays on with everything powered up
- Nothing will show on monitor
Again thank you. Any help will be appreciated.
