Need motherboard help please

[argoth]

I just got the new amd64 fx with the a7n8x-e motherboard and i hooked everythin up and it does run but the video doesn't come up on the screen. I've tried 2 different known good video cards but neither one of them seem to work. I was hoping someone could tell me some things to try to see if something is wrong or i'm just being stupid. Thanks

Maybe your agp slot is bad? (just a thought)

 

[argoth]

i thought that too but that isn't what i wanted to hear lol how do u know if it's bad because i'll send it back if i'm sure

Howard's Beep list might bee of use to you:

My guess if it's beeping no video, then the board is OK and the AGP card isn't sitting just right, or the mobo is refusing to befriend it. If there isn't a beep sequence and there is no video, then it's certainly time to return the board and pray that it hasn't dammaged either of the video cards you tested.

A7N8X-E is an Athlon XP mainboard, not for Athlon 64s.

sorry about that

my motherboard is a sk8v motherbaord i was looking at my brother's book because it was right by

That motherboard is meant to run a Socket-940 CPU, is that what you have ? It will not run with a Socket-939 Athlon64-FX.

about the video thing

it doesn't give me any video beeps or anything like that i hooked up speakers to the onboard sound and that didn't tell me what was wrong either. I'm running a 400 wat power supply so it should be enough power to run the computer

 

[argoth]

yup

it's the 940 it's the 64 fx 53

Try doing a ClearCMOS. & btw, are you using Registered memory ?
