Hello everybody, I am trying to build my first PC and I encountered some problems. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hardware:
CASE+PSU: iCAN PE-2001 Mid ATX Case with 350W Power Supply
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition (125W) Quad Core Socket AM3, 3.2GHz, 8Mb Cache, 1800MHz HT, 45nm (HDZ955FBGMBOX)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 Socket AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 Chipset ATI Radeon HD3000 Graphics Dual-Channel DDR3 1333/1066/800 Mhz 7.1- Channel HD Audio Gigabit LAN 4x SATA 3Gb/s 12x USB 2.0 Micro ATX
RAM: G-Skill 2GB DDR3 1333MHz (2 sticks of ram so 4GB total)
VIDEO: Asus EAH5450 SILENT/DI/1GD3(LP) ATI Radeon HD 5450 Chipset (650MHz) 1GB (800Mhz) GDDR3 Dual Display DVI/HDMI/D-Sub PCI-Express 2.1 Graphics Card
Problem:
Computer powers up, CPU fans spin, HDD and CD drives both power up. Monitor is a blank screen (and power light on the monitor keeps flashing like its sleeping). Also there are no beeps.
What I tried:
- Made sure motherboard was sitting on pegs properly (no short anywhere)
- Removed the RAM.. no beeps
- Removed the CMOS battery and put it back in, no luck.
- Reseated processor, checked for bent pins
- Monitor + VGA cable works (using it right now)
- Removed Video card and I'm using on board VGA now
At this point I am fresh out of ideas, and I really dont want to think the motherboard or CPU is fried Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, and thank you to all responders in advance!
