Gay Motherboard?

[Clouds_mate]

Building new machine. All connected ok.

PSU powers up, all fans kick in, Graphics card (built in) doest bring monitor out of standby nor does it appear to bring Harddrives to power up.

Gay yes?

[Barry123]

defo a homo.

[Clouds_mate]

close to smashing the fucking thing up.

New monitor is the sex (running off laptop atm)

[Barry123]

is this the 22" you were asking about?

I had similar problem and just pulled everything and put it together again... proper geeky solution y0.

[Clouds_mate]

Yep monitor is lovely. Not sure what to do about this PC highly fucked off

[Paul]

Does the pc work on other monitors?

[Barry123]

go to a minimal hardware install. I had time where a duff HD refused to let my comp start up

so just a single IDE device, cpu, psu, no other devices.

if you've got another g' card knocking around try that

[Clouds_mate]

tried different psu, one IDE device different IDE cable

unable to try different card as i dont have one in this fitment.

removed battery

loads of different shit.

[Barry123]

homo mobo then almost certainly.

was it mail order or from somewhere shit like Pcworld?

[Clouds_mate]

also i doubt Hard drives have failed. as they havnt been removed from the case.

Seems very slim both brake.

Its from CCL. but its a good 30mins from my house and will have to go on my lunch. Its just massive hassles to get it sorted.

[Paul]

Nevermind.

[Alex]

Is there a jumper that has to be set to use the on-board VGA?

[Clouds_mate]

Not that im aware of, but that wouldnt effect the hard drive power would it?

[Alex]

Are all the power plugs in correctly, 20pin 4pin etc.

I remember when i changed my CPU cooler i forgot to plug in the 4pin so when i tried to boot i got no display.

[DarylVTR]

That sounds to me like faulty RAM ....... if it was faulty HDD the system would still boot to the BIOS screen.

If you have 2 sticks of RAM try each on their own, if you only have 1, try it in a different DDR Bank.

Never heard of a jumper on the board to enable onboard VGA its usually just default unless disabled in the BIOS.

I had a faulty motherboard which didnt boot before so that could be faulty if you have no luck with the RAM. Is the CPU brand new aswell?

[nufc_lad]

This is why im put of building a pc..if something fooks up i woudnt know where to start on fixing it

[Paul]

Exactly what i thought. Thats why i asked if it worked on a different monitor, but got ignored so gave up giving help.

It's pretty straight forward, main thing to watch out for is static electricity.

Also, I wouldn't have thought faulty memory would effect display output.

I cant say ive EVER come across an static electric problem, you can pritty much man handle all pc components and they will still work, those days are over! Never seen any techys using an anti-static wrist strap these days!

Its got to be faulty RAM, CPU or motherboard. Id say 80% of the time its faulty RAM though.

I have got to use anti static straps in uni when working on computers.:homme:

[Alex]

Better safe than sorry :)

[DarylVTR]

It is indeed but its highly unlikely ESD will be a problem these days unless you are REALLY heavy handed or decide to hoover the dust out of your case!!! lol - That has happened be4!

Try the RAM and get back to us

[Clouds_mate]

Tested with different ram as i bought more then 1 stick.

The system was ready built cpu and such all put together.

all that had to do was stick the mobo into the case.

So tested....

different harddrive
different IDE cables
different RAM
different PSU
removed Battary

erm think thats about it.

Cant think of anything else it could be? It just boots up no noise from anything apart from the fans in the system

[Clouds_mate]

no need to be a cunt.

i didnt see your msg.

I had a pc with three motherboards pieces of kit every where.

GF nagging in my ear about the mess and a laptop battery that was dying and needed help.

dont cry.

[Scattle]

Leckie I think it's your motherboard then imo... have a read here

[Clouds_mate]

ahhh thats a thing......

The beep, is that a nose the mobo makes or a case from the case that is conected mobo?

[Clouds_mate]

link helps buddy cheers.

[Scattle]

no worries.

[Clouds_mate]

pissed off. Wasted a full night fucking about with it.
Hands are cut to bits from the case and have blood all over my work shirt.
Now have to worry about getting back out to the shop tomorrow some time to get the parts back and change them and hopefully that will resolve the issue. (if it doesnt i have no idea its gotta)

[Scattle]

Is a Bummer that, hoepfully it will work.

[Paul]

You saw everyone elses apart from mine, alright. Anyways. Chill out son.

Did you just say its beeping when its turning on? Is it a constant beeping? If it is then its the RAM.

I know you've said you checked ram btw.

[DarylVTR]

If it was a bundle dont the shop pre test it?

[Robb]

congratulations, youve just made your own. :d

Try a different harddrive in it mate :y:

[2Fast]

Sounds like you have power issues :) Check the Watt's against the PSU and the motherboard. If there isnt enough power through the "homomobo" then it will not send the signal to the monitor to get it powered up, There is a jumper on M/b depending on the model if thats in the wrong place this will not send the signal to the monitor either.

Are there any LED's on the mobo? if so check the manual as they will flash in a specific order that tells you wat the problem may be. Or beeps...I havnt read every post about this as im late for work :)

Go through all the wiring one cable on the wrong way will cause endless problem and if this has happened chances are you could have fried the board already and its about as much use as tits on a goldfish

[Clouds_mate]

tested with a different PSU both powerful enough to run the system. Plus iv tested it without any other power outgoings just the mobo.

No beeps as i didnt connect the speaker to the case.

The manual is a big sheet of paper its shit and gives you no information at all.

[2Fast]

What make/model is it?

[Clouds_mate]

no idea mate, all the boxes are in the car now.
