    ANybody any idea? New computer system but no video signal on boot up

    m2n32 ws pro asus motherboard
    GeForce 8800GTX 768Mb video card

    Everything seems to work. Drives, fans etc but i simply get display.

    It really looks like either the video card is kaput or the motherboard. Which in both cases would suck very much.

    Any other possibilities?

          Did you build it? If so make certain all the screws holding the mother board in place are correct, or get sit the mobo outside the case and see if it boots. Also make sure your memory is tightly in its channels.

              and make sure that the heatsink and fan are properly seated on the cpu.

                  The screws can mess up the signal?

                  The memory is fine yeah.

                      I triple checked that part. Sure its not that.

                      The screws got me thinking....

                                  No it does not. But is that beep supposed to come from the motherboard? I didnt attach any internal speaker cords to it.

                                  About the screws: I took the MB out and tried again but that didnt help.

                                          Is the memory suitable for that board/cpu? I've had the same problem in the past

                                                          Have you tried other memory cards in it? or if you have 2 or 3 try swapping them over 1 at a time, it really sounds like a memory problem to me franck

I had to send back like a dozen sticks to them for them to flash the chips with an update, fixed the problem whatever it was. In the interim before I got them back I had switched to corsair ram, had no trouble at all posting then.

Try to plug speakers/headphones to the sound jacks on the board (try them all) and see if you hear an error message. I had an asus board some years ago that did that, a female voice repeated the error over and over.

                                                                                                                                              either plug your monitor's cable to the other one on the back of your PC or take the GForce out and try again, if it works then put it back in and you have to go to your bios settings and change them to use the gforce and not the on-board one

                                                                                                                                                          either plug your monitor's cable to the other one on the back of your PC or take the GForce out and try again, if it works then put it back in and you have to go to your bios settings and change them to use the gforce and not the on-board one
