Hello all!
I have just purchased a new AsRock mobo, but I can't get it to output any video at all through the onboard VGA. I have followed the steps within the troubleshooting thread you have here, but nothing worked for me.
What it does now is the following:
It powers on, fans start spinning. All the connected LED's work. No beeps, but the built in speaker works (tried it with no RAM, got 3 beeps). The screen receives a signal, loses it again, regains it and stays that way on a blank screen. I know that it's a blank, black screen because it differs from when it's not connected.
It's hooked up to an MS-N920-VAL-CM 920 Watt PSU, an AMD A4 3400 cpu and 1 DDR3 1333 Mhz RAM stick.
This is what I've tried so far:
1) Power up with just the cpu, cpu fan, both psu/mobo connectors and one stick of ram placed in all possible slots with the same effect. No SATA ports connected or any other auxiliary connections apart from the powerbutton connector.
2) Powered up without the RAM, this results in 3 long beeps, which complies with the missing RAM beep code.
3) Powered up with 2 SATA connectors (one hdd, one cd-drive with the driver cd that came with it inserted. Tried with the cddrive connected into the first slot.
4) reset the cmos with the jumper and the battery
5) tried a different psu, same effect
6) tried 2 different RAM sticks to make sure it wasn't a bad one.
7) basically all that the other main thread suggested, without luck.
I hope someone here can help me, I got it from an online shop and I'd hate to go through all of the mess of sending it back and such...
