Just built new computer

I turned it on and I heard the beep, but my monitor just shows its logo and then says no signal and the power button goes from green to yellow. Any solutions?

Are the CPU / ATX connections plugged in the headers?

JimF_35 · Sep 19, 2014

Well the post beep is a good sign. Does your motherboard have integrated graphics? If so plug your monitor there then go into you BIOS and set your video preference to the PCIe video.

Also if you would please list your Motherboard, GPU and PSU make and model so we know what hard ware you are working with.

I feel like there isnt anything wrong with the computer because the fans are running and i heard the beep, but i could be wrong hehe

JimF_35 · Sep 19, 2014

APU is the name given to an AMD CPU that support graphics. But, I did not say APU??? Did you mean PSU. PSU is Power Supply Unit.

Do you have the monitor connected to the GPU and not the motherboard?

Paul NZ · Sep 19, 2014

That mobo needs to have BIOS 2001 on it to support that CPU. Since it's recent. That maybe one reason why it wont stay on

True the cable has to be in the installed card not the onboard video

Clover0820 · Sep 19, 2014

I plugged the monitor blue thing into the mother board because the graphics card didnt has on of the blue connect pieces.

JimF_35 · Sep 19, 2014

Yes it does have integrated graphic. Plug your monitor into the motherboard and let us know if you have video?

tiny voices · Sep 19, 2014

No, you have to connect the monitor to the GPU, this is your problem.

tiny voices · Sep 19, 2014

JimF_35 :

He needs to remove the GPU before he does this. It should work fine if he connects the monitor to the GPU. He should have no settings that need changing at all.

Clover0820 · Sep 19, 2014

So I plug it into the graphics card? It doesnt have a blue port but it came with one uninstalled in the box.

tiny voices · Sep 19, 2014

Yes, you need to connect the monitor to the GPU. I believe it came with a DVI to VGA adapter. You can use that if you only have a VGA (blue) cable.

Clover0820 · Sep 19, 2014

Right now the monitor is plugged into the motherboard and is showing no video

tiny voices · Sep 19, 2014

Clover0820 :

Yes, do what I explained in the post above this.

Paul NZ · Sep 19, 2014

If you install a card you have to plug the cable into it. If this blue part or whatever it is isnt there put it on then plug it into the card you installed

Clover0820 · Sep 19, 2014

OH EM GEE i plugged the monitor into the blue thing that connected on top of the graphics card thing and it works!! thank you!!!!!

JimF_35 · Sep 19, 2014

tiny voices :

Sorry when I posted this he was posting at the same time and I did not see the post where he had already done this.

tiny voices · Sep 19, 2014

Clover0820 :

Glad we could sort it out for you.

Clover0820 · Sep 19, 2014

Sorry, me again. Now that I have my computer up and working, the starting temp was 91 degrees and it went up to 95 over the past 30 minutes.. I dont have windows installed yet so im just at the asus bios menu. Is this normal?

Paul NZ · Sep 19, 2014

C or F?

Clover0820 · Sep 19, 2014

Paul NZ · Sep 19, 2014

Thats around 35 C. That sounds OK to me. Are there fans in the case?
