problem with my motherboard

[unreal111]

Hi
i bought this motherboard ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2 from newegg, but when i hooked up everything like, athlon 3000+ cpu, samsung pc2700, with 7800gtx pci-x and also i tried geforce 5500 pci, and they both give me same message: "The moniter is in power saving mode, please activate using pc."

it doesnt even post any BIOS. graphic card does power on and they both work in a different pc.

so can you guys help.

Do you hear any beeps when you turn power on ?
Are you 100% sure your mobo is properly connected and getting power ?

 

[unreal111]

no there is no beep, and wires are connected.

its like moniter is not getting any signal, but the graphic card (fan turns on, plus i tried in my friends house and it works) is working and i also made sure that moniter wire is connected.

thanks

I had a similar problem and turned out to be a fried CPU

 

[unreal111]

no its not the cpu, it works with my old 939 motherboard.

Maybe try resting the BIOS (CMOS reset) to default ? (see user manual)

Did you hook up all the power connectors? There's a 4-pin AUX connector nearby.

Does your video card need a power connector?

Most likely culprits:
1. Improperly connected power in the system. Read the mobo manual and make sure that power is properly connected in the system.
2. Mobo is shorted somewhere. Make sure there are no unused mobo mounting stanchions. If there aren't, then remove the mobo form the case, place it on a non-conducting surface (old phone books work good) and start the system.
3. Bad mobo or bad PSU.
4. Read the FAQ The basic t/s techniques for this common problem are contained in the FAQ at the top of the Mobo General forum.
