Having some trouble figuring out why my new computer isn't working. A friend is helping me (since I'm no expert), but wanted to see if anyone here had some advice.
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
ASRock 775 Dual-VSTA
2g Corsair DDR PC3200
2 WD Raptor 74g HDs
Radeon x850XT AGP
Dell 21" Widescreen LCD
The problem is I'm not getting any video signal. System turns on, HD's spin, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere. . . no beeps, no video. I don't have much to swap out for testing, because my old system was AMD. I've heard some people say the mobo needs to be patched to version 1.7, but I can't even get it running to patch it. Defective CPU? Compatibility issues with my vid card? I'm at a bit of a loss. Any suggestions would be welcome by this confused gal! Thanks!!
