howdy buddy
i have just finished my rig, but When it is all put together, the system turns on, but I get no picture on my monitor at all. The phase LEDs on the montherboard (which are supposed to monitor CPU load) are all lit whenever the system is on (should this be so?). I have disconnected everything but the RAM, CPU & HSF, video card, WD hard drive, but still the same thing. I also tried re-seating the CPU - but have the same problem. I removed the CPU, and when I turn the mobo on the LEDs are all lit, which seems weird as the LEDs are supposed to monitor CPU activity. Any suggestions? Anyone know how and when those LEDs are supposed to light up?

On my EP35-DS3R the LEDs light during POST and extinguish as the OS comes to life. I have read this is normal. Have you connected power to the PSU 4 pin connector? Is the monitor plugged in (power & video card) & turned on? Sorry if this seems silly! What is your video card? Are you using the correct socket? Can you try another (known working) monitor?
