ITs copy'ed from EVEREST!
I heard one thing - flash bios! Is this can help

Reply to Egils327


Do NOT Flash the Bios !
Only ever flash a bios if the new version has a specific fix for a problem you are having. Just flashing or updating a bios for the hell of it is the quick way to a expensive door stop. (Thats all te PC will be good for if it goes wrong).

First thing i am wondering is if your power supply is up to the job or not. Can you let us know the make and model ?

Reply to mactronix

do you have your speaker connected to your chassis? does it make beep sounds when you boot up? if it does, you should count the beeps, and look in your manual to see what it means

Reply to eklipz330

Mactronix: i have 350w "HEC" model!
I have tried add 550w power supply.
And i tested my card on 300w but diffrent motherboard.
Some guys said i need flash bios.

power supply too low it looks like?

although 550w should have worked

If there is a specific fix listed in the bios updates, e.g added support for latest gfx cards or....i dunno it might work. WOuldnt of thought it would be a bios issue however

Reply to tomdrum

i just updated bios!

I have tried everything! :/

Reply to Egils327

make sure you are using the right power (4pin - 8 pin) on your motherboard and video card - Second - eliminate hardware possiblities - other video cards you can swap out for a moment?

I've had this happen to me many times - usually a cable i missed.

4 pin and 8 pin is a cable now with new psu to power the cpu.


also what card are to you trying to install. if it them new one, they need a specific power souces from the psu (e.g pci-e 16 4/6 pin or agp 10 pin (?))

so state your card

Reply to greenberet1990

Reply to Egils327

Reply to Egils327

About that Psu, i have unplugged wire - on that wire have whrite - 4P

Reply to Egils327

Probably the video card is faulty perhaps? Do you have another computer? Try the new video card with the other computer.

Reply to John Vuong

yes, i have tried it on my firends mobo!

Hmm I actually have this exact same issue.

Nvidia 9600 GT (SuperClock) PCI-E DVI TV - Oct 18th Nvidia Driver
Monitor - LG Flatron Wide
550W Power Supply

Flatron has worked for the past 9 months, installed the new nvidia driver from october, rbooted, then it stalled with the HD light on and the computer would just hang there doing nothing. Shut computer down, unplugged the LG Flatron Widescreen and plugged in an Acer AL1916. Computer booted fine 3 times in a row.

If someone has any suggestions that would be great. I'm going to try the Bigger monitor again.

EDIT: After seeing your monitor, it looks like the flatron monitor may be the issue as I have the exact same problem with my flatron.
