Please help..newbie with P5 QL Pro motherboard

[Jay_06]

Hi


There seems to be power on the whole motherboard. The cpu fan is running, the cd tray opens and the hard drive i can hear some noise. The video card fan (8800 gt) is spinning. But no beeps and no screen on monitor. I cant' get to the bios screen but a blank screen.

Also my Led lights are not on, I try the Asus q connector didnot work and I try plugging into boards also didnot work. The Hd light and power light are not on.

Is there anything I am leaving out?

Anyone has any suggestion what i can try?

Thanks for reading and helping out



I have a asus P5ql pro, quad 2.4, ocz 4 gig of ram 6400, wd 320 gig sata. Antec solo case.

Sounds like you didn't get the case connections set up right.

Also, you should have two power connections to the motherboard. A 24 pin one, and another 4 pin one near the CPU.

Did you connect the power to the 8800GT?

Hi thanks for the help

I think i did one the 24 pin connection but did not see a 4 pin one near the cpu.

Can you please tell me where the 4 pin connector is as I think i didnot connect this.

I did connect the power to the 8800 gt.

Thanks a lot

Near the CPU, right behind the keyboard and mouse PS/2 ports

Thanks Proximon

I found the 4 pin connector.

Is the power Led above the HDD Led in the Asus Q connector or the panel?

As still not getting power led.

Thanks again for the help.

Those should all be clearly labeled in both the case and the Q connector. If the Q connector is seated properly on the board and everything is plugged into it the way the labels say, then I would guess the LED is bad.

thanks, I guess the led is bad, I could live without it.

I installed window visita and everything was fine until now I install the EVGA 8800 GT drivers as Visita has it as a standard VGA display.

But now the 8800 gt fan would turn on really loud and won't boot and then shut down the PC. I press a button on keyboard and it will repeat but will not boot again.

i tried installing the pci e connector with the 3 pin connectors it included and still result was the same.

Any suggestions on what i can do next?

Thanks again.

I am using a 500 watt antec 80 plus supply. Can you please recommend me a video card i can use with this motherboard?

Thanks.
