Well, i finally rma'd the motherboard using the manufactures warranty and it came back, my system will now turn on! Yay....

Or so i thought, the new probelm i'm getting is i can't get the monitor to come up with anything. i see it keep switching from channel a to b searching for a signal but can't find it.

The Monitor is a Samsung 191T Plus, I have it connected to my XFX 9800 Gx2 video card via the DVI cable. Any thoughts to why i'm not getting a signal?

One note tho, when i boot the system up. It will run for 5 seconds then restart, after that it remains on no clue why it would do that either.

Thanks in Advance! :D

oh well better luck next time

So what I'm reading is it boots once, then resets just after entering BIOS. And stays on with no video signal after the reset. Hmm have you tried going into your bios menu at all? It seems odd that the instant it trys to access BIOS first boot it resets..

I dont follow your logic at all . You have no idea why the computer wont run , but you know its not important what kind of computer , and that its not important to describe in detail the entire situation
HMMMMMM

anyway lets see if we can help
1/ I assume you just assembled this entire computer from scratch with all new components?

2/ is it actually POSTING , and making an audible beep from the mb speaker you have attached to the correct header on the mb ?

This checklist in addition to the motherboard owners manual are the first place to start:

#2 on the checklist is the most common mistake.

Have you gone through all the other steps in the checklist? There are a lot more common mistakes that can be resolved by going through the entire checklist. There are a lot of posts just like this every day. That's why the checklist was created. If you really perform every step in the checklist and still have problems then we can go from there. You're usually dealing with DOA hardware at that point.

You probably had a screw or something shorting the board; it fell out when you stood it upright.
