Hello guys.
My nephew just bought a new system from new egg (well the parts of course) and I put it together the other night. I checked cpu/memory countability with the mobo mfg's website (gigabyte) and everything was a-ok according to them. Well I put it all together and have encountered two problems.
A1) there is no picture. The monitor stays in low power mode.
The Video card has 2 dvi connections while the monitor is standard VGA so we are using the VGA-DVI adapter that CAME WITH the video card. GeForce 9200 (i forget what brand)
A2) I'm really puzzled as to why I don't get any video signal. I have tried plugging the monitor into both of the DVI and it doesn't matter which one. the monitor does not come out of power save mode.
A3) the video card does not require additional power from the PSU, there is no plug on the card and the GPU fan seems to be spinning at normal rate.
B1) CD-Rom doesn't work. I used the CD Rom from his old computer (was working just fine) it is connected to the IDE and is the only device on the chain. It is plugged into power but it doesn't work. The led on the front does not turn on and I can't eject the drawer to put a CD in.
B2) I have tried multiple power connectors but I do not believe it is a PSU issue.
The computer does not make any beeping noises when it boots up so I don't think there are any memory or undetected HD issues.
Would appreciate any suggestions. This would be my 6th computer build from scratch and I've never experienced a problem like this.
