I built a computer from parts this week, but I haven't gotten it to output any video. The computer will power on. Case LEDs and fans will turn on. The video card and CPU fans both turn on. There are four LEDs on the motherboard labelled 1-4 which all come on. I do not have a system speaker, so I have not heard any beeps. This is my first complete homebuild.
I have gone through the no boot checklist thoroughly.
My Components:
PSU: CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-650HX 650W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power
CPU: Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80605I5750
Video Card: XFX HD-575X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P55-USB3 LGA 1156 Intel P55 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT25664BA1339
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Final Thoughts:
- I have tried three different monitors and a second known-good video card (no effect)
- I have removed the motherboard battery to reset the CMOS (no effect)
- I have not seen the BIOS screen or any other visual information that a computer puts on a monitor
Tomorrow morning I will test the video card in a known-good computer, what else can I do?
