Hi everyone,
As title explained, my computer started, everything seemed to run fine but couldn't connect to a monitor.
These are the components, all brand new:
Motherboard: ASUS M4A77T (http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A77T/)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T retail pack with heat sink (http://shop.amd.com/US/_layouts/shop/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=HDT90ZFBGRBOX®ion=en-us)
RAM: CORSAIR 8GB XMS 1333MHZ CL9 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390323487102)
Video Card: ASUS Radeon 6850HD (also tried a SAPPHIRE HD5450 but didn't work either)
Power Supply: G7 Power Extreme 680W (http://www.maplin.co.uk/680w-g7-power-extreme-atx-psu-345571)
Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200rpm SATA (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/15250267/Samsung-Spinpoint-F3-HD103SJ-1TB-3-5-inch-Internal-SATA-Hard-Drive/Product.html?_%24ja=tsid:11518|cat:15250267|prd:15250267)
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster P2450H (http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/pc-peripherals/monitors/design/LS24LRZKUV/EN/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail)
Full Story:
I bought the parts separately and got them all yesterday. Read the mother board manual and followed it step by step and connected everything together. When I started the computer, there was no beep (system speaker connected) but the monitor couldn't recognise any input (tried both DVI and HDMI cables).
Initially I thought it was the problem with graphic card so I bought another one (SAPPHIRE HD5450) to try but no luck.
One thing I noticed was the 1 PIN from the 20 PIN power cable of my PSU is missing. Might this be the cause of the problem?
This is the picture I took of my CPU setup:
Many thanks.
David
