Welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums,
The red light on the motherboard indicates something is amiss with your ram. This is a good starting point

Good luck

thanks Rolli and C12,

I gone throught the above thread. Now I am able to boot my system and have installed the OS.
Now the problem is that my HD LED monitor is now connected to mother board HDMI Port and I am getting the display.
However in my assemble PC has a Graphics card Nvidia 550 TI 1 GB DDR5. and when i try to connect through the output port of this graphics card no display is coming. I connected throught the mini HDMI to HDMI cable.
Please help.

Check to ensure your system has recognized the graphics card by looking in the device manager. If it does not show up in there, you will probably have to manually install the drivers for the graphics card.

Did you connect power from the PSU to the GT550?

 

[gauravgunjan14]

Yes Power is connected and fan of graphics card is running properly.
I tried to install the graphics driver manually. I got one error stating hardware not recongnised.
I have one query, can i get the display output at both motherboard output and graphics card output?

 

[gauravgunjan14]

Plz reply

 

[rolli59]

Yes it can in most cases and if the card is alright it should display with the monitor hooked to it.

 

[gauravgunjan14]

Also i have onboard graphics card. Do I need to disable it. if yes how i can disable it

 

[rolli59]

On newer boards disabling is not necessary but it is a BIOS function to select primary display adapter. Either PCIe or PEG for PCIexpress.

 

[gauravgunjan14]

I have Asus motherboard Asus M5A88-M .
I done one more mistake I unistall exiting graphics card driver and in bios i have changed the setting of internal graphics to disable from UMA. The moment i done that existing display also gone. Now I am not able to access the Bios also(as does not have any display) . How I can reset the bios to factory setting.

 

[rolli59]

Remove the motherboard battery for a min. It will reset BIOS so the onboard should work.
I suspect that you got a bad GPU since you hooked up power to it and it is not displaying.

 

[gauravgunjan14]

I am using Zotac Nvidia GTX 550 ti 1 gb DDR5 graphics card. Do i need to remove it and install it again after resetting the bios. How I can debug to get the exact problem. I am using mini HDMI to HDMI connector to connect graphics card display to monitor.

 

[rolli59]

No to the removal. Can you try a different connector on the card?

 

[gauravgunjan14]

Okay I will try DVI to VGA connector now.
I am able to reset the bios using Bios Jumpers and getting the display from the inbuilt graphics card.
One more thing, Device manager is not able to detect the Zotac Graphics Card. As graphics card is attached to motherboard it should detect it and it is not dependent on connector I guess.

 

[rolli59]

Yes the device manager should detect the card when installed drivers or no drivers if the card is working and correctly connected.

 

[gauravgunjan14]

you mean either if driver is installed or not installed device manager will detect it.
Correct me if I am wrong

 

[rolli59]

Yes device manager should recognize it and found new hardware wizard should kick of for installation.

 

[gauravgunjan14]

my device manager is not recognizing the graphics device. It means that definately the graphics card has some issue.

 

[C12Friedman]

Did you try loading all the drivers available on the CD that came with the card? Do a search for ini and/or inf files on that disc, try each one. If it is not the correct one, it will simply tell you hardware not found. Keep trying through all of the files until either; a) one loads or, b) you've tried them all and none work - after none have worked, you can then declare the card to be defective somehow

 

[gauravgunjan14]

Are talking about the device driver of Graphics Card.

I have Zotac NVIDIA 550 ti 1 GB DDR5. I tried with the drivers of this card.
I will try the others drivers also .But I guess 550 ti driver should be working

 

[gauravgunjan14]

I have gone to the shop from which i purchased all things. I found that GPU gone bad. Now I have submitted the GPU to Zotac service center, they may be replacing this unit. Hoping now i can get a good working GPU.
