Building pc - "check signal cable" message

....and what video cards are you sticking in this puppy? Models???

 

foxconn geforce 7100gs
He mentioned in the First post..

 

And another stupid question but it has to be asked since you didn't mention this in the first post. You hearing the fans, hard drives, everything else powering on ok???

And here is a link to the online manual to your mobo if you don't already have it:

Thats the new one, I tried an old pci card also that I know works.

 

Yes, the HD is running, the fans are fanning. The LED on the mobo is green. And one thing, the monitor was flickering a bit, but just with a green color, didnt see any text or anything.

 

Well, thank you for reminding me why I never buy Asus motherboards (their website sucks, they suck). Anyways, the only things I can think of would be your power supply in not powerful enough (checking the internet, most people run this mobo with no less than 400W, and with that video card, I would say 450W). And the other thing would be memory. I have seen a few times where the memory is bad or just not seated right and it would cause a blank screen. Usually when this happens the system will give you a beep sequence, but sometimes it won't. Or, the whole motherboard itself is not seated in the case correctly and there is a short occurring somewhere...

If you can rule all of these out, I would say that mobo is bad. It can happen...

 

I will check the memory again.
I will call my supplier tomorrow and ask about the power supply.

There is no beeps at all.

Its no short circuit as I can see on the mb and there is only one way to assemble it.

Its a drag to test all again because I use the power supply from my old pc. I have to change it between the two machines to go here and to test it he he.


EDIT: Tested the ram now and it is ok. I also cleared cmos, same problem.

 

So I went to the shop today and it turned out that the mobo they gave me do not support core2duo. Stupid *******, they waste our time.

Now I got it up and running, just have to figure out how to install XP.

The Webmaster, I cannot give you green so quickly again, must have given you some the last days.

 

No worries about green mate, Glad that your comp is up and running.

XP? I thought you were heading for Vista...

 

He he, I am not heading for Vista basic anyway. I will not risk anything, I need all the small web master progs I use today. I will have a long night tonight, transfer/install all the stuff on the new comp. Think I will move the old HD`s over to the new comp and grab what I can to the new HD.
