Hello all,
just joined today, but have been stealing your thoughts for a week or so.
i just recieved my computer from cyberpowerpc.
specs,
asus extreme 680i
intel qx6850
4 gb (4x1) mushkin xtreme
8800 ultra
killer m1
x-fi fatal1ty
74gb raptor
500gb maxtor
supposed to be vista premium 64 bit.
heres the problem, i go to turn the computer on, and i get to the opening screen, it says Giant G in boxes, below it, republic of gamers or something, then striker extreme, then like hit tab to enter setup, or delete to enter whatever.
i have a monitor plugged, in, G15 keyboard, via usb, razor copperhead via usb, and speakers.
the keyboard does not turn on, i tried to use an old keyboard which fits in the keyboard slot, but that doesnt work either.
the mouse lights up, but not the keyboard. i know the keyboard works, i plugged it in to this laptop.
so far ive tried to take out the sound card and the eithernet card, i also switched out the ram to see if it was faulty ram. ive also turned it off, took out motherboard battery for 70 minutes to try and reset it, and ive tried to reset the MB with the reset button, still no dice, and same screen.
i can set it back, but who knows when i will get it back again.
if theres anyway to fix it without sending it back, that would be the best. thanks alot for your help
