Hey all,
I've just assembled a new PC to the following specs:
Asus A8N- SLi Deluxe
AMD 64 3800+
ATI Sapphire X800 GTO2
Enermax 901 600W PSU
1 GB PC3200 DDR 400
80 GB SATA HDD
DVD-ROM Drive
In a 'Tsunami Dream' Thermaltake Case
After assembling it, I plugged it into the monitor (the monitor I'm using only supports VGA so I had to use a convertor thing to plug it into the DVI of the graphics card - I don't think the monitor is the problem though since I tried it with the same convertor on another PC) pressed the on button and it didn't do anything. Then I realised I hadn't turned on the switch of the PSU. So I did. Then I pressed the button again and I heard fans whirling, looked into the case, saw that everything seemed to be humming away nicely. I turned on the monitor... and it came up with 'No Signal'.
Arrrgh....
Furthermore, no beeping of any kind could be heard from the PC, just fans. I tried pressing the button to open the DVD drive, it didn't respond, nor was there any sign of activity. My guess was that the Graphics Card was the problem, but I don't have another PC with PCI Express to test it in. I don't think I cracked the CPU when fixing the fan, but I haven't ruled it out yet. Or maybe it's the PSU?
Windows is still not installed and I haven't even seen the BIOS screen yet.
I'm really frustrated and I REALLY hope that there is a God out there on this forum that can help me!
