weird problem with new pc

Post by malcolmboston »

well its worth pointing out that i used to be an IT Technician before becoming a web-designer/developer but still i have no idea what the problem is here

as you may (or may not) of noticed in my other post, i have just purchased some new items for my new RH box, that im gonan be using as a web-server, application building platform.

now after building the machine, after turning the machine on, the monitor refuses to turn on whatsoever, if i unplug the monitor i get a no signal, if i plug it in the monitor goes to amber (standby) i have no idea what is causing this so i ripped out all the PCI slots just to make sure there was no conflicts, and still not working

it is worth noting that there is sufficient power going to the computer as its a 550w PSU and HS/fan GFX card all spin fine

any ideas anyone/

sounds like a conflict to me as well...
pull out the vid card and put it back in, then
disconnect drives and other cards. Boot it up,
if you get a post, add one item into the machine at a time. Likely it is a nic card or other pci device...
