Im not sure if its drivers but any help please

(I switched from an Asus P5E VM HDMI motherboard which worked fine)

EDIT: Im using the 9800GTX+

You need a graphics card?

 

[Socks]

ai, a gpu would be good. Any pics?

 

[Pat123]

Correct me if im wrong but the Striker II dosent have a built in 'gpu' does it?

 

[PV5150]

It most certainly does not, and the thing that stands out from the op's system config that was listed, is the lack of a gfx card.

 

[Luigi]

The fact he said the other board worked, which does have build in gpu, suggests that perhaps he is un aware of this?

 

[Socks]

ROFL!! Thats going to be an expensive mistake...

 

[PV5150]

I'm just wondering what he's connected the VGA/DVI cable to if he doesn't have a gfx card...

Unless its HDMI, in which case wouldnt that possibly fit in the e-sata?

Was thinking the same.

Maybe he just forgot to post his GFX.

 

[Ghosthud1]

he's got a 9800gtx+ , i recommended this fella

You think? Naaahh I don't.

No seriously, have you leak tested the loop before installing?

 

[JN]

The Striker II Extreme has one of those diagnostic LCD's you can plug into the motherboard doesn't it? I'd suggest connecting that and see if gets stuck anywhere during boot.

 

[rrjwilson]

You need a GPU.

Id suggest removing a stick a RAM to get the system going as 4Gb is usually a pain to boot initially.

 

[Sleekit]

Well I had this problem but it was cause i had forgotton to plug the 8-pin power connector into the top of the mobo (so you should have 2 power cables going into your mobo)

Check that lol

 

[xenunx]

Im only using a 4pin which i read in some forums that it was ok

Yeah ghosthud1 refered me he knows im using a 9800GTX+

Yeah I did check it's not leaking

Before you go RMA'ing anything I'd deffo try with an 8-Pin, even if its just an adapter cable.

4-Pin hasn't worked on a lot of the boards I've tried.

 

[xenunx]

Im looking for a local store right now or maybe a new power supply one with 8pin connector

 

[rrjwilson]

Yeh it IS the EPS lead.

4pin is NOT ok. I know! Its my board!

It is NOT an adaptor either (even though you could do it that way) you need enough power on the EPS rail and a C2D at 4GHz will be drawing loads through the EPS.

Yes I can confirm this, you will need 8 pin!!!
