New member
I have just built new comp for somebody

ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2 Mobo

New cheap ass come with case power supply

160gb Maxtor HDD

Nvidia 6800 XFX

1Gb Kingstone Value tripe.

I have tried with 2 monitors and I have no image output from the Mobo nor the GFX card. The card I know works btw.

I have been rootling around seeing if I have mis-wired something but it all seems ok.

I am thinking its the powersupply...
 
Take everything back out and put only the essentials back in... ram, vid, hdd and make sure it isn't a simple grounding problem or a problem with an unrelated device.

Most of the time just reassembling will fix the problem. If not, then you have a more serious problem on your hands. Like a faulty motherboard perhaps. When you press the power button do the lights come on and fans spin, etc? Or does nothing at all happen?
 
Everythings turning on, fans are spinning, hard drive spinning, DVD drives making its usual whirr. It all seems hunky dory just no image..
 
Yep, nothing on that either.

Its 5 in the morning, time for some sleep. I will rebuild tomorrow and see what happens.

Thanks for your speedy help guys :)
 
400w, doesnt say anything whatsoever without knowing what brand it is.

a 380w antec truepower can forexample provide MORE power than a q-tec 550w.

whats interesting is how many A the psu can put out on 3.3 5v and 12v rail.

True, maybe it is one of the 12v rails getting taken down by the graphics card.
 
Ya, a friend of mine had a similar problem. Was an Alienware, mobo seemed to just suddenly die. They bought another 1, same problem. Then we tried another PSU and it booted up fine.

tried to measure up 5v and 12v rails from a molex ?

if you do it just be carefull not to shortcurcuit the rails in any way as it can destroy not only the psu but all hardware connected too it.
 
Weird, I changed the hard drive to mine and it worked, so I changed it back to the old one and it worked, I guess it must of been an IDE cable not sitting right
 
Thing that rattles me is why would the IDE affect the picture...

Anyway, its fine, thanks for your mega help guys :D
