Hi Terry, I don't think you've told us the motherboard model? Could the BIOS provide network access for configuration? Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2016-08-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread:

OK Will it fire up without gfx card in? If so, does it beep? Try attaching a set of speakers (May sound odd but this has provided audible feedback in the past) and booting with them live. Remove the cpu... try booting.. If you get no error beeps without cpu something is well and truly

It should beep one short beep on successful POST. Did you try the CMOS clear I suggested? I may have missed it in an earlier post if you mentioned this. On 13 Jul 2016 10:27, "Terry Coles" wrote: > On Tuesday, 12 July 2016 23:35:01 BST Simon Avery wrote: > > Obvious

Re: [Dorset] OT: No Signal from Graphics Card on Newly Built PC

Obvious stuff; Ensure any additional power leads are connected (molex 4, or 6 or even 8-way leads are not uncommon and need plugging in too) Google for card compatibility with the motherboard. Not seated properly, or in an incompatible slot. Could easily be bad mobo instead of graphics card, or
