low on time / to much money into it

[norcodh]

ok.. so I juustt got a new motherboard for my computer, I got the ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe, i used to have the basic a8n. everythings in, I know all the other parts work fine. when I power up, nothing gets set to the video card / LCD... the moniture stays in standby.. so the card isnt getting any data? should I just RMA it or is there a salution??

 

[burnzie2413]

have you checked the bios to make sure those settings look correct???

 

[norcodh]

I cant see the bios. the computer doesnt send out an image....

Reseat the video card, or try a different PCI-E 16x slot.

 

[burnzie2413]

good reason why.......do you have any other video cards readily at your disposal, i have a feeling it may be something with the pci express x16 settings and if you can slap another like normal pci vid card in there maybe you can adjust some settings, also have you tried all of the pci express slots?

its not the card it works in my other systom. how do you reset a video card, does radio shack sell buttons for that? (joke)
I know its something with the board.. I think I just need to RMA it.

 

[burnzie2413]

that may be, did u try the other slots yet to seat the card in?

 

[norcodh]

there are only two pci x16 slots, one is for single card, the other is for if you are running dual cards. I dont think you can use that slot without having two cards.

Try holding down the control key when you boot.

It doesn't matter which slot you use.

 

[burnzie2413]

what does that do? i have never heard of this and am curious myself....

I'm not really sure what it does, but it works for me sometimes. Also try reseating the RAM and CPU.

What does holding control when booting do?

I'm not really sure what it does

??? your guess is as good as mine

Read my post above.

 

[norcodh]

you think re seating stuff might help?

 

[diduknowthat]

did you plug in the power cable to the card? (if there is one)

 

[burnzie2413]

couldnt hurt

 

[Motoxrdude]

OK dude. Do you have a video card that is PCI? Not PCI-E? You can plug the PCI video card into your mobo and go into the bios and see whats wrong.

 

[norcodh]

I reset the bios with the onboard jumpers.. so if it was a bios problem, its not anymore

I beg do differ, when I was "working" (we were there from school in order to see what kind of work they did there for a week) at a computer store nearby there was some problem with a computer not working, they gave me the job of fixing it, those lazy ********. The reason why it didn't boot was because the PCI-E video card was in the secondary PCI-E 16x slot.
