Major problems with AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
Ok so I just finished putting together a new computer a few days ago
and I have been having a lot of trouble. Here is the system: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor 2.4GHz Socket AM2 Dual Core Processor Model ADA4600CUBOX ASUS EN7600GT SILENT/2DHT/256M Geforce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card ABIT KN9S Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 550 MCP ATX AMD Motherboard [b:66bcb81fa6]pqi TURBO 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit[/b:66bcb81fa6] Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive [b:66bcb81fa6]XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ATX 500W Power Supply[/b:66bcb81fa6] ASUS Silver ATAPI/E-IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD-E616A2 SV [b:66bcb81fa6]NEC 16X DVD±R DVD Burner Silver IDE/ATAPI Model ND-3550A - OEM[/b:66bcb81fa6] Viewsonic VA902b LCD 19'' Analog Monitor Basically what happens is that when I hit the power switch, all of the fans start, the light on the mobo lights up, the disk drives are opperational, I THINK the hard drive spins, and I can't really tell if the graphics card is running because it's supposed to be 0dB silent. My big problem is that I do not even hear a post beep or anything when I power on the system. The monitor says that it is receiving no signal and basically it just sits there and looks pretty inside while it does nothing (thanks to cool LED's everywhere!). Please give ANY suggestions that might help me get my baby up and running! Nothing is more depressing than getting a new computer and then having it not work... |

"Pungolo_Fiero" wrote in message ... big snip... Check that you have all the necessary power supply connections to the motherboard and also check if your graphics card needs a p/s feed too. Try removing and reseating the RAM and check the graphics card is pushed all the way in. Best to remove it and reinsert. Remove all other cards. HTH. Let us know how you get on. Hope it works out.

Here is the system: snip Nothing is more depressing than getting a new computer and then having it not work... Bah! Any monkey can plug in some purchased-off-the-shelf box and plug it in and have it start right up. Building your own system is for manly men, and these hassles put hair on your chest! You'll be so proud and happy happy when you finally get this thing working... and you WILL get it working. In all seriousness, however, check the four-pin power supply connecter and make sure that you've plugged it in to the apporiate socket on the motherboard near the CPU. If that doesn't fix the problem, I'd swap out the power supply with a spare, as I believe someone else also suggested. |
