Hi There, I have just assembled a new PC and cannot get it to BOOT or POST. No display visible, monitor LED is still orange (no signal) and no beep code sound either. Just a blank screen and no signal evident. Fans all work and on-board LEDs are on. Graphics display says no VGA cable detected. (I’ve tried 2 monitors LCD & CRT…both work on other PC.) I have also cleared the Bios (jumper method) as a last resort.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS:
Case & Power supply: Antec P193 + CP-850 PSU.
Motherboard: ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
Processor: AMD PHENOM II X4 955 BE (Box)
Graphics card: ASUS EAH4890 1GB
Memory: 4GB. Corsair TW3X4G1600C9DHX
HDD: Western digital RE3 WD5002ABYS
Optical (dvd, cd blu-ray): LG GGC-H20L
Floppy: Sony 1.4
I am at a loss to why it will not boot. The above specs are all quality parts. I’ve checked cables PSU etc. I suspect it may be the Processor is too new for the motherboard bios as mentioned in other forums. However, some have managed but most like me have not.
Some say to get a new BIOS chip with the updated driver etc. (since you can’t boot and flash it anyway) I may even purchase a Diagnosic (P.O.S.T.) card.
Any clues please? All suggestions welcomed.
Many thanks in advance,
