Update to previous post Hi, i delivered my rig to a IT store. Where i discussed the problem whit a seemingly compotent it guy (he had a beard and glasses, jk ;)). He run some tests, and concluded with that the motherboard was busted. Which is the only reasonable answer i can get. Since everything else seems to work. I am sick of this ****.. and im going to buy a new computer tomorrow. Just wanted to inform whoever that care about the status. - Jens Harald

Experience the exact same problem Hi Like sheperdless im experiencing the same problems. I would therefor contribute in sharing information from a different standpoint. Ill try to be as detailed as possible about the events and options tried. My system: Delivered from a computer assembly store (Multicom.no (norwegian netshop)). Pc is approx 3 years old. Have never had any problems with it. MY rig: ECS Elitegroup GF7100PVT-M3 Mothercard PGA775, FSB1333, 4x Sata, 7.1 Audio (GF7100PVT-M3) PointOfView V54 kabinett 350W black INTEL Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz LGA775 FSB800 2MB Cache Boxed 2 X TRANSCEND 2GB DDR2 DIMM 800MHz (JM800QLU-2G) PRODUKSJONSVARE 750GB 7200RPM S-ATA harddisk 3,5 *** (750GBSATA3.5) PointOfView GeForce 9500GT 512MB PCI-E skjermkort (R-VGA150908)****** Monitor: Dell 24" Additional information: I upgraded my grapich card for about 3-4 weeks ago. That was smooth sailing, no errors and it have worked perfectly since the install. And the TS have througly tested his screen, GPU etc. thats why I dont think this migth have any direct cause to the problem. New grapich card: XFX Radeon HD 6670 800 M 1 GB DDR3 (I choose this card because it has extreamly low power requirements. Which was important since i only have a 350 W power supply. Funfact: this card has lower power need than my original and much older card) Thats my system. Not great but it gives me exactly what i needs from a computer. When thing went bad: 4-5 days ago.. was waching a youtube video. The screen froze. (This have never happened before actually). I had other stuff to do so I simply powered the computer off. When I later booted up the computer. the screen said "No signal detected". The screen then went into power save mode whitout a care in the world. When i unplug the screen cord in and out to the computer. The screen detects this an goes from "No DVI-D cable" (With no connection to the computer) to "No signal detected" when connected. I havent actually had the oppertunity to test the screen on a other system. But i have concluded from reading this post aswell the facts stated. Dismissed the possibillity that the screen is defect. What happens when i press start button: Everything powers up as usual. But no BEEP from bios (got this from other posts aswell) No signal detected. What I have tried whitout succses: 1. use the integrated grapich card 2. Test the old grapich card that i replaced (read additional notes) 3. Removed all possible wires and put them back in. (dunno what this would accomplich, but a friend suggested it) 4. Stripped down everything exept ram and cpu. (No difference. exept ofc the hdd, grapich card and dvd does make any noise. Which is not odd.. since they are unplugged.) a. Changed possitions of the ram. (No difference from 4.) b. Removed the ram and rebooted (The Motherboard i assume gives of a long beep.) 5. Removed the "clock battery" and restarted BIOS. (No succsess for all i know, I cant see the dos loadupscreen) I have NO clue on what to do. Im sharing your frustration TS. And hope that my new information tho this problem might give someone any ideas on how to fix this.
