Hello all , recently I ordered a Corsiar TX-650 , I also bought a new GIGABYTE GA-73PVM-S2H with E7200 and I bought an AKASA AK-965.
My old motherboard I was replacing was a VIA PM9 series Motherboard to this GIGABYTE.
I was then made aware of a process called 'XP repair install' , and I read up on it and Got my XP disk handy.
When I switch on the PC , It starts up , fans spinning , DVD drive spinning , but no display , the monitor is just on standby mode.
I then looked at the keyboard and when The PC starts up thier are no lights on the Keyboard , and no POST. I connected my 8800GS inside it and connected my DVI-VGA and powered on , all the fans were spinning (GPU , CPU etc) , and nothing , no display.
The keyboard normally should show 3 lights and they were none. So I changed my GPU to my 8600GT , powered on still no display .
I then switched to on board DVI and VGA and still no display or POST , my case had no internal speakers so I cant hear the Beeps.
The only thing I can think of is to reset the CMOS by putting a jumper on it , I doubt it will work.
These are the things I kept the same when replacing my Motherboard.
1. DVD drive
2. Sata HDD (1 hd)
3. Case Fans
4. Case
5. DDR 2 667 2GB ram , (I also have a spare 1gb ram)
Thanks , please reply soon.
