Hi

 

Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help.

 

Does the motherboard have an onboard graphics card or do you have a seperate graphics card?

 

Make sure all the components are securely connected.

Sounds like the Graphics card -

Can you list what you have bought including the CPU, MOBO, RAM, PSU etc.

Also are you 100% sure that you have connected the case wires properly on the Motherboard - they can be fiddly and hard to see the -/+ on some of them - just double check that they are in the right way and list back the parts please :)

thanks for the help please keep it coming

 

i have on board graphic card right now to get me up and start right now.

i have took apart countless times and reconnected so all the connections are correct.

CPU - AMD Athlon 64 x 2

MOBO - MSI K9N6GM-V

RAM - DDR2-1GB-PC5300 (X2)

PSU - 450w ATX450-12C

 

:D thanks very much for the help Maynardvdm and Dalo Harkin

Try taking one of the RAM sticks out - or swapping the Channels etc - the board does support PC5300 (667Mhz) so thats ok.

Hmmm, the 4 pin ATX connector is tight??

[tony-mcintosh]

thanks

 

right i took the RAM out and it beeps 6 times at the start when i turn it on now but still no picture on screen

[maynardvdm]

Sorry if these questions sound really stupid ;)

 

Is the monitor on and the brightness turned up?

[Guest Wolfeymole]

Did you take just ONE stick out Tony or both?

[Dalo Harkin]

Ok 4 slots for the RAM to occupy yes - try 1 stick ONLY in the slots one at a time - see what happens

so 1 stick of RAM in 1st DIMM then 2ND then 3RD etc
