    Well lets start with the basics.

    Is this a new case ?

    Is it a new power supply or one out of an old comp like a dell ?

    Is the board in the case or on the bench ?

    What all is hooked up to the board ? I would start with only the video card and memory.

    Are you gettin any signs of life ? Any beep codes ?

    usually the board has a small scematic of the pin layout right above thepins, remember the + is the colored wire and the - is the white wire.

    Im upgrading my sempron 3100+ and chaintech k8t800 to
    a athlon 64 3200+ winchester, and the ASUS K8V, so its my old case

    My old power supply still works

    Board is in the case

    Dont get any beeps, but my led on my mobo is lite up meaning it has power.

    I believe there is a problem with Winchester cores and that motherboard requiring a BIOS update.

    BUT....are both the 20 pin 12 V ATX and 4-pin ATX power cables connected? You may also look to the actual power on switch on the PC case itself. I've had a situation where the wires were not connected to the actual physical switch....they appeared to be but the actual connection was broken requiring me to re-solder the wires.

    Check the other things first...

    Don't mean to go "chicken little" on you here but "perhaps" this may be applicable to you.

    I'd also try single sticks of RAM because if you have MUSHKIN...there's been reported problems.

    I think the safest thing to now would be to try and start it on the bench in minimal configuration.

    With the board out of the case and on the antistaic foam it came with, try just hooking up the power supply , one stick of ram , and the video card. Short the two pins marked power and see if it will start. if it does you can safely shut it down when it says no OS found. If it does not we have ruled out shorting to the case , improper switch wiring , hard drive , optical drives.

    We have to start somewhere

    Hi, i got my pc to boot but nothing is showing up on my monitor. I have a Sapphire 9600 PRO and i made sure its in all the way and it has power. The fan is spinning. I would just like to knowwhat the problem could be thanks.

    It could be that the settings you have to OC your proc to 2.5 is keeping it from going past POST, i have the same motherboard and i can't get mine past 2.35 without it giving a CMOS error, you might wanna try and reset your cmos and see what happens.
  • cel3ulacel3ula Grand Rapids

    ok i reset the cmos settings and the monitor still gets no signal... :scratch:

    OK not to be smart or anything but is the monitor good and is the cable plugged into the video card, also make sure the power cord to the monitor is in securely

    Are you sure your bios is at default settings ? ( no longer overclocked )

    What did you do to get it to post ?

    OK here is what we are gonna do.

    Relax ...,... Cool heads will prevail when troubleshooting.

    Please answer these questions

    What did you do between the time it would not work and it did work ?

    Is it out of the case ?

    Are you still using the power button or are you shorting the power pins on the mobo ?

    Scott

    The reason I ask about it being in the case is that if it is not seated properly or has a standoff misplaced it could be shorting out on the backside somewhere. We have a weekend here, I strongly suggest that you take it out of the case and try it sitting on the bench. What is there to lose, It does not work now right ? And if it is a problem with the mobo, you will have to take it out to return it right? Also, as MediaMan has pointed out the switch may have a fault.

    Lets start at square one and figure this out. And hope it is not a winchester core / mobo conflict. The only way out of that one is to use another processor to boot and flash the bios.

    Let us know how it goes.

    And hang in there and be patient.

    I havent done anything since its worked, besides sleep and cry lol.

    And I'm using the power button, to turn off and on my system.

    Thanks for staying and helping me through this. :)
