Buntz Posted July 23, 2008 CID Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yes, 30 sec to 1 min should be enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altoidz Posted July 23, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 23, 2008 Alright. Should I keep my RAM and video card still inserted? They're both disconnected right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altoidz Posted July 23, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 23, 2008 Didn't work. Should i just go try buying a new video card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted July 23, 2008 CID Share Posted July 23, 2008 That would be the next step. Before you do that is there a friend or someone else who has a video card you can borrow first. This way you can be sure it the card and not a motherboard problem or something else that is causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altoidz Posted July 23, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 23, 2008 Doing that now. I'll let you guys know the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altoidz Posted July 23, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 23, 2008 Alright, just borrowed my friend's old 7600GT. Popped the card in, no dice. At least I saved me some money. Like I said earlier, I'm use to hearing this beep. I turn the computer on, *beep*, monitor turns on, I see the screen that says the name of my mother board Asus P5n whatever, and at the bottom, press f8 to enter safe mode, and bios settings and whatnot. Then after that another screen, then the windows logo and everything else. But, this screen isn't showing up, and there isn't a beep! What could this mean?

Buntz Posted July 24, 2008 CID Share Posted July 24, 2008 Put in one ram stick at a time and see if it will boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buntz Posted July 24, 2008 CID Share Posted July 24, 2008 Take out the ram, video card, disconnect the harddrive and any thing else you have hook up to the motherboard. Just leave on the power supply wires and the start up button hook up.and turn it on. You should get the error beeps. If you do then install one thing at a time till you get to the problem that you are having now. Edit- I have to go ,got one hell of a thunder storm go on outside.

vern Posted July 24, 2008 CID Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm thinking possible CPU failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
