- New build - no display on monitor
- Posted by BIGEYE on February 9th, 2008
Got my pc built with the following components:
Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R Socket 775 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Go Stepping CPU
Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 Processor Cooler
2 x Kingston 2gb Kit (2x1gb) Ddr2 800mhz/pc2-6400 Hyperx Memory Non-ecc Cl4
(4 GB Total)
2 x Samsung SpinPoint HD501LJ 500GB SATAII Hard Drive 16MB Cache
Arctic Power 700W PSU - With PCI-E, SATA, 20+4, ATX12V, 8pin +12V Connectors
Antec Nine Hundred - Gaming Case
LG GSA-H66NBAL 18X SATA DVD±RW/DL/RAM
Samsung SM2032BW 20"TFT Monitor Widescreen
Inno3d 8800 GTS Overclocked Edition GFX card
Fired the unit up and all the fans running, no signal coming from the GFX
card (monitor dispalying check connector), tried on different monotor with
same result. I have the power connector (6-Pim) plugged in to the GFX card.
Anybody got any idea why I am not getting any display on the monitor?
TIA

Problem solved. Didn't connect the 4 pin 12V ATX supply connector at the top
of the mobo, didn't think it was needed as there is 4 pin 12V ATX supply
connector connected adjacent the 20 pin mobo connector. So this board needs
both of these 4 Pin connecters to be connected.
Thanks.

Yeah I recently did the same thing...
I just plain forgot the add'l connector.
Glad you got it...
of course, in the time you wasted, your machine has now become obsolete...
so you better order some new parts <G>
