Hi guys,
Today I was playing some cs and had my computer on, then I turned it off, because my fan on my heatsink was making a weird sound. So I tried to move it off the alluminum edge a little and moved the heatsink up and down a bit. Then I tried to start my computer and but the monitor doesn't get a signal. It turns on regularly but the monitor just doesn't recognize the computer.
help please
help will be awarded with +rep
thanks
felix

Plug the monitor cables back in.

Try to take the the cpu out and put it back on check all cables memory.. look at the board to see if there is any damage

what heatsink do you have, make sure it's plugged into the CPU fan header or ur system wont really start since it doesn't recognize an working fan

I doubt that it was the CPU or the heatsink or any relating to the CPU, but I would like to as you to tell us what happens from the first moment you turn on your PC, so tell us if you can read your motherboard info/name... your VGA info on the screen, or the problem starts before this stage even ???

i oress the power button, all my LEDs start, fans start spinning etc, and my monitor just stays black as if nothing is connected to it. no mobo information, nothing.
any ideas what could be the problem

I would guess maybe the noise was the vga's fan? is it working/blowing air? also with the comp and monitor on, reconnect to cable between them. My rig has done similar things too but Im thinking its usually the monitor being stupid.

if you have another PC, then please try to use the same monitor for that i7 build on it, and tell us please if the screen works on the other PC please.

i don't have another pc but the monitor works fine on my xbox 360

Seeing as it's the 28' Hanns G; did you just pick it up and not install the driver's by any chance? Could have something to do with it.
Try taking out your graphics cards and putting a spare in if you have it. At the very least, try removing and re-installing the graphics cards; you may have knocked them loose by accident.
Lastly, make sure you didn't accidentally knock your 6-Pin connectors out of your graphics cards, and that they are firmly in place.

no i picked it up about 5 months ago and I didn't install the drivers. but it hasnt given me problems up to now

 

[felix.vollrath]

ok so my motherboard shows the following postcodes when booting, still doesn't work. I also took out the cmos battery but the problem stays the same. it's b8 it think it could also be 68, it looks like either one, then it changes to bF or 6 F not sure

can somebody please help me. I'm being desperate.
