[Solved]No signal going to monitor help
2
Hey guys, as some of you may know im building a rig for my sister for xmas.
I started building this morning and plugged in HDD, RAM, CPU + GPU (barebone) and when I press the power button the LEDs Flash, the Cathodes turn on........the Fans power but the monitor doesnt do anything.
It doesnt even say "No Signal" like they usually do when something is wrong
![]()
What could this be?
Thanks

All that is plugged in is
HDD
CPU + Cooler
GPU
1 Stick o' Ram
Cables - Power + VGA
I think I will try running it outta the case unless its a shorting issue............

Its nothing to do with the monitor, when I plug the monitor cable + power back into my rig it boots up perfect................man this is so annoying cause it doesnt say "No Signal" like it did when my old motherboard WAS faulty.............
Is there anyway I can test for a faulty Mobo?
I need to have this working by christmas!

I tried a 450W PSU with it and nothing so its definatly the CPU or Mobo...........
I could test the CPU in my mum P4 rig but its still under warrenty...........

You bought the cpu and the mobo from enterprise?
Also recheck your case switches. If one of them is bad then it wont turn on.
