| 223163 | 2004-03-17 07:13:00 | maybe the display cable has come loose from the rear of the pc. if not that try re-seating (removing and then re-inserting) the video card. |

| 223164 | 2004-03-17 07:19:00 | Hi Robert It might be helpful if you told us exactly what "work" you were doing prior to being told to reboot, if that is what any message said. I presume you have tried reseating the video card and double checked the video cable connection. Do you get any system beeps? Due to the HDD activity you hear, I think it is reasonable to assume that the computer has got past POST, though I may well be wrong :-) You have a good system - good luck. |

| 223165 | 2004-03-17 07:25:00 | Well.... a bit of overclocking. But It was alll working perfectly, and I returned it to standard (factory preset) settings. To make that clear: I overclocked it, and decided to play it safe and return to normal settings, shortly afterwards it died. Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

| 223166 | 2004-03-17 07:26:00 | Oh, and no beep.. not for the minute i left it on. This means no POST. This means motherboard, no? | robert6655 (5176) | ||
| 223167 | 2004-03-17 08:32:00 | Sorry to hear that mate... no POST could mean a number of things: Bad mobo, ram, cpu or psu. Try clearing CMOS and then boot again ... this is usually done by a jumper on ur mobo or u can just simply yank the battery off the mobo. hope this helps and good luck! |

| 223168 | 2004-03-17 08:57:00 | You may not have cooked things yet. Possible overheating of CPU or Video card or RAM. I haven't yet checked the motherboard manual but there should be a jumper to clear CMOS. Try that then you will have to get into the BIOS and check settings from there. Some Gigabyte motherboards have a dual BIOS. Your motherboard may not yet be dead. Just my humble opinion. |

| 223169 | 2004-03-17 09:09:00 | Hi, well im robert6655s friend, (I have another post about no BIOS beeps, but that was so I could learn what it means when nothing beeps). His motherboard has a light, indicating that RAM was OK, we even changed RAM and checked it. I tried another VGA Card for him - same result. Im not sure about his motherboard jumpers, he'll have to post about that - but it may be SEVERE overheating :-s |

| 223170 | 2004-03-17 09:12:00 | it shouldnt be heating seeing as how i just installed 5 new fans like 3 days ago. i reset all the jumpers to the position they were in when i got the mobo. Still no help. |
