| 843605 | 2009-12-28 22:11:00 | when I power on the PC, everything runs, graphic card, etc..BUT it is not giving me a display (I did double check all the connectors). I also found that there is NO POWER going through all the USB ports. I was gonna ask yesterday but got side tracked -- when you stripped everything out and you said it was assembled on the bench, was it with the watercooling setup or a standard CPU cooling fan. ?? The reason for asking is since there appears to be two problems, the Graphic Card not displaying & USB ports not working. There could be something short circuiting on the board. Weather it be the attachment plate for the water cooler (CPU) or something touching the circuit tracks under the board. OR worse case damaged circuit tracks under the board. If it was taken back to a stock CPU cooler and sitting on a bench/Table this will eliminate any metal touching within the case. You dont need HDDS, optical Drives attached as these are not required to get a image Via the graphic card on the screen. |

I have just remembered, when mum's mobo blow up on me, the HDD light stays on . . . . now my mobo is doing the same on me . im off to my friends place to try my graphics card and ram, will report back asap . thanks for the help guys . :D |

I'd say you have already killed the motherboard if not the CPU as well Next time, do it properly, either a bought watercooler or standard air cooling. |
