741505 2009-01-24 04:01:00 What BIOS prob??

The only prob was, it was crashing

Did you save the settings, after you changed it back to IDE?

Set the BIOS to its default settings, then reconfigure it, then save the settings (Did you do this after you flashed / updated the BIOS in the 1st post)??

Remember to make the hdd the boot drive, before you save the settings

741506 2009-01-24 04:06:00 I mean the problem where sometimes the pc beeps and I see stuff on screen, but sometimes just turns on, no beep, and screen say "No signal"

??

741507 2009-01-24 04:09:00 Change the video cable or make sure both ends are in properly.

And make sure the videocard is in the slot properly / making contact with the slot

I would say this is why you're getting the no signal prob on the screen

741508 2009-01-24 04:11:00 It can't be the cable, as the no beeping prob means a prob with the vid card.

The video card is in properly.

741509 2009-01-24 04:21:00 Is there more than 1 video connection on the monitor??

ie: DVI, VGA, HDMI or what?

And what kind of cable are you using from the videocard to the monitor?

If there's more than 1 connection on the monitor, there should be a button, on the front of it, so you can switch between the different connections / inputs

That could be the other reason theres no signal. Its switched to the wrong input

741510 2009-01-24 04:36:00 Yep, 1 DVI and one VGA

I'm using a DVI to DVI cable

No button I think, model no. is VX2233(like your monitor but cheaper)

741511 2009-01-24 04:47:00 Look under the on/off button.. I think there's buttons here

Does it say VGA or DVI when you switch it on?

(It may show in the right-hand corner of the monitor)

741512 2009-01-24 04:50:00 No, it doesn't say If its DVI

No buttons, nothing in manual either

The monitor senses automatically I think, I plugged in VGA to laptop, worked, plugged in DVI to another desktop,worked.

And the thing is, it sometimes works with the PC, sometimes doesn't, depends on if it beeps or not..

741513 2009-01-24 04:58:00 1. Are you using a 24 pin power supply??

2. Have you plugged in the ATX 12v adapter from the PSU?

Cant think of anything else, unless I see it
Speedy Gonzales (78)
741514 2009-01-24 05:32:00 Yes, Using 24 pin, and 12v adapter is plugged in firmly

I'm stuck:p
