| 690240 | 2008-07-19 07:16:00 | ok, but I really can't see anywhere to plug a monitor in on the mobo I/O | joemac (9739) | ||
| 690241 | 2008-07-19 07:20:00 | ok, but I really can't see anywhere to plug a monitor in on the mobo I/O That's why if we know the model of the board we can look it up and see exactly what we are dealing with ;) The 3 beeps you mentioned mean something, but could be various depending on the BIOS in the Board. |

| 690244 | 2008-07-19 08:23:00 | I tried resetting the BIOS but I am not sure I got the the right jumpers. I tried removing the ram stick and blowing on it. Still no difference. Screen --> "no sync" |

| 690245 | 2008-07-19 08:31:00 | Well have you figured out where to plug the monitor in on it? There's no point talking about what to remove, until you plug the monitor in Whatever you removed, did you put it back in the same place? I would ask your mate for the manual. So, you know what youre looking at / and doing |

| 690246 | 2008-07-19 08:35:00 | I never had a problem plugging the screen in. I was just pointing out that I was unable to rule out the Video card as the problem because the board had no onboard graphics to bypass the card. I am sure that I have put everything back where I found it. | joemac (9739) | ||
| 690247 | 2008-07-19 08:38:00 | One thing you can also try, remove the graphic Card, start the PC, it should start beeping indicating no Graphic card. But before you do , are you still getting 3 beeps as mentioned before If so what are they , 3 short , 1 long then 2 short ? |

| 690248 | 2008-07-19 08:41:00 | I got the three beeps when the card wasn't in properly. Am only getting the initial beep now. And very fast fans. |

| 690249 | 2008-07-19 08:44:00 | With the computer off, remove the RAM, restart does it go nuts with beeps - how many sticks of RAM do you have installed ? | wainuitech (129) | ||
