| 509114 | 2006-12-24 04:19:00 | Hi Nothing...the monitor stays black. I would have expected the monitor to a least bring up a splash screen or something before we tryed to boot from the CD. Richard |

| 509115 | 2006-12-24 04:22:00 | Don't know then, it'll be easier for us to figure out what the prob is, if u could take a photo of this plug you're talking about. And upload the photo to the F1 site. |

| 509117 | 2006-12-24 05:41:00 | That's good, a pic helps. That arrow saying small 4 pin socket connector is for a floppy / disk drive. If u don't have a floppy don't worry about it. It wont go anywhere. Put it out of the way. The 4 pin socket/s plug into a normal IDE hdd or cd/dvd. BUT since, you don't have IDE hdd's only the SATA they go nowhere. They're spares. BUT, if u have a cd or dvd / burner, one of those 4 pin sockets plug into the back of them. Normally, there's more connections than devices in a system. The spare connections/wires just put them out of the way, so they don't get caught up in/near a fan or something. Take another pic of the top 1/2 of the mobo (the top 1/2 showing the other 1/2 of the ram slots) |

| 509119 | 2006-12-24 06:36:00 | Hmm the wires loook ok in the 2nd pic. I would just press down firmly on the 20 pin power connector. Make sure its on properly. And take the wires off the CPU fan, one of them may stop the CPU fan from spinning. You've connected the case wires (if there's wires from the front of the case), like this (www.intel.com) The ATX and CPU fan connections look ok. The power comes on, when u press the button on the front of the case doesn't it? |

| 509120 | 2006-12-24 07:24:00 | Hi The fan wires are yet to be tied back. Front panel pins have been checked many times. With a multimeter I know that... Main power switch works Reset switch works Put 6 volts on both Power On and HDD LED's and they light up. But when you plug in the main power lead neither LED light up. Front power switch turns fans on and off. Reset switch turns off fans for a short amount of time and then when they come back on the DVD-RW and Keyboard light come on momentarily. Also I have had to put a temporary video card in as this mobo doesn't have on board video.My top of the line video is still on its way to me. The monitor is a working one that was on my other computer until one week ago so I know it is OK. If the mobo was booting up OK and not giving me any error beeps...and the temporary video card was stuffed and not giving me any video signal then would that not give me what I am now seeing ? Still doesn't explain the front panel LED's not working . Thanks Richard |

| 509121 | 2006-12-24 07:47:00 | So are the front connectors wired the same as the link I posted?? If the LED's aren't working, swap the wires around. And the temporary video card was stuffed and not giving me any video signal then would that not give me what I am now seeing ? You mean nothing comes up on the screen lol. Yup that would be a good reason. The video card is dead. Turn the power off, try the other 2 PCI slots. If the monitor doesn't turn on then, the card maybe dead. Just as long as u get A beep, when u turn the system on everything else should be fine. |

Yes nothing has ever come up on the screen yet . It is a PCI Express card . . . Can you still get video cards to fit in a std PCI slot ? . . as this board doesn't have an AGP slot . Not getting a beep when I turn the system on . . . thats what worries me . Richard |

| 509123 | 2006-12-24 08:18:00 | Not really . PCI cards are pretty scarce these days I think . Most places are selling AGP / PCI-Express or the later cards . But PCI-E can't go in PCI or vice-versa . You'll most probably kill the slot if u tried . I think PCI-E slots can be shorter / and longer than PCI . As shown here ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Pci-e" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org) |
