Is it faulty, i cleared the bios and nothing happened either. [edit] motherboards they are a pain in the bum

411177 2005-12-08 11:48:00 a friend thinks it might be the cpu or ram. i doubt it tho, running 1 stick of adata ddr400 512mb and a amd a64 3000+ elmo (8988)
411178 2005-12-08 12:17:00 You managed to get to the BIOS mobo and VGA card arent completly wasted.

Is it making any beeps upon startup.

You mate may be onto something, try swaping parts out.

It can't be the motherboard again, according to certain people in this forum Asus has like a 1/500 or better failure rate (sarcasm).

However just because you had a board go down before, it is bad practice to assume its the same thing again (although you may be right, but at this stage its a guess).

Only way to test this is swapping the parts out, PSU,RAM,CPU(unlikely), video card etc.

411182 2006-01-25 13:26:00 I got the replacement one and it appears to be F**KED also, i put it in..worked fine after 4 attemps at starting it to get the monitor signal, i installed some drivers and software, restarted it and now the monitor gets no signal, ASUS suck, never buy that brand elmo (8988)
411183 2006-01-25 13:32:00 well oh my god... after about 100 atemps it actuall booted properly. It also gets a cpu fan error even thou the fan is spinning well. elmo (8988)
411184 2006-01-25 18:31:00 I think you should take it all into the shop and get them to check the install of all your hardware. pctek (84)
411185 2006-01-25 19:11:00 the common factor, well one of them seems to be yoru ram.....i have seen the 'no video' problem turn up when ram is not suited to a board or is faulty...... drcspy (146)
