My buddy just put his system together today, a few of you may remember the post asking for input, and is getting a blank screen on boot. The system is core hardware identical to mine so there shouldn't be any compatability probs etc.
When I asked here is the following info:
1. no beeps on boot up
2. Reseated the video card
3. Motherboard's power light is on.
4. Nothbridge, heatsink, video card, and all case fans are running.
5. Switched video cards to one that is known to work.
6. installed is ram, processor, keyboard, mouse, video card
7. resteated the ram
System info:
Visiontek Geforce 3
Vantec FCE-62540D HSF and Artic Silver II Thermal paste
Antec SX-1030B SOHOB
IMB Deskstar 60GXP 40gb
256MB 2100 Crucial DDR
Teac Floppy
Asus A7M266
Creative Labs 5.1 X-gamer
AMD Thunderbird 1.33GHz
What else should be checked before he sends anything back? He is bringing the system out to me tommorow for me to look at it.
