I'm putting together a new system from scratch (1st one in 4 years so I'm a bit rusty on the latest technology)
Asus P5B Deluxe
E6400 Core Duo
MSI 7900GT Video card
I installed the CPU, memory, and video card and wanted to test to make sure it would post before I started adding in other parts.
I only connected the 24-pin and 8-pin power connectors and the pci-e power connector along with the cpu and chassis fans.
First attempt, the fans came on, and that was it. No beeps, no picture, nothing.
Removed RAM and tried again.
Now I get 1 long and 2 short beeps, which I think is a video card error, so I removed and reinstalled the video card, tried both PCI-E power connectors and both Video outputs but I'm still getting the same 1 long and 2 short beeps.
I'd like to test another video card in the machine, but I only have AGP cards, no PCI video cards.
Do I simply have a dead video card? Or could it be some other cause?
And why would I get no response at all with the RAM installed and then get beeps when RAM was removed? Does that mean that the RAM is going to be an issue, too?
Any help is appreciated.
