Saphire 7870
7200rpm 2tb seagate baracuda hdd(from the previous system unformatted win7 and i deleted all device drivers)
AMD Fx 8350 cpu
2x Kingston KHX1600C9D3/4G (one of them from the previous system)

Try plugging the monitor in to the onboard graphics then go into bios and make sure PEG is selected for video

I've quickly looked up your motherboard specs (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/#overview) and it seems a fairly decent entry level Asus board. Your memory and cpu are both supported and there should not be a problem with the 7870.

Some questions to ask and check.

1) Do the fans of the 7870 spin up (i.e. is it getting power)
2) What motherboard lights come on? Consult your manual - it will tell you.
3) Double check your monitor connections.
4) Check all your power and device cables.

Sounds to me like a faulty motherboard.

But here is a few things you can try.

1. Clear CMOS (Should do that for every new build you do, even if its a brand new motherboard)
2. Reseat the CPU
3. Boot with one stick of memory
4. Test the power supply by shorting the 24 pin connector. (EDIT: Sounds like its getting power from your previous post so PSU does seem to be working)

Also be sure that you have memory in the right slots. I was working on a AMD build and it wasn't working right. Switched the memory around and it boot up with no problems.

So I'm guessing this is a components you put together yourself?

Not getting a display can be anything from, faulty motherboard, faulty video card, faulty RAM stick, heatsink not making proper contact, CPU not being installed correctly into socket, not connecting the extra 4/6/8-pin power connector, an incompatible part. A combination of all the before mentioned. There is no specific cause.

By process of elimination you have to find the cause.

It might not even be a faulty part, it could be just an incompatible part or a bad installation.

You solve it by process of elimination. If you have spare parts you swap and replace the RAM, video card, motherboard etc until you isolate the issue. Its easier to do if you have lots of parts of more than one PC..

Birand,

I don't know much about this motherboard. But it appears there are two power connections. a 24-pin and a 8-pin. Some boards will not post if both are not connected.




i cleared cmos, i reseated cpu, tryed my old memory, and i didnt understand the 4th one,

both are plugged.

Should i have to send all of them to manufacturer?

So you tried your old video card and RAM. So far its pointing towards a faulty motherboard or CPU. Do you have a old CPU to test?


Quicker to send it back to the store. Most stores give you about 7-30 days to return a faulty item before the warranty kicks in.

Not all them. Have you tried booting with one stick or ram, and tried every slot?

And if something should be sent to manufacture for RMA. It would be motherboard.

Is there anyway to save my data?

Does the computer give you a specific error message? Is it blue screening? You could have windows check to see if it is just a driver error due to your previous random no screens.

You can reinstall windows without formatting the drive. It will not delete anything, it just creates a new windows folder and renames the old one to windows.old. You should not lose anything. You can grab whatever you need from the windows.old folder then delete it.

I would verify the IDE/AHCI setting in the BIOS. It needs to be set to whatever the last system was set at.
