First, sorry for the vague topic description, but, I have no idea what to call this issue.

To save from a long story; my two rigs in SysSpecs have been in their respective boxes for almost 4 months....I unboxed them the other day and had a really strange issue, both wouldn't display video.

I have no idea why this has happened or how to fix the problem.....I've tried many things on both rigs without any luck:

Different cards ranging from a 6600GT to my 9800GX2 and nothing works.
Different RAM (8 sticks, 4 brands)
Checking all cables are seated correctly.
New CMOS battery.
Different monitors.

The rig's both "start" but I have no sure way of knowing if they get to the desktop and to be clear, when I boxed them up both worked flawlessly.

Lucky I still have my laptop and HTPC but there is no substitute for my own rig.

Any help would be useful, help a guy out and get me crunching for TPU again!

Dam acid....Sorry to hear that man.
You have me stumped with that one.
Do the monitors your tring work on anything else?

aCid888* · Dec 16, 2009, 11:37 PM

Monitors, RAM & cards all work on my HTPC.

Really hard time with this one...its been frustrating me for days!

Fourstaff · Dec 17, 2009, 08:58 AM

Try hooking up to onboard video? Well, I would try one part by one, including the PSU to see which one is faulty.

How about "Computer doesn't show any image"? Took me about 10 seconds to think that up, 9 of those seconds were needed to read your post. The title you're using now is exactly the example used in the guidelines of what title NOT to use. Please read the guidelines.

H82LUZ73 · Dec 17, 2009, 09:26 AM

do you get the bios start screen? Check if your pci-e card is first to boot ,try the other DVI output?

Mussels · Dec 17, 2009, 09:42 AM

for christmas, i give you a thread title.

I'd be doing a CMOS clear, and a minimal boot (one stick of good ram, lowest power video card you have) and testing with the PSU from the HTPC (since its known to work)

Since they've been in storage, you have no idea whats happened - they could have been tossed around, liquid spilled on them, anything.

(then ofc, theres the obvious stuff - like forgetting the aux CPU power connector, stuff like that)

What do I get for Christmas? I demand all your review samples from the beginning of January 2010 until June 2010!

Oh and on topic, aCid did you have a sudden power shortage or a lightning strike your house?

I recommend not doing any until July then.

aCid888* · Dec 17, 2009, 08:46 PM

Thanks for changing the thread title, I was pretty wrecked when I wrote this and couldn't think too much.

To the suggestions....

No onboard video.
They were in storage in my house, never moved them in the whole 4 months.
No strikes or power outages, they worked when they got put away.
All cables plugged in and both PSU's work as I tried them on the HTPC.
I also did the "minimal boot" idea without any luck.

Any other ideas??? Its pretty depressing having no PC to game with.

H82LUZ73 · Dec 17, 2009, 08:55 PM

So which rig is it that is not booting the ASUS M3A79 ? Try this take the mobo out and hot plug it to your HTPC and see if it boots that way,Sound`s like a build up of dust from sitting in a box or it has a short somewhere.Also clear the cmos switch for like 5 min`s then place it back on then try it`

LOL At your avatar acid,A guy i used to work with (fellow chef ) would gas himself after our shift....

aCid888* · Dec 17, 2009, 09:05 PM

Its both rigs and the only thing you said that I havent tried is taking a board out to see if thats the issue.

choppy · Dec 17, 2009, 09:11 PM

they both went into storage? they havent been knocked over or something have they?

..shot in the dark..are the HDD's working..?

H82LUZ73 · Dec 17, 2009, 09:18 PM

I just tried setting my memory on my board to limit in the bios and it went into a sleep like state,try seeing if that is what is causing it.

aCid888* · Dec 17, 2009, 09:18 PM

No, not knocked over, moved or even looked at!

To my knowledge both rigs have fully working HDD's, along with all other parts...they both just wont display video.

H82LUZ73 · Dec 17, 2009, 09:20 PM

water leak or no water in the res?

aCid888* · Dec 17, 2009, 09:27 PM

No leaks at all.

I'm also fresh out of ideas.

aCid888* · Dec 17, 2009, 11:46 PM

Come on guys, I'm getting gaming withdrawal here!!

Mussels · Dec 18, 2009, 02:32 AM

i can only suggest complete dissasembly and reassembly

aCid888* · Dec 19, 2009, 10:12 PM

I rebuilt her rig (AMD setup) and it appears that #1 & #3 memory slots are dead....I have to boot using slots 2 & 4.

Any ideas how this could happen when its been stored for so long and not even the box it was in was touched?

Asylum · Dec 19, 2009, 10:34 PM

Static maybe?

aCid888* · Dec 19, 2009, 10:44 PM

I just dont know where from, they have both been inside their original boxes and near nothing that can mess with whats inside....very strange.

My 9800GX2 is also giving me issues, 14k in 06 with a 3.8GHz quad???

SLi not working, it appears....what to do, what to do......

Posts: 2,297 (1.24/day) Thanks: 360 Thanked 660 Times in 547 Posts	I rebuilt her rig (AMD setup) and it appears that #1 & #3 memory slots are dead....I have to boot using slots 2 & 4. Any ideas how this could happen when its been stored for so long and not even the box it was in was touched? __________________ HTPC: E8500 @ 3.8GHz 1.20v ~ Passive Xiggy HDT-1283 ~ X38 Maximus Formula (Rampage BIOS) ~ 2x1GB Mushkin 1150mhz @ 950mhz 2.0v ~ 2x500GB RAID0 ~ eVGA 9800GTX+ SC ~ 52" Toshiba 1920x1080 LCD ~ Windows XP SP3 ~ Logitech Z-5500 5.1 “I would like to thank acid for this pivotal moment in internet history were he has just successfully forced the creation of a brand new meme.” -Solaris17
