HELP! I've put together a new build but been problems from start. At first it was working ok, then i was getting a blank screen at post but could hear windows boot up, then i moved the hd 4780 to the 2nd slot and all was ok for a couple of days and now nothing. Always a blank screen on boot, even after resetting the bios. So updated the bios to 0710 and tried a new gpu
Ok So after a week of backed up post (snowy chaos!) i have a ati x600 128mb pci-e card in the mobo and guess what
No more blank screen ... well kinda
Put the card in, with one ram in slot a1, cpu/cooler, psu connected, powered up and the POST screen appeared! then it goes to this screen
which is ok because no hdd attached yet
so i reboot using the mobo switch and i get a blank screen followed by 1 long 3 short beeps on the "VGA bios" section of the lcd poster. SAME problem i was having with the HD4780 when it displayed a blank screen on post
So i hit reset button a couple of more times, still blank screen. Power off, reset the cmos, and reboot.
This time the POST appears on the screen, just the one beeps, then i get "cmos err" on the lcd poster and this screen
f1 takes me to the bios
f2 takes me the the first screenie i posted.
if i go into the bios and when i exit (f1) or if i hit the reset button again (f2) i get the BLANK SCREEN on reboot and the 1 long and 3 short beeps on the vga bios section of the lcd poster
So basically i cant see anything unless i reset the bios, which means any changes i make to bios to fix this wont hold?
Any ideas ?
oh bios screenies if they might help
