Is there something wrong with my MoBo?

[idiot564]

Well i just got a few of the parts to my new CPU today

Ram: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

MoBo: ECS K8M890M-M (V1.0A) VIA K8M890 AM2 Motherboard

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+

PSU: 500 watt

i hooked up the processor to the AM2 socket correctly, installed the heatsink and fan, but when i plug a monitor in to the on-board video outlet just to test it, i get nothing, the CPU fan turns on but i get no video output at all, should i be worried? or should i wait til more parts come in?

you have the memory in correct?

 

[idiot564]

yes i put both sticks in and they seem be fitted correctly

 

[Sn33kyp33t]

everything is plugged in corectly,meaning the power supply all connection are snug?

 

[Namslas90]

Before boot up did you clear the CMOS like the manuel say's.???

 

[idiot564]

yup i moved the jumper from the 1-2 pins to the 2-3 pins and waited for about 5 seconds, should i wait longer?

yes i all power connections seem to fit properly

 

[pt]

what's the brand psu, and the ram exact model?

 

[Sn33kyp33t]

could there be a chipset problem with the memory?

 

[idiot564]

the PSU's brand is dynex, the RAM is G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ

isnt dynex a best buy brand? im sure it has enough to turn on the system but not sure about running it 24/7

yup its from best buy, i had it on an older computer for about 6 months and it worked fine

 

[Sn33kyp33t]

any beeps when you turn on the motherboard?

 

[Namslas90]

yup i moved the jumper from the 1-2 pins to the 2-3 pins and waited for about 5 seconds, should i wait longer?

Did you put the jumper back to the 1-2 pins??!!

 

[Sn33kyp33t]

and you did shut off the psu when cleared cmos right?

 

[idiot564]

the psu wasnt installed yet when i cleared CMOS, and i made sure CMOS was on the right pins, didnt hear any beeps at all

Hopefully not DAO MOBO,

 

[idiot564]

Before you give up, take out the mobo battery and wait overnight then try again.

 

[Joshmcmillan]

Or try a non intergrated video on it just to be sure.

 

[keakar]

make sure your cmos battery isn't dead, test it or swap it out and try again.

also be sure the monitor power is on and has all connections tight

I have the same problem bought the board from fry's electronics - got a gig of ram with it specs on the parts :

PS : 430W Antec Earthwatts model ea-430
RAM: Corsair VS1GB533D2
MOBO: K8M890M-M

I cleared cmos switched batterys plugged in the lights for the front panel as well. Both SYS_FAN and CASE_FAN turn on and spin no beeps at all its like it won't even compleate POST. I thought ok maybe the board is bad or it gets stuck trying to check the ram - removed the stick as an experiment and got a repeating beep. Tossed it back in and nothing no image or anything going to remove the battery overnight and put it back in after work tomorrow.

The manuel says the chipset is the VIA K8M890 northbridge and VIA VT8237R plus/VT8237A Southbridge. If there is any other information I can obtain that would help solve this problem let me know if after work I can't get it to work I'm going back to fry's and make them fix their POS.
