Video issues can come up for a number of reasons, so below, we'll try and identify some of the main ones for you to try and troubleshoot...| The computer seems to be up and running, but there is no POST or Boot! | If the system fans are running, and all lights and sounds seem to look OK, first check test the power supply to ensure that its good (some times a defunct power supply will give enough power to make it seem like the system is operating properly, but doesn't provide enough power to actually run).
Next, Try switching out different types of RAM in each of the memory slots. Oftentimes, if the right memory is not in place initially, the system will not POST. Try installing another video card into the AGP/PCI/PCIe slot that is in your system and try booting up with the monitor connected to that. If you need help finding the right video card, simply ask a build instructor for help. And finally, try hooking up to a different monitor, or use different cables for the hook-up. If this still doesn't work, simply reach out to a Build Instructor and bring them up to speed on where you are with your issue. |
