I recently had some problems with my old Motherboard/CPU and I couldn't figure out why it was doing this.
CPU = AMD Athlon XP 3200+
Mobo = Asus A7V8X-X
Now, the other combo worked great for a few years, and then all of a sudden, I come home from work the other day and my computer is running, but there is nothing displayed. Monitor is working fine, I tested it out on another system, and tested the computer on another monitor which proceeded to make the new monitor display nothing.
All cables were checked, everything was fine.
I chalked it up that when I did my last Thermal Compound change, (which was 3 days before this occurence) that I had messed up somehow and screwed the CPU....So I went to a few forums to ask away.
No motherboard beeps when the computer starts at all.
I decided it was my video card, purchased a new one, same problems.
I then decided it was my motherboard/cpu so I purchased a new one.
Installed it not less then 30 minutes ago, and I'm still having the same problem, I have nothing being displayed on my monitor's, no special characteristics about the computer. No special enhancements.
New equipment is
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Asus A8V Socket 939 VIA Chipset
I'm going into withdrawl without my computer, and I can't seem to fix it this time. I'm "experienced" with computer knowledge, but only to a point, I've exhausted all my options save for swapping all the components in the computer for new ones. Can anyone tell me why my motherboard has no beeps, my monitor displays nothing.
If it was the RAM, would it not have some Beeps?, I've had RAM problems before, had to buy new ones, but I had beeps then.
