    New System/Monitor Stuck in Sleep Mode
    « on: April 09, 2007, 04:05:38 PM »
    Hey guys

    New system is finally finished  :)

    One problem so far, My monitor is stuck in Sleep mode. The light is amber and the screen will show nothing. Unplugging it from the computer will cause a "Self Test" thing come up and float around the screen. But when plugging it back in the computer, it goes back to amber and there is no reviving it  :-\

    Thanks for the help as always

      we really require the details of the motherboard and the more details the better we can advise.

      it could be that there is an onboard graphics chip, or that you have not connected the 12volt 4 pin connector to the Graphics card if it is SLI or to the motherboard as newer boards have an extra power requierment,
      we really need the info to help you.

        What is the make and wattage of the power supply? Is it hooked up correctly (as asked earlier but not answered)?

          Hey, sorry about the slow response, lots going on.  :P

          Patio, I can install anything, because the monitor will not come on. I've two other different monitors.

          GX, The PSU is a Rosewill 550w SLI

          I have everything hooked up as stated in MoBo Manual.

          Thanks as always.
