    Motherboard Problem
    « on: November 01, 2009, 08:54:41 PM »
    Hello,

    I'm a beginner who recently took to trying to build my own computer.  I have the case, power unit, motherboard, CPU, and memory all installed correctly.  Now, my first problem is that when I start my computer, the blue light and the fans go on, but the speaker that came with my case doesn't beep(at all), and I can't use the power button to turn my computer back off.  The fan on the CPU is spinning, the case fan spins, but there is no message from my speaker.  Secondly, when the machine first starts up, the keyboard lights all flash once, and then they go dark.  Is this more of a motherboard problem or a CPU issue.  Or is it the memory?  I'm new to this and I figured this forum is my best shot at help seeing as how real customer service is a dead art form.  Any ideas?  Am I missing something?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Well first off, the keyboard lights are supposed to all light up and then go off, thats usually normal. Do you see anything on the screen? You didnt mention any GPU.

        I'm using a RealtekHD Radeon 4650, but its not being picked up by the motherboard.  So when I hook up my monitor its telling me that there's no signal.  I guess I could be missing something, I'm hoping its me and not the machine.  Thanks for the reply by the way.

          Now, do you hear the HDD spinning at all? Also I may be wrong but i know on my desktop I never get a beep from the internal speaker.

            yeah, it sounded as tho it was.  Is the video card incompatible?  Does it matter that it turns on but not off?

                Looks like a similar issue here:

                http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=300409

                maybe it isnt the same.  Were you ever able to get any kind of screen to display? Ever update the bios? You might want to uninstall and then reinstall the GPU.  ALso with the computer not turning off, what do you mean? Like you hold down the power button for a couple seconds and it wont turn off?

                And no problem for helping you out. I will try my best, im just not an expert lol

                  No screen displays, can't get to BIOS, and thats exactly the issue with the power button.  I'm thinking its an MB, CPU, or RAM issue.  Its strange tho, because I feel as thos everything is working, it just isnt picking up my video card.  I'm going to try and bring it to a buddy at work tommorow to see if they can see wat the problem is, although I would rather try to fix it myself.  The whole learning exprience thing.  Anyway I've got to get some sleep for now.  Can I contact you again in the future if the problem is still around?  Thanks for your help too at such a late hour.
