No Bios Screen on Boot?

Question

GA-M57SLI-S4 - Replaced Once
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ - Replaced Once
500W PSU-Never Replased or Tested
Xfx Nvidea 8600 GT- Works has been tested in another computer.
Gskill- DDR2 800

I bought the above parts on Newegg and put together the computer. First attempt there was boot up, all the fans turned on but there was no visuals at all. The pereferal divices such as keyboard, mouse and Flash USB drive where tested for power and none responded what so ever. Thinking simply it was a CPU or Motherboard problem I sent the CPU back tested the new one, same problem, sent the Motherboard back, same problem. Im thinking most likely it is a PSU problem but I tested the voltage of the 4 Prong that helps the Cpu and it read fine. Plugs appear to be in place correctly and the videocard has the extra power going to it from the perferial plug. No responce from audio or video still. I think this is a PSU problem but am not shure. Along with testing the PSU what other thing could this problem be?

Answer 1

Could be bad ram, a CPU that isnt seated correctly, could be the motherboard 'MB' isnt grounded correctly thus will not completly turn on, you have to listen to the beep code to find out whats wrong. Different beeps will tell you whats wrong. It is also possible that you recieved two bad MB's or CPU's in a row. I have seen cases when i had 12 bad MB's in a row before having a working one!!! Listen to the beep code and then post a question on here to answer that. something like two quick beeps, or 3 long beeps for "posting"==post = power on self test. post beeps is what you listennig for. good luck! make sure your cpu has cpu grease on it too

Answer 2

It definitely sounds like a powersupply problem Based on everything you have written I really can't think of anything else. I have two computers that died on me because of powersupply problems. I would not buy the cheap power supplies ($35 or less). Buy something decent above $50.

Answer 3

About 30 seconds in the microwave should take care of most of your problems. Good luck!

Answer 4

there is in all probability a concern inclusive of your IDE cable or inclusive of your SATA cable or your no longer hassle-free disk must be harm. If this occurs back attempt to change the IDE cable of your no longer hassle-free force or attempt yet another no longer hassle-free disk on your workstation.
