It won't boot/start... damn...

[Piepz]

So, i buyed a new power supplier for my new PC (350W). A hooked all OK! When I press power button, all Fans, Lights etc turns on, BUT display is blank. I have two VGAs - GeForce FX500 Ultra and the integrated one. With both VGAs i'm getting blank screen. I'm actually think, that's a mother board problem...
Anyone?

any beeps?????

Mobo to FX card edge recepticle may not have peripheral inserted correctly, or the same for your ram.
Very unlikely to be a bad psu.

Exactly my friend. First check for beeps. Thats the first indicator. After reseating the vital components I would recommend removing non-essential parts. Try disconnecting any of these non-essential components, including modems, network cards, hard drives, cd-roms. The computer should boot up fine with just ram, processor and video card installed basically. If removing all these non-essential parts makes the computer boot up then you know something that was removed was causing the problem. Use the process of elimination to find out which part was causing the problem. Try that. Good luck!

Try resetting your cmos if the above doesn't work.

How?
BTW, i dosconnected all parts, only HDD i doesn't disconnect. No, it didn't helped... With VGA all is fine, cuz on onboard VGA is the same as on FX...

Find a jumper on your motherboard, should be near the near the battery. Move the thing from pin 1and2 to pins 2and3 for like 10 seconds or so. Check out your motherboard manual for more details. Good Luck!

Which FX card??

The 5600, 5800 and 5900 series all have Molex connectors that you are supposed to plug in - apparrently they throttle down if you don't plug them in but it could be overloading your motherboard regulators for the AGP slot.

EDIT: lol you have an OC'ed 5600U - I'll shut up now

That jumper didn't work... I also tryied recover BIOS, installation seemed success, but all is the same...

I mean that if you had the OC, you definitely had the molex plugged in :)

I removed my GeForce from my mobo and connected monitor's cable to on-board VGA, ALL WORKED. BUT, I connected GF back again, but DIDN'T connect monitor's cable to GF. Display was blank again... somebody help!

remove the video card and use the onboard video. Then go into BIOS and find an option to disable the onboard video. Shut down add video card and hope it works.

I have a feeling if you read the manual this problem could have been avoided.
