Hi Folks
Really, REALLY exceptionally frustrated and need your help to figure out wtf the problem is with my benching setup. Thought I killed the pcie slots in one of my rampage extreme x48's but when I tried with the new setup (msi xpower and g3258), still experienced the same issue. Got me thinking something else is wrong.
Issue: Monitor does not come to life and display anything on any benching setups.
What I've tried:
- Test monitor and cable. Connected the monitor and cable to a different computer. Monitor came right to life and displayed everything properly. No issue with monitor or cable.
- Test vga card. Will try the vga card in a different computer but have tried 3 other, known working cards in a variety of motherboards with no success. I don't think it's a problem with the vga card....tried 4, nothing worked.
- Test motherboard. Tested with 2 other rampage extreme x48's and an msi z97 xpower ac. All seem to work...mouse/kbd lights up and all setups seem to post/boot but still nothing appears on the monitor.
- Test ram. Tested multiple, known working sticks on all motherboards. Nothing.
- Test psu. Have tried with 3 psu's. No difference.
- Test cpus. Only have 1 1150 cpu but tried multiple, known working 775 cpus in 3 rexes. Nada.
Any ideas???? Driving me crazy now. Was hoping to get some benching in this weekend Other thing I tried is plugging the monitor directly into a wall outlet (as opposed to it's normal plug-in spot on a ups, no difference).
tia!!
