help please (no signal to monitor) *solved*
**problem solved**
ok, I got done with a system rebuild to install my watercooling stuff. The comp booted like normal (fans spun, HD spun, etc), but there was no signal from the monitor
what I did:
installed passive zalman unit on NB (AS5)
put little heatsinks on mosfets (thermal tape)
installed RBX (AS5)
installed custom GPU block (AS5)
put old passive NB heatsink on SB (thermal tape)
What I checked:
all cables and connections from PSU and IDE
no heatsinks were touching stuff they shouldnt be
all monitor cables were plugged in properly
If graphics card was dead (replaced 9800pro with old Geforce4 mx-440. still nothing)
any ideas on what my problem might be??
***edit*** I found out the reason. one of my sticks of ram was not pushed in all the way.
