8RDA+ very bizzare issue - RESOLVED!!!
i am building a completely new system. Epox 8RDA+, AMD 2600, (2) Kingston Hyper X dimm, Ti4200 128 DDR (short card).
upon putting everything together i took my tower to a friend to set up and tweak the BIOS. He set it up and i brought my system back home to install the OS. As soon as i fired it up, my monitor didnt want to recognize a signal coming out. So i powered it off and back on and all i was getting was quickly scrolling text from the bios.
thought there may be some issue with the vid card, so i sent it back. while waiting for a replacement i put in another brand ti4200 and got the same result, quickly scrolling text.
ok...so...must be mobo, right?!? ordered a replacement mobo and recieved the new vid card and new mobo today. put them back in my case and...the exact same result as before... unreadable quickly scrolling text!
im at a loss. i have had 3 of my computer science grad friends take a look at it to no avail.
any thouhgts?!?
thx!
