He posted this on my message board:
"So, I got the new mobo and processor and stuff installed, everything is good to go. The tragic thing is that I'm having the same problem that I did before. When I boot up, everything runs, but I don't get any response on the monitor. It works perfectly with my old computer, but I've tried 3 different graphics cards, and none work in the new computer. Any clue what would do this? Or, do you know where I could look? I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 tries to get the power to kick on. It'll flicker every time, but most of the time it just goes back off right away. Thus, I'm sad. Somebody please direct me to a fix."
This is his second mobo. One of the guys that was helping out said that a capacitor or something was burned and that's why it wasn't working, so he sent it and the processor back and got an AMD. Now I guess he has the same problem.
The video card is PCI Express, would this have anything to do with it? His first one had onboard video, though it was only through an RCA connection, but even trying that didn't yield any sort of results.
Thoughts?
