Make sure to push down on the back of the Video card. Many times this is the problem. Expansion cards not seated in the slots. You have to be a little firm with it to make it go all the way in.
By the way, make sure the power cord is pulled out of the box before doing this ![]()
Good luck!
I am building a custom computer and I have a problem. The fans turn on but the drives do not activate and there is no display on the monitor. There are also no beeps.
The M/B is properly grounded and all the components are known to be good. I've tested everything and I suspect the Motherboard. I am using a Abit VI7 and have bought two of them thinking the first one was defective. The same thing happend.
What could be going wrong? Thanks.
