haven't been on here in a while as i had no internet connection until today ok well my rig will now power up but i get no video out of it?? i have checked the video card works so does the screen and the cable, i attached a buzzer but got no codes coming out of it, i have tried both pci-e slots and s...

ok so i bought a jeantech storm 700 and got exactly the same problem so thought screw this bought an asus m2n32 sli dlx wi-fi to try this time and it wont even post i am now thinking of having a lovely bonfire in my garden of all things electical! i'm thinking my cpu could have been damaged somehow?...

ok well it looks like i'm ordering an ocz stealth 600w psu to test my setup with so i'll know if its the psu or not.

no i dont have the means to test my cpu or mobo, but i've had no problem with either up until now.

ok well i'm testing the psu in an old system (amd sempron 3300 on a random foxconn board with 1 gig of ram) and it seems to be working fine it maybe that its not under much stress so i may order another mobo to test my setup on??

yeah it did, i've been trying to run it with an old graphics card i have that i know works fine but it just freezes up no matter what within 2 mins of me turning it on now.

it was a blank hard-drive i tryed a fresh install of windows but it just freezes, i also tryed 2 run boot n nuke 2 blank my other hard-drive but that wouldnt run either

i can't it either freezes just after i get into windows or before that so i cant run anything, the power supply has always been fine it ran my hd2900xt with no problems

well i did uninstall the drivers between swapping out the cards, but i also tried booting with a different hard drive in and my normal one unplugged so if there was a driver conflict it wouldn't matter anyway??

ok well my sig didnt show so the setup i'm using is as follows

asus m2n32 ws pro mobo
AMD athlon 64 5400x2 black edition cpu
2x 1gb ocz pc2 6400 gold ram
850 watt alpha power psu
swiftech h20 120 compact water cooler
ATI radeon 1650 graphics card

ok well i installed 2 8600gts cards in my rig (setup is in my signiture) and it kept resetting itself so i went back to an old graphics card that i know works fine and now my system keeps freezing sometimes in windows and sometimes before, i have tried changing my hard-drive, clearing c-mos and i ha...

already completed the main quest with my old graphics card, but this one lets me run on high quality with lots of other settings enabled!

ok well got home this morning and had a knock on the door its a delivery man from royal mail on a sunday? thats a new one for me! oh well got my ATI RADEON HD2900XT so i shall see how it handles fallout 3,

ok wel i spent a few mins tidyin the cables up and it looks better already!

but you were right according to the mobo manual!

ok dan thanks, i did have another 2gig of the same ram in but lent 2 to my mate that would be why they are where they are!

tell me about it im gonna order some of that cable wrap i think so it looks better.

well it runs full load at 37 degrees according to sisoft sandra so its not too bad! anywho heres a few pics of the rig so far (sorry about the size of them!) http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa255/loki-will-kill-you/DSCN2140.jpg http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa255/loki-will-kill-you/DSCN2141....

its been working fine back to my crappy old graphics card till my replacement turns up which is an ATI RADEON HD2900XT so that should do for the moment, just need to get some overclocking done.

@ skippman, what do you mean so far? now i'm paranoid

sorry about the lack of pics i cant find my cam cable! ok well my new graphics card is now not working properly so i'm returning it and buying another. on the overclocking side can anyone reccomend any good reading or info as i cant find alot on my board and cpu (or am i being an idiot?) anywho any ...
