Computer help: No Video Signal/No BIOS
No Video Signal/No BIOS
by cnation - 12/25/08 6:07 PMI recently purchased some new parts. Here are the specs:
mobo: XFX Geforce 8200 series SLI
proc: AMD X2 64 4800+
vid: onboard geforce 8200/Geforce EN8400GS 512mb by Asus
mem: 2gb DDR2 Kingston
psu: BFG 550 watt SLI ready
Here's the problem:
PC will not output video. I have tried both the onboard and the add-on card, both VGA and digital. Hard drive does not spin up. Since there is no video, I cannot tell if the BIOS is loading. Probably not, since the HDD will not spin up. Everything looks to be running, all the fans are going.
There are no error beeps, though the system speaker is hooked up. Although, there is an LED on the motherboard I don't know what it means. It is near the PCI-E slot and is labeled "LEDA1". I don't know what that designation means, nor does the documentation tell me what it means. It seems to me that this might be trying to tell me what the problem is, I just can't understand it.
Any advice would be appreciated. Again, all of the parts are new.
IS This the LED..?
