Right, in reference to the other thread, I've received everything and put it together and... I have absolutely no signal going to the monitor or whatever I plug into the graphics card... I've plugged a variety of monitors into it but to no avail. I turn it on, everything seems to come to life with no real distress (apart from the pc speaker thing, go down two paragraphs)
It's all completely new (the only original items are the case and dvd-r) so I haven't got a clue where to start looking. I can't replace the graphics card because it's PCI-E and my old one is AGP and there's no onboard VGA out. I also thought taking the SATA drives out and putting an IDE in might help, but nay. I think that's all I can think of trying so far.
Another problem is the pc speaker, it's very very staticcy (sp). I hear a muffled beep (the motherboard manual says one short beep is a good sign...) when I turn it on, and then the static just gets louder and louder up until I turn it off. I've tried plugging an alternative case's pc speaker into the motherboard and it did the same thing...
Relevant specs are:
Pentium 4 3.8GHz
Gigabyte GA-8I915P-D Pro i915P
2Gb Value Select DDR2, 533 MHz
256Mb XFX PCI-E 6800Ultra
650W Silverstone ST65ZF-GM
As always, some guidance through this dark and murky world I live in would be welcomed with open arms and possibly even a fiver.
