Monitor in standby

[badsector]

I've assembled some new hardware, Asus A8N SLi Deluxe, AMD64 3.2, Asus 6600 GT and 2x512 Kingston.

When I turned on the pc the monitor stays in standby mode. I checked memories in my old pc and they work fine.

Any one knows what could be the problem?

checked some power options ? ( Control Panel )

When I turned on the pc the monitor stays in standby mode.

So no Windows for me...

You're using a DVI connection ?

 

[badsector]

Just the normal connection, dunno the name :x

Have you tried another GFX card in place of the 6600GT? A less powerfull one which works may point the finger at your PSU.

I bought a Be Quiet! 420W so i think i dont have probs with power, and i can't test with other video card because i only have that with PCI-E. 🙁

Are all the fans spinning up and staying on when you power up the system?

 

[badsector]

yep ...

i have a similar problem and decided it was the motherboard. i too have an Asus motherboard....everything powers on but no video...waiting on a response from Asus as we speak

I've not used a PCI-E card but perhaps it could be a bios setting?
