Title: Screen Doesnt Appear on Booting... MB problem?
Post by: Ravingmad on November 27, 2010, 03:34:17 pm

Hi everyone,

I got a new custom made computer recently (5 months ago, all pieces on garanty) and I was having problems with Streaming Video (youtube for example) when I was putting them in Full Screen, the computer was freezing (couldnt Ctrl-Alt-Del, close window or etc), so I had to reset/reboot the computer everytime. A little anoying but the computer was working perfect for the rest (Gaming, Videos from DVDs,Internet Surfing, etc) (I thought of a codec problem more than the computer itself). It happens again yesterday, but this time when I reboot, I couldn't get anything on my computer screen, it was all blank. Like if the screen wasnt communcating with the computer anymore.... I tested the screen on an other computer, no problems.

My HD seems to be working fine, I switch place my Graphic Card the my 2nd slot (PCI 2.0 Express) with no results, tried to boot the computer by switch/removing the RAM Bars.... nothing new. So maybe its the Motherboard...?

I have a 890GPA-UD3H Motherboard, GTX 460 GeForce Graph Card, 4gig of RAM.

Anyone ever experience or heard about a similar problem? I'm clueless unless its the MB.... any ideas???

Hi there,

First thing I would suggest is fully re-setting CMOS. If you're not sure how to do that check here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,2286.0.html

I tried it, it didnt solve the problem. Still having that black screen with nothing, I tried both the Screen on the CardGraph slot and MotherBoard slot, still no result.... I think I'm gonna go to a computer repair shop... to run a full diagnostic of my computer parts....

There could be a fault with the Motherboard, CPU, RAM or other item and trying to find the exact fault can be time consuming and frustrating.
As clearing CMOS didn't work and if you are not confident about troubleshooting or don't have other parts you can swap out then you are probably safest taking it to a repair shop.

What size and make/model is your PSU?
