Hey guys, I've got a problem with my monitor/display and I hope it's not a sign of the mobo going bad. My computer all of a sudden decided to freeze up, and upon restart, the monitor won't get a signal, the light stays yellow. All the other components appear to be running fine, all fans spin, and the HDD appears to be running, there's just no display going to the monitor. I've tried two monitors on it and two different vid cards, I've unplugged and rearranged the RAM, and still nothing. Also, for some reason, when it starts up, the DVD drive keeps acting like it wants to spin, and just keeps clicking away. I'm completely stumped, and hopefully this isn't a sign of the mobo going bad. Any help would be great appreciated!

Hello,

I have had my LCD for about 2.5 years now. I was using it with a DVI connection and recently it stopped working when I boot up the computer. The light on the monitor just keeps flashing and nothing ever displays. I switched to VGA (analog) and it worked, but the next day, the same thing started to happen. I decided to test it on my brother's CPU, and his old 15 inch HP CRT monitor on my CPU. Lo and behold his monitor works on my CPU, and my LCD works on his computer. What is the problem and how can I fix it? Thank you.

Had almost the same problem. I had to force the shut down holding the power button. Then the comp didnt even boot, just did that high pitched beep continuously. Tried to unplug hard disk/keyboard/mouse/monitor, but still wont boot and made those beeps. So then i removed the RAM, booted, turned it off, replaced the RAM, booted and it was all working fine. Looks like it had something to do with the ram (memory cache flushed?). Anyway, it works fine now.

I have the same problem right now.

I think it's the mobo.

I went and bought a new PCI Express card today and it did not help.

Hopefully, I can take it back.

netnerd - Jan 18, 2009 08:42PM

Hi,

I had this problem with my daughter's computer last year and mine just a week ago. I read all over the internet that if you take the ram out and your computer doesn't beep, the mobo is bad. Since neither of ours beeped, I assumed the mobo was bad. I put my daughter's computer out in the garage to eventually find a recycling place to take it.

With mine, I had taken all the ram out, and didn't get the beeps, but I happened to have a new stick of ram unopened on my desk, intended for a different computer. I didn't think it would work at all, but I put it in, and it worked. All I needed was new ram.

I pulled my daughter's computer out and tried the ram in it, and it worked as well.

Moral of the story: Don't rely on beeps.

Both our computers had the same symptoms of powering up, the hard drive whirring, the fans blowing, but nothing on the screen and the processor got hotter and hotter the longer I left it on. Maybe the processor appreciates ram.

Hello,

My monitor says ''NO SIGNAL'' and then, it goes to the "power save mode". I tried to plug everything again and it's still not working.
I'm desperate. I've tried everything. Please help me!

fatawu - Jul 30, 2009 01:59PM

my power pack works but my winfast motherboard doesn't. Nothing works at all. It has amd sempron 28000 processor.
I have removed all peripherals in order to locate the fault yet no news. Help me revive my dead board.

1. Have you look at the other side of the mobo for moisture deposites or some syllicate link broken or scratch in the nortbridge / cpu area ?

2. Remove all pci slots except graphic card and give it a try...

3. Grab something small and thin and start tapping arround cooling fan (not on motherboard area !!!)

4. Maybe it is the problem in power supply of mobo :

Get the screwer and release a bit screw holding down mobo , one at a time and stay tuned if the monitor / POST screen turns on (the mobo might be tighten to hard)

5. If you have some other ram beside yours take it and replace that in your computer and see if this will work

6. CPU maybe gone or adjusted wrong in his standings (check also little syllicate pins of cpu at the backside - if any of them is screwed or damaged buy a new one)

Mine is doing exactly the same. Everything spinning but only thing that i can see is the CD rom light flashing. It has gone in to repair so will soon find out.

Felix - Jan 25, 2009 08:27PM

Did you ever find out what was wrong with it when you went to repair?? Same thing happened to mine tonight. I got a "usb controller has exceeded bandwidth" which froze the computer. I then did a manual restart (pushing power button) and then comp won't post anymore, fans going, cd drive working, everything humming, but nothing on video. It almost sounds like it is caught in a loop by the whirring noises it makes. Tried doing the reset cmos jumpers, didn't work.

I am experiencing the same problem. I changed hard drives about two weeks ago and cleaned the inside. There is no signal but all fans lights and drives are working. I was considering changing the cpu. Did you experience the same problem before getting a new cpu?
