ringfinger Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Kind of trivial retarded questions... but do you have the right kind of connection to your LCD/monitor from your vid card? Are you sure you have enough power for all your components? Have the vid card in the right slot? Do you have on board video you could try with VGA?

Noise Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 The AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is a relatively new CPU. You may need to upgrade the BIOS on your motherboard to support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarman Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Just to make sure, did you plug the 4pin molex that is required for the cpu. I made this mistake once and i had a blank screen also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
