anthonyaudi Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 do u have 2 video cards on the machineis one onboardis one pciif yes then try plugging to the other videocardif that still doesnt work take out the pci card and reset the biosand plug ur monitor into the onboard videocard(you probably arent recieving any video because ur monitor isnt plugged into the right video card)otherwise if it powers up but does not beep or anything it can be 1 of 3 possible failures1)your cpu is dead2)your motherboard is dead3)there is short somewhere on your motherboard which means u might have to take the mobo out of the case and resit it back in or try powering it up outside of the case to see. If it powers up outside of the case there is a short in your case)On a side note10ghz?wtfmoores law says the fastest a processor can go is about 4.x ghz on a single core..

Ponch Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 hi i just purchased amd quad 10ghz phenomDid you get the parts or was it built ? If built, contact the reseller. If parts, reset any aditional card/cable, begining with video card, memory, fan connectors.Also, did they make you pay for 10GHz ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I hate it when OEMs sell machines with nVidia chipsets and then put an ATI card in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamehead200 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Also, did they make you pay for 10GHz ? I'm pretty sure he meant 2.5GHz per core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
