Hello,
I'm building a new computer this week, and i'm having problems with my setup.
Here are the components used:
Case: CM Cosmos S
PSU: Ultra X3 1600W
UPS: APC XS 1300va
MOBO: ASUS Rampage II Extreme
CPU: Intel Core i7 920
Ram: OCZ DDR3 3x2gb Gold Triple Channel 1600MHz 8-8-8-21
VGA: EVGA GeForce GTX 295 Plus
HDD: Seagate 7200.11 1.5tb
LCD: Dell 2709w
KB: Logitech G15
Mouse: none atm... waiting on a bluetooth dongle :|
Everything is at stock settings.
After I assembled everything, it booted up just fine. I popped in a Vista x64 dvd, and started the setup.
The setup took a long time to load, so i assumed that the vista setup was looking for devices that were not there. I decided to reboot the system and disable some devices that were not used, but once i turned the pc off... it would not post. On the LCD Poster i can see CMOS ERR.
I swapped out the GTX 295 with an old radeon x800xt i had. The system does boot to bios now. I updated the bios to the lates version, and put the gtx 295 back in. Still get the same CMOS ERR, and nothing on the screen.
Is there any way around this? Could it be mobo+vga compatibility?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
UPDATE: After installing backup video card, i was able to install vista. When i put in my gtx 295, i still don't get anything showing on the screen, but the computer boots into vista, as i can hear the login chime... i'm assuming this is a video issue... what do i do??? :biggrin:
