building computer

Hello

I just finished putting together my computer, well the motherboard ive had for a little over a year never been used, in the box. the processor from ebay used, the HD is from another computer so its used. The DVD Playermn is also used from another computer, Just finished, the lights on the case turn on, but i dont get an image, could it be that some of the parts are used,

please i need some insight.

Thanks

 

could be some of the parts, could be the chassis front panel could be a lot of things.

That's what I've figured out so far.. I'm going through the same exact thing. I'm about to bring my computer in to best buy or micro center tomorrow to have them deal with it.

 

A wee bit more information would help us, What is the Motherboard, do all the fans spin, any ''Beeps' does you motherboard require the extra 4 pin power connector, what memory etc ???

 

As the others have mentioned more info on the motherboard (brand and model number) will be needed. You also didn't say if you were using the motherboard's on board video or have a video card in one of the slots. Onboard video could not be working if that's how you have it hooked up.

Hello all

Well the DVD player does not turn on, THe HD does turn, the fans do turn on,
Im using the onboard video. Im using only one memory stick, the motherboard is ECS g31t-m. So conclusion the DVD player does not turn on, and dont see an image. Hope this is the info you requested.

Thanks

 

Did you put a new Battery in as DavidGP said ? Do you have a Blank/Black screen with a small white square top left of screen, if this is so it will be the battery needs renewing. When you say The 'DVD Player'' I assume you mean the DVD/CD Rom where your place your Operating Disc in. If there is NO light at all check your power lead is well seated/connected, try another connector. Once again have you connected the 4 pin extra power lead, this is usually a Yellow and Black cable that connects to the White/Transparent 4 pin connector on your motherboard. Are you using the correct memory ie. Dual Channel DDR-2 240 pin.
