help no signal to monitor and it beeps

i just got all the parts for my computer and i put it all to gether and turned it on and everything sound like it is on but i get a long beep and the screen doesnt come on is there any thing i can do to fix it. thanks

 

try reseating your video card. Make sure it's in the slot completely.

 

i tried reseating it and still on picture and it still beep

 

if it helps i have phoenix awardbios and it has a 4 second beep that is does not stop.

 

I faced this kind of problem..well in my case i took out the RAM cards..cleaned the cards and slots and put them back..it worked..try it..it may help..bye

 

i tryed cleaning it and still nothing do u think it is the ram card that is not working. if it is then should i try buying a new one

 

does any one think that a new ram card might make it work. plz tell me beacuse if u think so i will get a new one tonight

 

did you check your manual for beep codes to find out what the error is specifically?

 

it doesnt have the beeps that i have. the beeps are 4 seconds long and they keep going and dont stop.

 

what motherboard is it..

(I'm going home now and won't be back for a few hours ..sorry)

 

chaintech ct-s848p

 

anyone have any help. i would be very happy if i could get it to work

 

maybe its something with your power supply, because that has happened to me before, make sure everything is plugged in completely, especially your graphics card if it takes power from a power cord as well as the slot, try unplugging stuff, like disc drive or whatever or maybe fans

 

See i no way suggest u to buy new RAM cards unless u are sure what is causing this kind of trouble...dont do that.take care..bye

 

Look in your motherboard manual to see what the beep means.

Also, if it turns out that the bad component is one of the new ones, you can return it and get a working piece.

 

And if your motherboard manual doesn't identify the beep code you're hearing, try the mobo manufacturer's site. And the BIOS manufacturer's site. If that doesn't work, Google "post code beeps" and see if a third-party page has the info you need.

But are you sure about "phoenix awardbios"? I'm under the impression that Phoenix and Award are two unrelated BIOS manufacturers. In other words, it should be one or the other. It's important, because Phoenix beep codes aren't the same as Award beep codes.

I downloaded the manual for that board the other day and it had nothing in it. But judging from Jarchers' list there, it looks to be a bad PSU.

 

Those look rather like the IBM beep codes to me. Other manufacturer's codes are different. If marioman's BIOS is made by Award, it could be a memory problem. See Phoenix's page here for info on AwardBIOS beep codes.

[Re my earlier post: it seems that Phoenix has swallowed Award. I hadn't known that. But it does look as if the BIOSes are still different -- and have different beep codes.]

 

i think it is the ram beacuse i took ont the power suply and put it in another computer and it worked. now all i have to do is find some one that has DDR memory and put it in to see if that works.
