Title: Pretty huge computer problem
Post by: Seb on July 30, 2011, 06:01:01 AM
I was able to reformat (thx gamefreak)

Basically, it doesn't connect to the monitor, keyboard, or mouse. At all.

It still sounds just like it was booting normally, just without connecting to the input/output devices.

no USB device power at all? o_O

if the USB worked, I'd say re-seat the GPU.. but it doesn't

return away

You probably need to update the BIOS/update USB drivers. Have you tried connecting your monitor to your onboard gpu output?

I have no idea what that is. I'm going to assume it's the graphics card, which it is already connected to.

Look at the back of the motherboard, where all the I/O ports and connectors are. Do you see anything that resembles a VGA or a HDMI slot that you can connect your monitor to? If so, connect it to that and boot-up, not from the graphics card. If there is still no image, then try removing your graphics card so your BIOS can use its 2nd boot option.

There is nothing like that on my motherboard, the graphics card owns that, too.

The only display ports (don't know if that's the actual) are where the graphics card is.

Horay shet.

If it was the reformat...maybe it fucked something up with your HDD. Have you tried using a different HDD?

1) Horey shit? Good "horey shit" ("horey shit you're using an i7 processor) or bad "horey shit" ("horey shit you're using an AMD processor")?

2. I highly doubt so, but I don't think I have a different spare HDD just lying around. I'd take my old computer's but it's really tightly packed in there.

Okay fuck you >:( Horey shit as in, dat nice mobo.

Well the hard-drive had to screw up something. The only thing I could think of last is plugging that hard drive into another computer and testing if one of the components in your computer went bad.

Why... so your saying it does not connect to the monitor?
That means NOTHING displays on screen when you boot it?

Would I be able to plug the hard drive in my old computer like if I were to plug in a phone or would I have to take one out and put the other? Because my new computer is easily two times bigger than my old computer.

NOTHING. Absolutley nothing. It's like it's not plugged in, and I've tried using different cables.

You gotta take one out and put in the other.

The wires in the old computer are all over the place and the new computer's wires are way too tightly packed, I'm just gonna have my mom's boyfriend handle it.

From what you said.
The problem can only be
1.Mobo
2.Graphics card

Your mobo does not have any onboard graphics either...
So your stuck until you can get an extra test graphics card.
