So I sold my old e6600 to a friend and bought a shiny new q9550 for my system, put it in but would turn on with now output. Put the old CPU in but same thing happened, was in a rush to get out so I thought no biggie, I will fix it when I get back.
Processor is a q9550, memory is corsair xms2 6400(fancy old dhx stuff) GFX cards are 2 9600's.
At LAN I had the problem once that I had no signal but when I tried the other DVI port on the secondary card it worked fine, I am currently running the mobo on my desk withthe bare essentials hooked up, 1 stick of memory, CPU, 1 GFX card and still it powers on fine, then lights on the mobo when the PSU is plugged in, then the other light comes on when I cross the pins (screwdriver). There is no beep, I used an old little mobo speaker to test but it doesn't beep at all, like no series to indicate a fault but no single beep to indicate POST. I tried both my GFX cards but it makes no difference, there is nothing on screen and now I am wondering if the speaker could be not working and I am starting to get more than a little pissed off. I have resetted the CMOS by the button on the I/O at the back and also by leaving the battery out while the psu is unplugged and then I went away for a shower.
Nothing I have tried works and need some insight as to what I have not tried or could be the problem.
Oh and the mobo is a MSI p7n sli platinum.
Thankyou.
