Video (no display) related issues
I built a new computer system using a Soyo board and nothing happens when turning it on, no video and no beeps from the PC speaker. What is happening and how can it be fixed?
No screen and no beeps mean that your CPU and motherboard do not work at all. It could be that the CPU is not seated correctly or that a component on the M/B is grounded (shorted) with the case. Also make sure to check the voltage setting switch (110V/220V) on the back of the power supply. To isolate the problem do the following:
1.Press and hold down on the “Ins” (insert) key while turning on the computer until you get video. If you do not get video then,
2.
I hear a series of beeps and I do not get anything from my monitor. What could be wrong?
The following lists some basic beep codes and their possible meanings:
•One long beep and 3 very short beeps - The video card is not detected by the motherboard. Please
•Continuous beeps – One or more of the memory modules is not seated correctly in its socket.
