random "no input signal" problem

[promethious612]

computer specs:

(nothing is overclocked or has ever bean overclocked)

intel core 2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz

4GB OCZ DDR2 memory

Evga 780i sli Motherboard

Evga 8800 GTS 512MB DDR3

450 Wat power supply

This computer is a custom build and is running window vista ultimate 64bit edition
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Problem:
-The monitor will randomly turn to a "No input signal" but the computer will stay on. i will then turn of the computer and turn it back on and the muther board will not boot all the way. It stops at 52 which the book says is a memory problem. I think i have a dying or dead motherboard though it is only 6 moths old. Does anyone else have any ideas. This is what i have done so far to fix trouble shoot it.

Trouble shooting so far.

- reset the bios to factory settings.
- took out the graphics card and the reinstalled it.
- reseeded the memory(took it out started it up turned it of put it back in) This is the only thing that worked a little. The problem would go away for a little while then come back and i would have to reseed the memory again.
- used different memory that i know are good
- tried different dim slots.

sounds like you got it figured out. motherboard is probably dead, try a bigger power supply i think 450 watts is a little low for your system, that is probably not the cause of the problem though.

yeah thats what i figured it was an expensive motherboard so i really was hoping that was not the case. Thanx for the input i new 450 was too low but have not had the money to upgrade. Looks like i am going to be spending all my money on a new mobo

yeh, i would take it to your local computer shop(not best buy) and see what they say.

 

[promethious612]

lol 60 dollars an hour to tell me something i already know, i don't think so. But on the same hand if is not the mobo then it would be worth it hmm i will have to think on this.

 

[iamchickenlover]

yeh, if the motherboard is only worth 60 dollars that don't do it, if it worth more than it might be worth it to take it in.

mobo about $110 lol was $250 when i bought it
