Hi,
trying to help a friend, he brought a new mobo which replaced a HP one, its the same socket and supports his processor, he plugged his stuff back in, hard drive, memory etc and switched on but the monitor says no signal? does anyone know why this is happening? Is it a case of just removing old mobo and putting new one in, connecting up and powering on? did this but nothing..... any ideas

What is the new motherboard? No mention of loading any motherboard chipset drivers, did you?:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

Can you get into BIOS ok? If so make sure that its switched to output via the onboard and NOT a graphics card. Also that it SEES the hard drives and disc drives.:idea:0

it should be a case of just swapping everything if its the same socket configuration. - did you use thermal compound when seating the cpu? When switching on is the hard drive spinning up? fans etc.
Have you plugged in the internal mic and is that beeping when powering up?Don't try to teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time and annoys the pig0 -
its a asus p5k if i remember correctly, not mine so not sure. i didnt load any drivers or nothing, could not as nothing on screen but "no signal" .
It is the same socket config etc and the fans spin when powered on and so forth. only thing is there is no beeps?0 -
