HELP: No VGA output on new motherboard.

I need some help. I'm really puzzled now.

I've built a new desktop with the following:

ASROCK N68C-GS UCC
AMD AMD Athlon 64 X2 7550 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+ 2MB Cache OEM Processor
2GB DDR3 RAM

Any ideas why the motherboard will not output any picture?

This is the second board. I returned the first thinking it was the board problem. Now I think it is me.

The power supply is providing 350W.

Just to tell you, the harddrive is SATA and is running when switched on. The CPU fan is spinning. The power supply is working.

No beep sounds from the board.

Also a final note. I have prior experience of building computers.

And...worse still, I don't have graphics card available to check.

  • Dodgy VGA cable? Do you have a spare.

    CPU not seated properly?

    Maybe try a clear CMOS.

    :cool:

    Ok. Tried the above. The stupid board is was rubbish board. I managed to fix it. It had something to do with a dodgey brand new DDR3 memory, although it says it supports it.
