Suggestion. Try another monitor. Reset VGA to default. Bah, youve probably done all that already. And i was looking forward to getting a Zotac board myself for a future build. This does make me want to NOT get it. Love your mod. Hope to se it done sooner than later
You do do realise that that board has VGA, DVI and HDMI? iirc, either this board or another itx one has a jumper for the output. Do a full reset and try all the inputs..
I can only hope Zotac reads your comment and takes it positively. I understand that India is not really high on any tech company's priority list and that my situation is fairly unique but still, it's a big pain to be stuck with a dud board. I've tried VGA, didn't work. I don't have any HDMI monitors so I never really bothered with cables. I'll try and see if I can take it over to a friend's place and test it there. I can't find my 3450 and my 5870 is on an LN2 test bench. Might go shopping for a really cheap PCIe card for situations like these. Thanks for the sugestion.
It's back! It's Alive! Looks like my CPU was to blame. Just on a whim, I had it RMA'ed and when the new one got back from Intel, the PC powered up fine! Guess I shouldn't have been so quick to abuse the living daylights out of Zotac I'm just not used to having CPUs go belly-up ever. Unfortunately I ran out of Dremel cutting discs so now I can't get the backplate finished. I'll buy some more discs on Monday and wrap this sucker up ASAP.
In August. I'm at univ at the moment and the rig's at home. Got to tidy up the backplate and maybe make a logo for it.
Regarding the mobo situation (or rather CPU) first step is to always attach a speaker to the mobo. if it beeps it's not dead (= Anyway nice mod u have here and I'll check back in august for the final pics. Regards, WOlfskin07
