Hi all, again!! hope you all had a good Xmas and got what you wanted from Santa!! Anyway to my problem, when i boot my computer up the screen wont start, just says "no connection", i have to turn it off from the plug sometimes 2 or 3 times for say 10 secs or more, and then it come on as it should after booting the puter up i'm running win 7 and have an AMD chip AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz 9MB Cache Socket AM3 Retail Box Processor Asrock 890GX Extreme3 Socket AM3 DVI VGA HDMI Out 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard Gigabyte GTX 460 OC 1GB GDDR5 OC Edition Dual DVI HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card
Hi, "no connection" sounds like a bad connection to the boot drive. I had this this other day after gutting an old pc and had forgotten to plug the sata cable back into the boot drive.. Standard i.t question - is the sata/power connection firmly in place on the drive/motherboard? Could be a bad sata cable/power cable, though not that likely I guess...? Has it been working fine up until recently? Have you been tinkering inside the case recently? Q.
Mmmmmm. . . I thought "No Connection" displayed on the monitor meant that the monitor in question wasn't connected to the graphics card or isn't receiving a signal from the graphics card. Nothing to do with the hard drives. OP: Your running a motherboard with it's own graphics solution and you have a GTX 460. So go into the BIOS and ensure that you disable the on-board graphics. See if that helps.
Its a new build, and i plugged my old monitor in and the same thing happened, i will take the side off and check the plugs, and get back to you if its a fix or not... thanks guys Just to add the strange thing is, if i was to turn it off now, it would reboot as normal and the monitor would start up
Could be a dud 4600GTX well worth the simple check. I've have a few new parts come as duds especially RAM.
went to the bios, and made it all as default, shut off the turbo boost, shut down, its been a few hours now before i started the puter up, and it cam on fist time as it should
