new mobo plus ram wont boot only bleeps

[andrewtyson]

hi ive just bought a asrock n7ad-sli mobo 4gb of ocz ddr2 highend mem pc2 6400 800 mhz put it alltogether and all i get is one long bleep and 8 short bleeps, ive only just changed the insides as it was a ccl build computer and did not want to invalidate the warrenty.

I've tried different memory and a smaller graphic card but the monitor wont start up.
I only got the RAM and mobo at the weekend and have tried pushing all cables and cards to make sure seated ok but no diffrence.
The power pack it a 600w one the graphic card is a zotac 8800gt and was ok on the last mobo , I think the processor is a quad core q6600 but not sure.

Thanks for any help given, before I take apart and take them back to ccl,

P.S. just upgraded to windows 7, wot a load of **** its coming of when comp starts again.

que ? don't understand ! gobbledegook etc

[andrewtyson]

new mother board and memory now only getting one long bleep and 8 short bleeps on start up, nothing on monitor

[Yorkie]

If the board has an AMI Bios the beep codes relate to Video Card Problems

[andrewtyson]

i put a old card in but still not work but both work in old mother board, ive pushed them firmley in to the socket ive even moved the card into a diffrent slot but still no screen on monitor just the bleeps,

[Listey]

is the 6 pin connected to the gfx card from the psu?

[andrewtyson]

yes one power to card which turns the fan on and it works,
one power cord to mother board 24 pin,
then two power wires to a 8 socket on motherboard but will work with either 20 pin and 4 pin power cabled depending on psu,
hard drives spin up.

Its just that no display to monitor it just says no signal.
Looks like might have to take to local computer shop to sort out or take the parts out and put old ones back in. and send back to ccl.

Your post's are a little hard to follow. Try breaking them down in to bullet points.

• You had..
  (System Spec)
• You did..
  (New items you put in)
• What you've done to fix it..
  - (Removed all but one stick of ram)
  - (Tried old GPU)

Please don't think I'm trying to be condescending it's just we might be abale to help you solve this if we have the information in a format where we can see the whole picture. Also please try and use paragraphs.

*** EDIT ***
I've updated your posts layout so there a little easier to read and I think you need to try a few things.

1. Remove all hardware from the system bar,
   - Mobo
   - RAM
   - CPU
   - PSU
   - GPU
   See if you get a response. If you do start plugging stuff in until it stops working.
2. Remove all stick's of RAM and try to get it to post using only one stick at a time.
3. Try clearing the CMOS.
4. Have you screwed the mobo to the case? Please tell me you used the brass standoffs'??

Also.. what the heck is wrong with windows 7?! Fantastic OS.

You've changed motherboard and you don't know what CPU you've fit to it?

I'm scared that anything anyone says is gonna end in electrocution or magic smoke, so I'm not even going to suggest anything

[andrewtyson]

I'm not a computer buff I only know that the processor is a quad core 2.4Ghz.

Yes I placed on to brass pins.

I will look on CCL's web site to see if they still do the computer I ordered and put the numbers on here.

Like I say I know just a little bit and if I put the old mother board back in with the old memory it works.
It's just that since buying a new motherboard and extra memory that I cannot get it to fire up on the screen, I just get 0ne long bleep then eight short bleeps then nothing.

Anyway just of to find the numbers for you

PARAGRAPHS PLEASE

It's very hard to read anything you type if it's all in one blob. All it's going to do is slow us helping you down.


Have you tried anything I suggested? apart from making sure its on the brass stand off's?

1. Remove all hardware from the system bar,
- Mobo
- RAM
- CPU
- PSU
- GPU
See if you get a response. If you do start plugging stuff in until it stops working.

2. Remove all stick's of RAM and try to get it to post using only one stick at a time.

3. Try clearing the CMOS.

What's the make and model of the new motherboard.

this is wot i bought of ccl i then swapped the xfx card for a ....
zotac 8800gt amp edition 512mb ddr3 hdcp oc spdif d/d/tv
all this works......
i then this weekend bought a asrock n7ad-sli mother board
ram 1019 ocz ddr2 pc2-6400 vist performance platinum 4gb dual channel memory ccl price 63.59.

[andrewtyson]

forgot to put the mother board that ccl put in their vhp66 quad core system is a foxconn 946gz 7ma-8krs2h the memory was 2x 1gb ddr2 5300 667 mhz ccl vale sticks. i dont think they sell this now .....

I've checked the manufacturer of the new motherboard and everything you have should work, there are no visible signs of any incompatibility issues.

Do what Kav has mentioned above & post back with your results.

[andrewtyson]

nearly threw through window so took to computer repair shop. thanks for all input.

I don't understand at all....

We have all listed way for you to fix your PC and all you seem to have done is get more upset and throw your rattle out.
Why go pay some guy to fix something you could have fixed for free?

If I can fix something I will, if it's my PC, Car, Light Fitting, Leakey Tap, Desk, Cupboard. Anything!
If you can fix it your self why not.
You keep saying your no 'PC Buff' but if you put a new MOBO in you must have a basic idea of what's going on making anything listed on this page a breeze for you to do.

End of the day it's your PC so do what ever you want with it. I just don't understand why you ask for help and ignore everything we suggest to help you.

[andrewtyson]

i tryed wot youve all said and still not work.
i put the old mother board and memory in and it works .
so i must be doing something right, mabey the things i bought are faulty,
i will have to see wot they say when they get to look at it.
yes i threw the rattle out of the pram but there is only so much you can do, you can put in and out all bloody day but if still not work, you have to draw the line.
thanks to every one for info.

Well you didn't tell us that you had

Yes you can only put in and out so many times but if your doing the something over and over again and it still now working try something new??

I wasn't having a go mate.
As you'd not said you'd tried anything that we had suggested... that lead me to what I said.

You have tired it with only one stick of the new stuff?

Have you tried it with the old RAM, changing the voltage of the RAM to fit the new RAM. Turn it off and put the new RAM in?
Only just thought of that.

[andrewtyson]

after all that messing about ,
it was the board that is faulty,
ive just emailed ccl for a returns letter so can take back,
i need another but wont bother with that make of board again.
thanks
