tactix Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 because if he hooks a speaker up ( if the board supports it ) you can debug the postprocess beeps without a display but by the sounds of it if the onboard leds aint lighting i would lean to it being a naffed mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways like you said its probably the mb thats messed up i think he should go back to where he bought it and ask for another one or for them to check it atleast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 ok we just hooked up the cpu to another mother board and it is giving the same results as the first, i have also installed a post card and when in the first motherboard it reads FF (the guide that came with the post card said that means a faulty cpu or a that the mb may be short curcuting(sp) with the case) and on the second it reads E0 meaning the floppy controler is ok, at this point im starting to think the cpu is bad but if the cpu was bad wouldnt the p6n motherboard (the first one) power on to a post or bios without a cpu?

jake Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 the only common denominator is the power supply could that be faulty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 i think we got it STANDBY CROSS U FINGERS and HOPE WE FIGURED IT OUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 success, thank you for every ones help: conclusion = after additional testing and swaping parts with a second mother board we concluded that the power supply was out putting the correct power and that the cpu was running just fine, but some where the the original sli mb something was not working correctly and thus we are now sending the mb back to geeks to get a replacement. PS- just a side note, i love msi but this is th second new board i bought of theirs that i had to send back because of a mb defect i believe this is due to the reseller but i dont know, pm me if ne 1 else is having problems with msi sli (p5n, p6n or p7n) plat. boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarf Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 OKAY i think the guy mentioned about three times that the computer screen doesnt come on so how is he suppose to know if it posts??????????? BIOS beeps will indicate POST status. You don't need a monitor or graphics out for that.. Your posts are really annoying sometimes. --> @OP grats on getting it working.

stanni Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 My point exactly. I beleive the 8800GT has it's own power connection did you plug that in? I had the same problem when I got a new PC, the idiots at PC world hadn't plugged the gpu power cable in lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
