new ga-ep45-ud3p boots beeps and no bios comes up

[azr999]

Hi
I am relatively new : I have set up the following:

• ga-ep45-ud3p mb
• Radeon HD 4350 graphics card , new - tried in the pciex8_1 and pciex16_1 slots (no compatible mb to test in) . currently in the 8 slot so could take out battery
• Samsung Syncmaster 940MW LCD display ( tested with another one and another cable)
• memory oztech 4gb dddr2 pc2-6400 vista (2 sticks of 2 gb each) tried each one independently
• Coolermaster sileo case
• Intel e8400
• coolermaster 500w extreme Power Plus 500w (rs-500-pcar-a3)
• std keyboard and mouse (ps2 to make it easy)

currently only my old HD is plugged in (from gigabyte ga-pe18000 I think was the model) - its a new 1 TB WD Black.

Press power on and the follwing happens:

1. case fan starts
2. second or so later cpu fan starts
3. then 6 phase LEDs come on (2 green, 2 yellow, 2 red)
4. then longish beep (trying to figure out if this is one or more), may be 2
5. the LEDs go off
6. its now probably less then 25 seconds
7. fans still all on with led off

NOTHING on the monitor ,

Any suggestions?

Try the stuff in my sig. You wouldn't be the first one to get a cable conenction wrong or totally miss one (happens to the best of us...). Also resetting CMOS may fix this.

Thanks but had pretty much tried all of that - as there is no display - I cannot fiddle with much besides cables

1st thing, does the video card have a red led on the bottom of it? my 4850 does, not sure what the trouble sequence is but it should blink once if all is well, at least mine does every boot.

Best thing to do if your having an issue like this is. Take the everything out of the case, lay the mobo on top of the box it came in with the foam pad. Hook it up using only 1 stick of ram in the slot closest to the cpu and just the video card. See what happens. If you get bios then shut down and hook up HDD's and CD drives and test, can even install windows if you want. Then rebuild it in the case.

Thanks for the responses - went back to the shop - it was a faulty graphics card!
