    Hey guys, not sure if this is the right forum to post this problem into but I am having trouble with my computer. It is running http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2539 this motherboard and the computer will boot but I see no video on my screen. This problem occurred first when I had problems with the raid and the computer said it had a damaged raid and only way I could fix it was through reinstalling windows. The computer would run okay for about a day or so and then fail again. So then I decided to upgrade the bios and get rid of the raid and this problem occured. I have already checked the computer on a different monitor, cleared the cmos on the board, and checked if the fans are working correctly. What could be the problem?

    Before you toss it away, I would try installing the video card in the other slot and doing a CMOS reset using the jumper.

    You never know...it might be a good mainboard with a bad video card.

    i built the computer myself and its been running for about 2-3 years. i decided just to build another one but if i can get that mobo working i could just build another computer as a media center. Did you find out how to fix the issue?
