Welcome to PCHF Tomp2009,

Can you post the brand and model name or number of the PSU for us.

Thanks for reply it is a corsair cx750m

[phillpower2]

Not a good choice of PSU for a high end build such as yours, the CX is the budget range of Corsair that are intended for office or school type computers that either use onboard graphics or only the most basic of video cards, a Gold efficiency rated PSU from a quality brand is a must for gaming rigs, the CX also has a bad failure rate, page one of the reviews here is full of complaints.

Not seen an Intel MB without its own video ports for a long time until now and it really limits your options I[ICODE]m afraid as we can[/ICODE]t make use of your CPUs video to troubleshoot, if you have made sure that all of your modular cables are securely connected at both ends the only other suggestions I can make is to get your GPU tested or see if you can borrow a good quality brand 600W or above to test in your rig.

What psu would you reccomend looking at I pulled all the modules out gave them a blow out and re connected still the same thing do you think possibly the card has had it ? It’s a water cooled one aswell if that helps as is the cpu

[phillpower2]

I would hold off on any purchase until you have either tried the GPU in a suitably powered computer, had it tested by a tech or tried a lower spec GPU in your system.

Do you have another screen or video cable you can try or can you try your screen on another computer, a notebook that has the appropriate video port will do, the error code that you mentioned from what I have read suggests a power supply issue but lets not rule out anything atm.

Have you tried one stick of RAM at a time in the second slot away from the CPU.

Just reading your MBs user manual so give us a while and I will come back to you.

I have the ram in slots 2 and 4 and have tried them one at a time no luck will Have a good look at it tonight tried a few things today on it. The debug light is on vga only iv tried removing the small circle flat battery that did nothing will try a different card if I can get hold of one. Yes also tried on another screen i only use it on the tv tried the pair of them nothing. Thanks for time to go through all this it really is appreciated

[Tomp2009]

Also the gpu isnt plugged directly into the port it’s got a extender cable if that makes sense because it wont go sideways in case dont know if you would call it a ribbon cable or not

[phillpower2]

That`s the only problem with such high end components, nothing is straightforward and so much can go wrong with them.

Not sure what you mean by the extender but if that has failed that would cause the GPU to not be detected, the only way to check this would be to remove the MB from the case and try a barebones set up outside of the case.

While not ideal it would be better if it were just a case of the PSU not being good enough for the GPU because the card itself is a cracker and as you will be well aware very expensive to replace.

Ino i was on the verge of buying a new one before is there no way of using the cpu as graphics to get actually into the computer

[phillpower2]

Gotcha, GPU Riser Card.

Your MB does not have any video ports so no sorry, as I said previously, it has been a long time since I have seen an Intel board with no video ports, one of the reasons why I always pushed people to pay more for an Intel build was because of the onboard video safety net.

[Tomp2009]

So is that board not that good I purchased this pc a couple of months ago second hand maybe worth putting a better board in

[phillpower2]

The board is ok but at nearly £300 when new you would expect it to have video ports.

Before doing anything I would have the MB out of the case on a large piece of cardboard and the GPU connected directly into the PCI-E slot on the MB.

Let me know if you want the barebones set-up information posting here.
