Why can't She post?

[PartyWire]

Hej, so i recently bought a bundle of things, It included a G41M-P28 Motherboard, that now seems to have problems... So the problems is that the board wont post. I rendered it to the motherboard by using a different CPU from another build, a new GPU, different PSU, Different ram in each slot... Nothing, the board wont post. So i was wondering why wont the thing post even though everything lights up, the GPU i have shows the green LED that it has power. when i power it one, everything spins and things... but no picture... The Gpu i'm using is from my personal rig, so that is not the problem why it isn't showing the picture. any ideas why?

Does it have on board graphics you can try?

Do you have some particular error codes, etc.?  Have you checked all outputs of the card?  I only ask because my board won't show BIOS output on anything but the HDMI.  After it passes basic POST it switches to DisplayPort.

It doesn't give me anything, no picture at all... I tried all the output of the card from DVI to Display port. But nothing, On my own rig the card works fine with not problem.

ohh wow.. lga 775 I bet the motherboard is dead it wouldn't be a surprise, I guess its not new right? I would check the caps on the mobo.. that's the most common thing on these motherboards, if they have a bulge on them or something else its probably that

[PineyCreek]

What CPU is being used here?

 

Older board, no diagnostics on-board, but it does have a VGA port if the CPU you have installed works with that.

 

Do you have the 4 pin auxiliary power connection connected to the motherboard?

 

What GPU do you have?  Is the PSU sufficient to power it?

All caps are fine. Noting bulging, everything is flat.

the CPU is a E6500 and the other one i tried was a E8400, Both worked in another LGA 775 Board. There is a VGA port on the board but i doubt the board has GPU i know that the CPU's both don't have IGPUs.
And yes 4 pin was connected.
The GPU is a older one, HD 7850. and The PSU is a 700W PSU that works fine. It just a test PSU btw. I just test things like GPUs or Boards with it. It has served me well in the past year.

Mmm...do you know your monitor's good? (just covering all the bases here).

 

Have you tried resetting the CMOS/BIOS?  It's possible the last owner had a CPU with an integrated GPU and the BIOS is set to use that GPU that doesn't exist now.

Monitor works fine, I'm using it Currently to test the other PC under load and stuff.
And No i haven't tried resetting the Cmos/Bios... I'll do it now. I'll let you know what happened...
ohh, also Couldn't it be physical damage like linus demonstrated in one episode... Bent pins can cause i CPU to not work...

Definitely possible.  That would be on the CPU and not board though.  You stated you had tried a couple of CPUs.

I'm testing the PC as i'm writting this... And i can tell you that the cmos clearing didn't work...

what kind of ram do you have? I know one time I had the 1600 mhz everyone said its gonna downclock and its gonna work but it didn't

I've got one stick that is 1333Mhz and another that is 1600Mhz, tried both in single channel... Nothing still, Dual channel also nothing...

btw.. I just saw that you have an integrated gpu.. just connect the vga and probably that should do it

Chipset

• Intel® G41 Chipset
- Supports FSB 800/1066/1333 MHz.
- Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (Intel® GMA X4500)
- Supports Microsoft® DirectX 10

Ohh, that must haave sliped my sight... I'll do it right away.

and use only the 1333 ram for now.. you'll try later running both

Thought you had already tried the VGA?  Hope it works for you

Nope, VGA didn't work either...

I have been using the 1333 ram for all the testing because i know that most 775 Board don't like 1600 ram.

well... then most likely you have a dead mobo, I rly doubt its anything else, I've had a computer with lga 775 before and I changed 4 motherboards in 6-7 years. soo.. yeah..

What about the pins? couldn't they be a problem...

well just check if they are bent, could be

Ohh boy... It has a little bent pin paradise on it... One place has like i'd say a good 15-20 bent pins that have been bent into place really badly...

Luck for me, There is only one or 2 pins that aren't bent into the same height as the others.

I've been dealing with it for a hour or so... I was wondering could it be the bios? maybe it's bricked...
