Motherboard Problem I have a chaintech 7aja2e motherboard, and when I start up I have nothing on the screen, the monitor stays in standby mode. There are no beeps when I start up, the cpu fan comes on, it checks the cdrom drive and shuts it off, and the floppy light stays lit up. I have checked the ram, the video card, the monitor and the cpu. I was just wondering if anyone could throw some ideas my way to see if I could get this hunk of crap running, thanx.

Make sure you have the cable that plugs into the back of the computer from the monitor screwed in tight. Also make sure the cable on the back of the monitor is screwed in tight and also that the power cord on the back of the monitor is pushed in all the way.

I'm almost certain you're not in standby mode. Does the computer stay on when you get the no signal message? Do you hear the fan blowing, do you hear the disk drive spinning? If not, I think your system has completely shut down. I'm thinking maybe a virus or some hardware/software conflict is stopping it from completing the boot cycle.

Try getting into the Bios or System Setup to see if the LCD Stays on and the computer stays on. Turn the computer off, then hit the power button to turn it back on. Look at the lcd screen and it will tell you what key to hit to go into the Bios or System Setup. Go into it and let the computer sit for 10 minutes or so to see if it shuts itself off.

If you are successful with the computer staying in the Bios or System Setup lets try getting into Safe Mode and see what happens. Turn the computer off and hit the power button to turn it back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see the SAFE MODE option. Select the Safe Mode option and let the system boot up. Safe mode will look different to you. The icons will be bigger and the lcd screen darker, but that's normal. If you are able to see the desktop in safe mode just try opening up MS Word and maybe let it sit for a few minutes to see if it shuts off.

If safe mode was successful, then try booting it normally. If it fails, we know we've got an issue.

The motherboard has a 4X/8X AGP port. Probably, it _automatically_ detects an 8X video-card, and uses it in 8X mode.

Depending on the options you purchased the laptop with, it either has an integrated video circuit into the motherboard or a plug-in video card to the motherboard. If the laptop works fine with external monitor, your motherboard or video card is defective. Your LCD display is probably O.K.

Its totally ur internal CPU problem.
checkout ur motherboard, microprocessor & fan also from wellknown person.
Dont do anything at home.

as a starting point.

The different messages from the two monitors are because they just operate differently. There is no video signal from the motherboard. Something is preventing the system from starting up. This can be due to a bad power supply, dead processor IC or failure of the mother board itself. If you don't have access to spare parts to try so you can isolate the cause, a service shop should be able to check it out for some small diagnostic charge. Then you can either have them do the work or get the replacement yourself and install it. Parts just plug in, so once you know what needs to be replaced it's not difficult.

Hee you are.Hope that helps. www.chaintech.co.kr/download.php?sm_id=4&file_nm=7VIF3-4.pdf

check your ram first see if it is fixed properly and change ram slot.

Hi, check the cable from your computer tto monitor, then check that the video card is installed properly.
If these fail your video card is most likely dead and need to be replaced.
