My mobo doesnt beeps nor video output

that's easy.
1 beep? you said BEEPS, so tell me its not one beep then leave off how many beeps in a bundle.
1 beep is RTC Coin cell dead. replace. it. page 7 in the manual
2 beep no RAM found
3: beeps. mobo bad. (or?)
4 beeps. 1 ram bad or more. try 1.
5: beeps same as 1 above usually. bad battery for sure.
6 beeps video chip failures. remove card if in PCI-e slot.
7: CPU cache mem. failures, rare but if VRM bad, not rare.
i guess you meant this, ?
Vostro 230 Mini Tower Desktop Computer this is really what it is.
That beep tells you , it sees something very serious wrong.
There are 2 possibles and many tests. do you want to learn?
forget the HDD, unplug it first , focus on FANS first.
both fans, PSU and CPU must run and stay running. my guess not.

• PSU Bad.
• or
• MOBO has overloaded the PSU.

so all tests are to prove 1 or 2. out.
easy no?, a binary choice.
what a tech does next is strip the PC down.
pull out the cards that are in PCI (or express) slots. run now? fans?
pull the power cables from all SATA devices, hdd ,dvd, all.

unplug all USB devices, (overkill but is done for 1 odd case )
test the mobo with CPU in and 1 stick or DDR ram'
only then try each stick of ram 1 by 1.
this is all SOP, standard op. procedures in any shop.
if a module of any kind shorts the PSU sees that and shuts it self off.
the CPU if overheated, too shuts the CPU off, dead saving its own bacon.

if stripped down PC,
just mobo, CPU and any stick of ram makes the PSU shut off
we test the PSU by itself
it that passes the MOBO is bad.
never seen any CPU short ever, VRM's lots.


the power lamp has 5 states of color.
page 7 in your manual if you want to look.
solid blue is normal others bad, black or flashing color.
RTM pg 7.
here it is, at Dell, cost nothing to read.

Hi, Thanks for using fixya.

Go into the bios stettings and check the intergrated video graphics are disabled. If you can't see the settings replace the motherboard again.

If you have any further questions regarding this matter feel free to post a comment or if you are satisfied with my answer, please give it a rating for this is the reason I do this work.

The one long-two short beep code is for bad memory, not for a failed video card.
Shut down your computer, remove one stick of ram, reboot the computer, and repeat for each stick of ram, until you find the bad stick.

good day sir, hi, its either your motherboard does not support 2 sata drives simultaneously or your motherboard sata port is bugged.
Choices:
1. get a bigger hard drive
2. use a PCI to SATA card for your extra SATA hard drive.
3. replace your motherboard.

Hope this may help.

Well depending on your bios version, it could be an array of things.

First try removing the video card and re-seating it.

Then re-seat the RAM.

If the problem persists re-seat the CPU.

Let us know the exact model of your motherboard so we can better troubleshoot your problem.

When you turn on your computer the system does a POST (Power On Self Test). If the POST sees an eror it will tell the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) and the BIOS will beep a code or display a code that indicated the problem.

Different motherboards contain different BIOS versions. BIOSes use different beep codes for problems depending on the manufacturer.

FIRST....... Make sure you remove the stock thermal compund (pasty/sticky stuff) from the bottom of the heat sink as well as from the top of the cpu.........

Second APPLY some ARCTIC SILVER 5 compound-ust a thin coat of it over the top of the cpu......use an old credit card.....keep it ff the sides and bottom though......it's important not to use too much........one little tube will do anywhere from 3 to 5 CPUs...!!!
(stock thermal paste/thermal compunds......**** BADLY and can cause a cpu to burn up)

reseat (properly) the cpu and carefull

Now make sure you're 24 pin or 20+4Pin Power connectors are connected, as well as your fans..........disconnect all your SATA Devices, and remove everything but the video card , CPU, and fans.......Now it should post (if all your jumpers are set correctly...........


IF it still doesn't post, remove the video card and reboot.

If it doesn't beep at all......... You have one of 2 things.........A DEAD CPU, or a DEAD MOBO

Just because it doesnt beep doesnt mean the vid is not gone

place board on a non metal surface hooked to
monitor
keyboard
mouse
powersupply UNPLUGGED RIGHT NOW
cpu with heatsink and fan attached
ram

plug power supply in (will not shock you just dont lick it ok)
if board does not come on take a small flat head screw driver look at where the power wire would slide on cross those two pins should come on. again will not shock you.

still no video try pci (most basic video mobos support) card
still no video could be cpu I have had several of these be bad caouse no video also
try anouther cpu same setup
still no vid mobo shot sorry

remove your video card and plug it again.. if it doesnt work..
try plugging ur video card to *********** board built in video card and then ur on-board video card to you monitor..

this is what the nvidia guys mentioned on their video while announcing the release of the 9 series

I SEE YOU MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT INSTALLING ANY DRIVERS FOR THE HD'S DID YOU?
GOOD DAY

Maybe a silly question to ask; but did you connect the processor power lead, as unlike some processors this needs a seperate supply.
