DrewDigity Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Ok so I installed a new motherboard ECS P4M800PRO-M motherboard with a Intel Duo Core 2 E6300 Processor with all my old compentents. 2 IDE hard drives, 1 IDE CD-ROM, ATI Radeon X1600 Pro video card. When I power up the machine it turns on fine, but nothing is displayed on the screen. I had dual boot working perfectly before I switched the Motherboard and processor which I was told was compatible with OSX86. Does anyone know what could possibly be giving me this problem? I've tried hooking the monitor to both the VGA port on the Motherboard and the Graphics card and still get nothing... Please help!

altievane Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 since we have the same board but you have a proc. which is Core 2 Duo so your MoBo is a ECS P4M800PRO-M PCB version 2.0, but mine is a PCB version 1.0. So when you powered up your PC, does the POST screen appears? or when you boot your DVD / OS X?

altievane Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 hmm, can you even access your BIOS? if not faulty Video Card? AGP Port? can you hear some beeps on your mobo?

DrewDigity Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've tried it with and without the video card and there are no beeps on power up. I hate to do it but I dropped it off at a Tech so I'll let you know the diagnosis Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30866-installed-new-motherboard-and-monitor-doesnt-work/#findComment-215608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDigity Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 I got an open box item from Fry's Electronics. Someone must have returned it and not told the store that the item was defective.
