I still say try re-wiring it outside the case making sure you isolate the MB. As I have posted before I have a processional PS tester if you need to test it we can make arrangements to meet. But from what you said I don't think it's the PS, well what is the wattage? does it match the requirements of the MB?
Also when you hookup the monitor to the video card does the monitor show that there is a signal? I have confidence that if you re-wire it, check the CPU and memory are correctly connected, you will get results. Hopefully the ones you are after, thus please report back On Tue, Oct 8, 2013 at 3:06 PM, Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tuesday, October 08, 2013 10:21:25 AM dragorn wrote: > > > > Thanks Joe and Dragorn for your replies.
