Error Booting New Computer

I'm currently attempting to build a computer for the first time. I bought all of the parts:

Processor: intel pentium d 805 smithfield
Motherboard: intel boxd945gntl socket t (lga 775) intel 945g atx
Hard drive: western digital caviar se16 wd2500ks 250gb
Memory: corsair 512mb 240-pin ddr2 sdram unbuffered ddr2 667 (pc2 5300)
Dvd rom drive: benq black burner

I received all of the parts and began assembling. Everything seems to be in place, however when i boot up the machine there are four beeps. The machine begins to load up the bios, and then it just shuts down. Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be happening? Thanks.

Hard Drive Booting Problem - Unexpected I/o Error

First i installed my liquid cooling system for the first time and things went well, then later about 6+ months i decided to do a double radiator system (working pretty good with temps) but when i put everything back together, including a new sata 1 tb seagate harddrive. Now i can't boot up at all. It says there is an error coming from the hard drive and now it says there is another error saying it can't boot up because of an unexpected i/o error. Btw my primary harddrive is on a ide cable while i have 2 other hardrives (including my 1 tb) installed. I tried alternating the ports. But nothing is working. Also the error is included when i try to reinstall windows vista.

Computer Not Booting, Monitor Blank, No Beeps

I having trouble booting my computer, when i turn on my computer there no beeps, the monitor is blank, all the fans are running at full power, the power and hdd led are both on, my dvd-rw has power but my dvd-rom does not (the dvd-rom is new got it two days ago), optical mouse light up, no light on the keyboard, all the hardware looks fine, i took every thing out of the motherboard blow out dust then put the cpu, memory and video card back on and try booting it and the same thing happens no beeps and blank screen. I then reconnect every but did not connect the ide cable to the dvd-rom and try booting it and the same thing happens but this time the dvd-rom has power. I’m not sure if it’s the motherboard, the power supply, the cpu or the memory.

After Booting Monitor Goes Straight Into Standby Mode

I recently got a new case, and after removing everything, and installing them into the new case, i get a blank screem. The computer appears to be booting, but the monitor goes straight into standby mode when i turn it on. Whilst i had the case open, i installed a new heatsink fan on my 9800 pro, which i thought may have been the problem, but i have used an old 4000xt, which was previously housed in this computer. Still, blank monitor. I've already tried it with just the old 4000xt in, without soundcard and 9800 pro (the old one is pci ops: ), should i try it with just one stick of ram as well, or without the hdd connected. I don't think it is a broken monitor, as when i remove the cable from the gfx, i get a 'no signal' error on the monitor. Update: i've managed to pass post and beep, but the monitor goes stright into standby with either gfx, well it is in standby, and doesnt turn on shall we say - when i turn it off, and on again, its on green for a few seconds before it goes onto its orange standby colour.

Deleted The Partition By Accident, Data Still Remains

I was reinstalling windows the other day on my desktop and i by accident deleted the partition of my external hard drive. I have ran scans from the wd website (it is a 2. 5" wd passport) and it detects the files as they existed there before; but once it finds them it wants to charge me $120 to get it off. I also tried partition magic- it recognizes the drive and the used space on it, but won't let me partition the drive without wiping it clean (at least not by simple right click -> create)

Can anyone recommend me any ways to re-create this partition without having to format it on either windows or osx (or any way to do it without having to install linux for fdisk? I hear from an it friend that this will work, but avoiding having to install a new os and learn how to use it).

Monitor Will Randomly Go Black

The problem that is occurring is when i play wow, my monitor will randomly go black, but my computer stay on. All of the sound and background apps such as ventrilo will cease, and i am forced to restart my computer via the restart switch. This started occurring a few months ago, but it went away. Unfortunately it is back again. I've already restarted my computer about 6 times in the past hour, and have tried a lot of things including resetting the cmos, re-seating both my ram and video card, even changing some bios settings, all of which didn't do anything. I haven't tried any other games then wow, but i'll start up bf2142 or cs:s and see if it does it. I'm not certain as to what would be causing this "black screen" to occur. Maybe it could be the power supply? Ram? I've already determined it's not the video card, as i put my old 6800 in, and it still occurred. What's weird is that i just got burning crusade, and i played it all last weekend from friday - sunday with no problems.

Monitor Goes Black At Random

Ive read sooo many different posts like this one but couldn't get any help. Basically it only happens when im playing games, but only certain games like world of warcraft, warcraft 3, flyff and others. However when i play games like counter strike 1. 6 it works fine i could be on for over 12 hours ( ppl say my comp over heats, so i don't think that the prob. ) I recently bought a new 21" lg monitor and +2g of ram making it 3g. *When it dose go black it makes a loud static noise it comes in may different sounds witch is really weird to me. Also i have head phones and when i take in them witch is what i do when it stops n the middle of something important i can hear myself through my headphones. Also it doesn't always go black it might just stop i cant really explain it more then that.

Usb Cause Monitor To Go Black

Sometimes, when i plug a usb device into my front usb ports on my case, it will cause my monitor to just go black. The blue power light will stay on, but the screen will just stay black until i reboot. Turning the monitor on and off seems to do nothing. Another interesting point about this is that the usb plug doesn't even need to be fully plugged in to make the monitor go black. All that it needs is for the metal to touch anywhere near the usb port to cause the monitor to go black. My second issue is not really that big of an issue, but still an annoyance. When there is a usb device plugged into my computer during boot-up (normally a wd external hdd), it will usually (if not always) cause the boot-up process to freeze on the motherboard display screen (i can't recall if this is before or after post, but somewhere in this time frame). So i just get stuck looking a big gigabyte n-series screen infinitely until i remove the usb device and try rebooting again. Any tips or suggestions to either of these problems is welcomed.

Monitor Keeps Blinking To Black

I'm using fedora 10, nvidia legacy drivers, twinview dual monitor setup. My left monitor keeps blinking to black. My right monitor is behaving 100% perfectly. This just started today (or at least today's the first time i ever noticed it. Sometimes it'll go minutes without blinking and something it'll blink three times in 3 seconds. I swapped out the vga cable and it's still happening. I also dusted out my computer today, so it's not dust on the graphics card. How can i figure out if it's happening because of the drivers? Or some kernel upgrade or something like that. Of course, i still have to try another monitor in its place to see if it's the monitor. To be clear, the power isn't going off, the screen just turns black and my right monitor somewhat blinks as if linux is saying - switch to just using this monitor. Then it goes back to displaying what it should be.

Pc Monitor Without A Video Signal - Black Screen Bios

Upon starting my computer, it doesn't always start, it just sits with a black screen not loading the bios and the monitor claims there's no video signal. It's been like this for less than a week now consistantly. So, i'll reboot and everything is suddenly fine and the bios loads up and windows is good to go. Last week i added a gigabyte wireless card to my pc which i believe might have caused some some problems. I took the card out yesterday and i haven't seen the problem comeback so far. I'm really baffled as to why something like this would happen whether it's just the card or if something relating to my motherboard is bad, like the pci slot. The wireless card worked fine and everything. What should my next step be to figuring this out, should i put the wireless card back in? Any tests i can run to see if a component is going bad?

Computer specifications:

Msi k8ngm-v board
Athlon 64 3000+
Xfx 6600gt
2 512mb gskillz ram sticks
Audigy se soundcard
Gigabyte gn-wp01gs wireless card
Seasonic 330watt psu
80gig seagate hd

Monitor Goes Black But Led For Power Stays Green

I have a dell 17in monitor that will show a pic for a second then goes black but the led for power stays green and doesn't change to amber. This means it still thinks it is getting information but will not show anything. The back-light is going off so it looks as if the monitor is off but the green light begs to differ, anyone have any input on how to fix it ? It does this on multiple computers.

Dell Lcd Monitor With Black Screen Problem

19" dell lcd monitor with black screen - what is the electronic cause of this monitor problem?

Answer:- usually, it's the backlight, which can be confirmed by shining a torchlight into the darkened dell monitor screen. You might see a dim silhouette of the desktop area if the computer has booted up. Replacing the backlight should solve the problem. The other reason (electronics) could be dry joints on the monitor's inverter board. This can be the case if your dell monitor has a bright & blank screen. Dry joints cause voltage drops, which can result in a black screen.

Radeon Hd 5670 Problem Black Borders On Monitor

Why does my new radeon hd 5670 card make black borders on my monitor? I just installed a new xfx radeon hd 5670 1gb video card into my old shuttle pc, and it's awesome, but, when i set the screen resolution to 1080p, it has a 1 inch black border all around the edge of the screen! Please, someone help me figure out why this is. So far, xfx has been no help. I uninstalled the old xfx nvidia geforce 8600gts 256mb card and removed it. I restarted my machine with the new card, and installed it using the ati catalyst driver installer i downloaded from xfx. It's working awesome except for the black borders, which are driving me nuts. Here's current specs:

Shuttle small form factor sn27p2 box with standard motherboard that comes with the kit

400 w shuttle power supply
Athlon 64 3 ghz dual core processor
4 gb ddr2 ram
400 gb 7200 rpm hd
Xfx radeon hd 5670 1gb
Asus 22" 1080p lcd monitor with hdmi input
Windows xp x64

The monitor came with a dvi to hdmi cable, and that's what i'm using. My old nvidia card worked perfectly that way, just much lower frame rates.

Monitor Error - Not Optimum Mode

So i have a syncmaster 2233sw and everytime i open a blizzard game such as starcraft or warcraft, the monitor displays the error, "not optimum mode, recommended mode: 1920x1080, 60 hz" then after like 20 seconds the screen goes black. Answer:- select your monitor's resolution to 1920x1080, 60 hz (if ur monitor supports that) and also run the game by configuring the game's display settings to 1920x1080, 60 hz. It'll work fine, first check if ur monitor does have 1920x1080, 60 hz compatibility

Pc Is Not Booting

Pc Not Booting

I need some advice as to why my pc is not booting after i moved it 5 feet into a cabinet. I unpluged everything to move it into the cabinet. After reconnecting all my devices i turned it on and it was working fine. I put a cd in to listen to music and after a couple of songs the machine locked up. Now when i try to boot the systen preforms a disk checks, finds no errors, acts like it wants to boot, then asks which mode i want to boot to, ie safe mode, last known config, or normal. I have treid each of these choices and all that happens is the entire process of disk checking begins. It keeps going around in circles. I have tried reseating all the cables and all my pci cards thinking this might help, but i am having no luck with anything. Can anyone give me some advice as to what may be causing this mess. All i did was move the machine 5 feet.
