Hi, im new to the forum and im preety much good with computers, but I have never gotten this problem and I dont know how to fix it. Im fixing my dads computer, I replaced his Mobo and RAM but now the computer video isint working. The computer will turn on fans,lights,everything. But the monitor doesint recognize that the computer is on it seems.

The monitor is fine, i checked with another computer.
The video card is fine, i checked with another computer.
the PSU is fine....
the CPU is fine...

So its ether the RAM,Mobo, Or something other that I didint cover.

Can someone help me diagnose this problem? Thanks in advance! ^_^

Hi pytis123, welcome to the PCHF!

It sounds like a power issue to me...
the motherboard may not be getting the right amount of power, either that or the motherboard bios needs to be reset.

Thats clearing the cmos jumper right?

put the jumper to 2+3 and then back to 1+2?

I tried switching the PSU's with my other computers, it still has the same problem...

Well that's strange.

Try removing everything but 1 stick of memory, and the video card - remove all cd/dvd drives and all hdd(s) and floppy drive.

If that doesn't boot up, try with another stick of memory.
