everything seems to power up but no display

[naraine]

I have the xfx mobo 680i lt sli, plug in everything and it powers up and is running normal, mobo lights come on, fans hd, dvd drive but no display. monitor not receiving any signal.

Does any one know what may be the problem?

I am having a similar issue and am awaiting a response from XFX support (ticket number 143229).

The only way I am able to get SOMETHING is by removing the BIOS battery, re-setting the BIOS and firing it back up. When I do this, I get a message saying:

Award Bootlock BIOS v1.0

Copyright (blah, blah)

BIOS ROM checksum error

Detecting floppy drive A media... Drive A error.

System halt

After I get this, I restart and get no response. I don't have a Drive A and have disabled it in the BIOS, but can't get in to disable after I reset the BIOS. It's driving me crazy because I was able to install the OS and additional software. During an install of one program, it said the file was corrupt. I attempted to install another program and blue screen with power down. When I restarted from that, all hell broke loose.

Post full system specs.

have you tried with 1 stick of ram?

If it's an overclocking or BIOS setting problem then resetting the CMOS will put you in the clear. If your BIOS is jacked up then you'll need a new board. Draconian, I know, but it does happen.

That was the first problem I had with my first 680i Mobo. I exchanged it, and changed nothing else. The new board booted fine. This seems to happen a lot. I now have two nearly identical systems built on 680i's, both run quite well. I've only had issues on one of them when the X-fi XTreme Gamer sound card is installed.
