Answer» I'm new to this forum. Ok, i have an unmarked tower,with a ga-ma74gm-s2 motherboard,with ddr 1066,am2+,pciex16, d33006, m2cpu and a 400w power supply. It has (6) sata2 ports. I have a WINXP sp3 sata hard drive i'm using to get this up and working . Not sure as to what i REALLY have with this motherboard new at building PC's. My problem is that everything is hooked up right,that i know of. #1. no video to monitor( checked monitors ,video card, LOOKS good) #2.power button does not shut PC down when pushed.( checked wiring connections,looks good.) So why am i having problems with getting it to show on screen? And why or what is causing it to not shut down when pushed. there are no beeps,fans are working! I have checked everything i know of. Help!!

It will not have any of the motherboard, chipset, Graphics card, Sound, Network, etc. software drivers installed for any of the hardware on the system. It doesn't sound like this is related to the problem. #1. no video to monitor( checked monitors ,video card, looks good) Have you tried it without the Graphics card installed? the motherboard has on-board graphics. A bad video card or a bad PCI-E slot can cause the POST to fail. #2.power button does not shut PC down when pushed.( checked wiring connections,looks good.) Power buttons are Soft power buttons. They signal the system to shut down. They sometimes do not WORK until the OS is booted. You can hold the button to FORCE the power off.
