Hi *,
I'm a HW novice when it comes to assembling.
Parts involved:
- GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L Mobo (LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX) rev 2.0
- C2D E6750 (2.66 GHz, 4MB L2, 1333 FSB)
- mobo has no built in graphics card.
- SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 3850 512MB (GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16)
- Transcend 2GB DDR2 800 MHz (single DIMM of 2GB)
- Seagate 80GB HDD 7200rpm
- 400 W power source (iBall LPE223-400, cabinate is this)
- PS2 keyboard
- USB mouse
- Dell 19" monitor (Dell E198WFP, Flat panel LCD)
- As we couldn't get past the first screen so the PC has no OS of course. :(
Problem is once everything was put together and switched on the PC, Gigabyte welcome screen appeared on the monitor (see the pic below). Pressing any key on the keyboard had no effect and that screen remained on monitor forever.
The assembler (I had a guy from a local [reputed] shop come and put it together) assured me that keyboard was properly connected and so on.. (one of the LEDs on the keyboard was on). Also at the boot time mobo gave one single short beep, which according to mobo manual means booting went thru fine.
After he gave up. I tried following 2 things I learned from all the forume:
1. Connected only RAM (in Channel 0, slot 1), CPU and VGA card to mobo and booted up. Same result.
2. Cleared CMOS for abt 10 minutes (had removed battery during these 10 minutes). Repeated step 1. Same result.
Unfortunately I bought the mobo in US (from newegg) and I'm in India. So far I've been unable to find where is this "Gigabyte support" in India.
Any help is appreciated..
Thanks
