[Help] Another PC building thread...

Surely the hdmi poin that is connected to the motherboard should be able to just output to the tv ? Is it maybe something to do with im not using a proper pc monitor ?

 

When I made mine I plugged the hdmi from my pc to my tv and it didn't work , so I used a VGA cable and changed the setting in display and sound then switched it over an it worked.

 

I take it you changed the settings on the tv not the actual pc ? I ll buy a vga cable on the way home and see how it goes * choking to get home and fiddle about with it. If i cant get it sorted im taking it to a local shop admitting defeat. Just dying to play games * sake

 

The best way to approach building a PC is to have two of everything. So try everything the same but change the monitor/tv. Then try everything the same but with a different cable. Etc etc.

Obviously it's not really practical to have two of everything but that sort of methodical approach is the best to troubleshoot.

 

I dont think his PC power's on.

 

Nope the output on the pc.

 

Had two different hdmi cables but only one tv. The old monitor i had was vga cable.

Have i missed something daft ? The motherboard has power definetly as well

How did you change that without seein anything ? Or u had a monitor changed it then moved it to the pc i take it ?

 

Nah I used the VGA cable and it was the default so I worked then I changed the out put to hdmi In display and sounds settings. Switched over to to hdmi and it worked

P.s for the sound I had to change it so the output was the tv

 

Not sure what's wrong, maybe do it again?

 

Cheers mate i ll give it a bash need to get a vga cable tho.

If this vga cable doesnt work its time to admit defeat i think cheers for all yer help

 

What stage are you at?

Whats wroong at the moment...i kinda build High end gaming PC's so let me know and ill try to help

 

Done the build last night. Computer powers up fans etc start motherboard has power etc. connected to my samsung tv via hdmi cable from graphics card but there is no signal. Tried two different cables.

Next steps are try vga cable, make sure stand off are in correct positions no affecting circuit, finally take the board out and try it with only power and ram. All that fails cry for a bit then take it to the shop

Any suggestions welcome

 

Have you got all the power connections in correctly?

I would check all the connections, check in case you have a standoff creating a short, try a different output cable.

But first I would try would be to disconnect the graphics card, and only using the motherboard output and seeing it that will work.

 

ok..whats the gfx card?

Does it need it owns power leads?

Is it a 1.3 HDMI cable?

Does Your TV support HD 1080p?

Is the Motherboard powered properly? ie 2 leads should be going into MB

 

Is the gfx seated properly?

is there a fan on the Gfx card? does it spin?

 

Games a bogey boys. Motherboard is * pins in the cpu socket bent. Like 2 wee pins absolutely * sick to my stomach just now. Need to order a new motherboard * ragin isnt even the word.

Cheers for all the help all the same boys much appreciated

 

Surely its just going to be a send it back get a new one job?

 

Yeah it will still be in warranty ? Just say it was broken when you got it

 

I think i ll give that a go but i cant see it workin. Think al just need to fork out for a new one . Still got the box etc. right now the computer is in creative computing get a phonecall tomorow more thank likely confirm its pumped but the guy says hes fixed the same thing before for people so a bit of hope remains

 

Just got onto amazon on the phone amd said it was faulty and they re sending out a new one ! Surprised how easy it was
