Hi all,
If you guys cant fix this problem then its time to go to a shop.
My son is building a new PC from scratch. Everything is brand new and just out the box. The only exception being the hard drive. The HD has came out the older PC.
Everything has power, the Dual (bridged) LSI Graphics cards whirr away. Alas the monitor displays the error message "no signal being sent to monitor".
Everything appears to be connected in the right place using the plan drawing that came with the Mother-board. All components are in the right place and connected.
Now, for questions, then answers. Bear with me if my questions appear stupid.
1) If a PC starts up with the BIOS, then how does the old HD know what the new MoBo settings are?
2) If the Bios are correct, then how does the HD recognise the new Graphics cards. LSI (latest GCs) are supposed to be plug and play, but we have the CD with brand new drivers.
3) Is it possible that the CD/DVD writer is on slave as opposed to primary and how do I know which is which?
No doubt there will be other questions and answers that you need. Below is whats been installed.
1 x Akasa AK-860SF AMD COOLER Socket 754, 939, 940 & AM2
1 x ThermalTake Soprano VB1000BWS Black c/w 2x case fans +USB2 + +window NO PSU
1 x AMD CPU AM2 Athlon 64 Dual Core 6400 Retail Box NO Fan BLACK EDITION Socket AM2 940 PIN ADX6400CZWOF (3yr Manufacturer's Warranty)
2 x BFG GeForce 8600 GTS OC 256MB DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI
1 x 650W Silent ATX PSU +SATA cable 12cm fan 24 pin
1 x Foxconn C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H Motherboard Skt AM2 AMD Sempron/ Athlon nForce 590 SLI GbLAN ATX
1 x OCZ 4GB Kit (2x2048) Reaper HPC Edition DDR2 PC2 6400 800MHz CL4 Dual Channel Patent-Pending Reaper HPC Heatsink
Hopefully gives you all some understanding of the PC.
In anticipation.
Puddle.

Being as I have just opened my eyes, my typing may be sloppy but i'll try and answer what I can.
Firstly tell Cam that he owes me £20 lol.
The hard drive doesn't know the new BIOS settings and it would have no busisness knowing.
As I have never tried to setup SLI before I don't know whether this is true but id think that windows would have to be installed before setting up the SLI. That includes the drivers aswell. (If you already have windows installed, just pop the disk in, install the drivers and you're set, please note I haven't setup SLI before so I don't know if you need to install something special)
Im not too sure what the problem with be if the CD/DVD writer was on primary. But anyways to check take it out of the case and on the back next to where the IDE plugs in you should have 6-8 pins with a jumper covering 2 of them. Check on the side/front of the drive to see what setting the jumper is on. The only time you'd have a problem with the CD/DVD on primary is if it was on the same IDE as the HDD. But generally you put the HDD on IDE 0 set for primary and the CD/DVD on IDE 1 set for primary.
