Hey guys.
Setup:
Motherboard: Asus p8p67 DELUXE (rev 3.0)
CPU: Intel i5 2500 @ stock speeds, idle temps 25~30, load temps 38~45.
Graphics: Gigabyte GTX 590 @ stock, temps 30~35, load 60~75.
PSU: corsair HX750.
Storage: 1 60gb SSD windows & essential programs drive.
1 60gb SSD wow drive.
1 2tb WD caviar black Fraps drive.
1 1tb WD caviar green, games drive.
Problem:
When booting my computer, it turns on, fans spin, leds light up, motherboard checks RAM, GPU, Boot drive (leds light up to indicate this). However the computer never displays anything, my screen is on, and does NOT display a no signal error, and it maintains a powered on state, (if there was no signal it would go into low power state).
My computer has been operating for 3 months with these exact parts, perfectly, and over a year before i changed from a GTX 570, and to a rev 3.0 motherboard, without issues.it
I am able to get past this issue, all i need to do is restart, or power on and off the computer several times and if i get lucky it will post/displays it posting.
The issue also occurs when the computer switches of the screen after being idle, when i move the mouse or press keys on the keyboard the screen will switch from low power state to active, but display a black screen but i can notice a feint illumination, which indicates it does recognize my input and is turning on, just nothing gets displayed.
My G19 screen allows me to monitor the cpu, ram and gpu stats and all the seem normal during the issue. No temp or usage issues.
What i have already tried:
I tested all pci-e slots with the GTX 590, aswell as my GTX 570, i switched out all the ram sticks testing them each. Nothing worked.
So far i can conclude that the GFX arnt the problem, the pci-e slots wernt the issue. Power supply works (GTX590 led system would indicate insufficient power).
Im gonna try resetting the MOBO bios.
Anyone have any ideas?
Update:
I finally got it turned on, and this time it sent me straight to BIOS (i hadnt reset the bios yet), the bios was reset automatically? (i assume this, as the date was changed to 1/1/2005), i continued to boot from my hard drive, which it did, no problems however allot of the icons on my task-bar (next to the clock, windows 7) are missing.
I have no idea what is going on, i have a feeling it might be my boot drive since windows 7 is acting iffy (missing icons, and running slower then usual), or it could be the Motherboard Bios, i have no idea. but if it is the boot drive, why would that mess with the monitor displaying anything? urgh this is a problem i have never come across, and have never heard about.
Update 2:
Just came back from watching T.V, and my screen was turned to low power state thanks to windows niffy features, i moved my mouse to activate my monitor via an input, and i see facebook for a split second before my screen goes black again, the monitor maintains a powered on state, and my G19 LCD shows cpu usage is normal and so is RAM usage, and my GPU temps are 32* and usage is normal for what was running did a restart and booted normally, but am seriously dumbfounded as to what the problem can be.
