I have bought an Intel Media series board DG45ID.
I installed a Pentium D (775 socket) with a Corsair 2GB DDR2 (800 Mhz) mem. stick (in working condition from another system), connected a LCD monitor to the DVI port. The on-board green LED comes on when I connect the SMPS to the board.
When I boot, the cpu fan turns on but there is no video at all. I don't get any beep codes either. I have put in PCI-e video card thinking the on-board video is bad. Same problem - no video, no beep code. I have swapped the mem. stick but the problem persists.
The above testing done with only the bare minimum installed i.e. SMPS, CPU, Memory installed on the board.
I have checked Intel web site for cpu compatibility and my cpu is listed there.
I have come across DoA boards in wherein the board is simply dead - nothing comes works when powered ON.
What could be the problem; the cpu or the board?
Thanks for your help. Regards, -- Arun Khan
