20 Most Recent ASUS M3A78-CM AMD 780V AM2+ Phenom FX / Phenom X4 / Phenom X2 / Athlon X2 /AM2 Athlon 64 X2 / Athlon... Motherboard Questions & Answers

Hello
If you know that the display is working, (you've tested it on another machine or similar) Then the issue is with the machine obviously.

Lets begin by removing all the RAM from the machine, (Unplug first of course, and press the power button so that any remaining power is released)

After you have removed all the ram from the machine, plug it back in and power on, it should BEEP.

Turn off the machine after you have gotten tired of beeping (just turning it on and hearing the beep is enought, if you don't hear a beep there might be a more serious problem, but more on that later)

Plug in one of the Ram modules. And power on again. you should get picture now as long as the machine beeped before, if it doesn't try the other module.

By now you should be getting picture out of the machine, if not, the problem is possibly the video card, cpu or mainboard.

Unplug all the extra devices on the machine, only leave connected, Powersupply, mainboard, cpu, ram, video. disconnect all the cables going to dvd drives etc.

Try turning on again, if you still don't get anything, remove the video card, if possible try another card, power on without the card and turn off again, plug in the card again.

You should have gotten the machine working by now, by trying another video card, if not, the problem is either the cpu or the mainboard.

There is a Clear CMOS jumper near the mainboard battery, removing the battery is not a good way of reseting the bios, best way is to use the jumper on the board.

is this windows 7 32-bit OR 64-bit
you will need 64 drivers for all your hardware if you have migrated from a 32 to 64 bit operating system.
Windows7 64 bit still has some major bugs with certain sound cards.
Asus has updated drivers available at thier website, but they dont have them for all hardware, just the most current.
Hope this helps, post again if i can answer any more questions..
Regards!

is your machine installed a software that freeze all existing data if so remove that first in-order your newly software installed be save.

the trick is that there is more than one spot where you can plug in the CPU fan, had the same issue with an HP myself. try a different spot to plug in the CPU cooler. mine was in the upper right hand of the board and was labeled CFAN. the one i thought was for the CPU (it was same color as the fan connector) was actually a case fan connection.

Try removing the new card, booting into BIOS, change your video setting the slot of your card: I believe your card is PCI-E, save changes and exit. When it starts to reboot, turn the computer off, install the new card and then try rebooting again. You may also have to boot into Safe Mode\Uninstall the original video driver or disable that video component and then try rebooting your system.

Hi Qqhampton

Your USBs are more than likely past their sellby date! A PCI card like this with some new USB ports would only cost a few £/$ and are very easy to install if you follow the instructions and an awful lot cheaper than a new motherboard!

get a pci card controller with usbs on it jim

could be a number of things.try totally different memory, cpu, motherboard. swap things out til you find the one thats the culprit.

CHANGE MEMORY (RAM)

If powering the computer off / on does not reset them, then no, they are physically damaged. If you need more ports, a USB hub is your best bet. I would get a powered hub as them provide better support as you add devices.

better u can use usb back side bcz ur power is not coming correctly to the usb.if u still using like this may be it can damage ur pen drive to.better use motherboard usb port

uninstall the driver and the update ur windows copy... let it pick the driver from windows update.

are you building this pc or have you used it previously and just trying to upgrade it...you can find your manual here

the problem is that the mother board you are now using has a 4th wire that sences cpu temp this allow the heat sink fan to change speed to get this to work correctly you will need to replace the fan with a 4 wire style. what is happening is your not getting a temp siginal back to motherboard so the fan controller think it hot and send full power to fan alll the time the stock fan in hp systems is not very good any way .Get a good heat sink and fan to fit your new board ebay has them very cheap 5.00 to 20.00 this will all so increase you system temp and all get the proper cooling when you really need it.

Vista may be the problem. I used to have vista for couple years but actually downgrated to xp again!
You should download a program called "glary utilities" it is a free download.
It will clean your registry, optimize registry and boot up times, spyware and adware removal, system defrag, temp files cleaner and way more!
This program will dramatically help improve boot up times.
Also Check your start up items to see what is being loaded all at boot up time. You are able to disable some programs and delay others as well. There is also a setting on glary utilites that does this

This is the Asus site for Windows Vista drivers for your board; if you are using a different o/s then you can change it on the top of the page & it will list the drivers for that o/s. Hope this helps & please take a moment to rate this solution fixya. Thanks.

I'm glad that fixed it!

(Posted as a solution so that you can rate the response.)

AMDFan, update to the most recent BIOS and that should fix the problem. It fixed death88scyth's issue, I see no reason as to why it won't fix it for you.

That's wonderful. Wish you happy gaming... :)
