No Signal means the Monitor is not receiving a connection or communicating with the Video Card. If you placed a Video Card in one of the slots make sure it is pushed in all the way. Your video card is not in correctly or it is faulty.

If you can boot to the Bios or System Setup make sure you have things enabled such as the pci slots, usb ports, the hard drive on Auto so it can configure itself, etc. There might also be a video setting that you need to tweak.

SOURCE: Connecting an IDE HDD to a SATA port using an IDE to SATA converter

Not complete product...need to buy additional adapter for IDE to SATA power source.
IDE drive will have to have the power source hooked up as well as the adaptor hooked up.
Installing the adaptor only will not work. Your computer should have the 4 pin plug for the power to the IDE drive, other wise you will have to buy another adaptor.

SOURCE: Asus motherboard M2N-E will not power up

It could be a memory card too. I would start by pulling the memory cards and see what happens.

Is there a connection on the motherboard for your hard drive?

SOURCE: Asus motherboard cannot detect Seagate SATA drive

Does your internal speaker beeps or stops telling you there is no hd detection?
Try to put another hd.
If you are using Windows reinstall it.
Does the red light blinks
CHECK out the power chord to hd and all power connections from psu

SOURCE: PC shuts down on Asus P5sd2-vm with LG DVD Rw (GH22NS30)

If you are sure that it works with other DVD drives, then I cannot help.

But if a system shuts down suddenly, the first thing I would check would be the CPU temp. At around 97 degrees, Intel processors shutdown to protect from excessive heat. Go into the setup (some call it BIOS) and check cpu temp.

If that's not the problem, then you should consider things like drivers problems, virus infection, broken hardware, compatibility issues. Try to search technet site at microsoft for a similar problem.

Good Luck!

SOURCE: ASUS P5S800-VM Motherboard configuration

Serial ATA drives are pretty much plug and play. You just need to install them and set them up as a primary drive in your bios settings. The IDE devices can be connected on the same ribbon cable but need to have jumpers set on the back to determine which device is primary or slave. If the IDE devices are on different ribbon cables then most likely the hard drive jumper setting should be set to master or master (single drive). The CD-ROM drive jumper on master. BIOS should detect all drives You also need to assign the boot order in BIOS. CD-ROM should be the first boot device to load and install the new OS onto the primary hard drive.

My Mother boards asus M4A78LT-MLE but when computer start fast screen appear " this cpu is not supports please call asus costumer care" and pres F1 enter bottom to star contnue, processor fan...

Click here to view the list of supported processors for the ASUS M4A78LTM LE Mainboard.

The AMD AM3 Phenom 2 X4 965 3.4GHz is not supported as it is a 125Watt or 140Watt Processor.

The ASUS M4A78LTM LE Mainboard supports up and including a 95Watt Processor.

Therefore you either need to downgrade, purchase a Processor that is supported as shown in the list or purchase a Mainboard that supports your AMD AM3 Phenom 2 X4 965 3.4GHz Processor.

I myself would go for an ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 Mainboard, its a good companion for that monster of a Processor you have got.

See if you are able to return the Mainboard and purchase the ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3
Click here for it's Specs.

There is also the cheaper ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO
Click here for it's Specs.

Tell me how it goes!

All the Best!

Power Reaching the MB but NOT reaching the cpu fan

Either replace the line to the fan (or get a new fan with a longer cord )or leave the side door of your CPU off a bit and maybe put a fan beside it.

ASUS NCT-d

Hi, have you tried removing the CPU and using a Air Jet Spray can to clean all contact pins and pin holes? The problem sounds like a loose chip. So also check all on board chips are seated, including RAM chips. Air spray can be bought from most Computer stores. Goodluck mistyman
