Solved iRush Pro Monitor Problem

[Faceofjoe421]

So I tried to setup my new iRush Pro, but nothing happens ( it is completely on ) but it justs says No Signal, I think this is a graphics card problem, please help.

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Well, you have an H chipset with a K processor. I think that means you cannot rely on the on-processor graphics and must use the Radeon 6770 video card.

Go to device manager. Do you see any yellow exclamation points or question marks?

Look under "sound, video, and game controllers". What do you see?

 

[Faceofjoe421]

I can't even see anything on the Monitor so can not install using my CD unless I guess what is there, I know it isn't the monitors fault, as I tried two different ones and both said "No Signal"

It came with the Driver CD Install, Motherboard (and drivers) CD.

I think I might just get a refund and get this one:

Then get both of these to bump this Edition to Windows 7 Ultimate.

I trust e-buyer more than Novatech anyway.

That Zoostorm PC has problems:

Small case, probably cramped.

2 memory slots---how much will it cost you to put 16 GB of RAM into it??

Motherboard manufacturer: unknown.

Without more details, I wouldn't even consider it.

You probably have made an error on your Novatech. Read your documentation. Welcome to trouble-shooting.

I could try upgrading the case as this is pretty cheap, and then move everything over.

8GB of RAM will do me fine (if I were to consider upgrading it will cost £100, I read the manuals and everything, didn't help.

You seem to have lowered your RAM sights considerably from the 32 GB range.

Hmmmmm................................


I think you are foolish to replace a new case, but it's your parent's money, not mine.

No need to attempt to troubleshoot your existing purchase if you'd rather not.

 

[Faceofjoe421]

The reviews on the other Zoostorm PC's are actually pretty positive, I don't know much about computer hardware so I would rather not get a new case or upgrade it if I know this computer will run fine for Gaming (Crysis, Crysis 2), etc.

Back to the Dell XPS 8300 again:

This looks amazing, and only £650.

I don't mind bumping the RAM later, and it will cost an extra £20 for a Wireless Card.

Are you connecting the monitor to the video card or the motherboard's video port?

This is just an example,



Number 1 is the motherboard ports and number 2 is the video card.

 

[Faceofjoe421]

This is just an example,

View attachment 187673

Number 1 is the motherboard ports and number 2 is the video card.

Well there was only 1 Dark Blue port that the monitor wire could fit in and I plugged it into that securely.

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Well there was only 1 Dark Blue port that the monitor wire could fit in and I plugged it into that securely.

So the question is:

Where is that blue port?

On the video card?

Or on the motherboard back panel?

 

[Faceofjoe421]

I'll try to upload a picture of the case.

 

[Faceofjoe421]

I am thinking between the Dell XPS 8300, Zoostorm or this pre-built ebay one

Galaxy Z68 Motherboard I7 2600K Gaming Computer PC 1tb 16gb DDR3 GTX 550 TI 1gb | eBay

The e-bay seller has very good positive feedback (5000), whilst only 10 voted as bad.

I basically just want a Gaming-PC that can handle games well.

 

[ignatzatsonic]

I basically just want a Gaming-PC that can handle games well.

Your brand new PC with a 2500K processor fails to "handle games well"??

If it is defective, return it.

If not, why not evaluate its gaming performance?

The Dell has issues that were beaten to death in your other thread.

The Zoostorm is dubious for reasons I already mentioned.

Buying a PC from Ebay based on "feedback" is a questionable proposition, particularly when you apparently don't know anything about the performance of your current PC.

 

[Faceofjoe421]

The Dell has issues that were beaten to death in your other thread.

If those reasons are not being able to upgrade it (I do not really need to upgrade it) the current specs are fine for me (the only thing I will upgrade is the Hard Drive - SSD).

Your desires change from day to day.

Two weeks ago, upgrading was at the top of your list---now it's another story.

Three weeks ago, you had to have 32 GB of RAM. Today, 8 GB is enough.

You are going to have great difficulty overclocking that Dell, but maybe today you no longer care about overclocking either.

And for all you know, the existing PC is a better buy than the Dell. But you'll never know if you don't start it up.

I didn't have to have 32GB Ram (it was just for Virtual Machining), but I could leave that out.

I don't want to overclock either due to overheating and I don't want to risk breaking any components.

I don't like the sound of Novatech the reviews don't look very good along with my experience of it.

The only upgrade I would like is an SSD.

After this setup, if gaming still fails then I will have to upgrade it (but I doubt it).

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Well, if you don't like the sound of the Novatech reviews, why did you order it? You spent weeks deciding.

You have yet to establish that the Novatech doesn't perform well.

All you have established is that you can't get it running.

What is odd is that you are more interested in buying something else than investigating what you now have.

Well the reason for not sticking to the iRush Pro is that my Parents have got annoyed that it didn't work, and don't want to repair or replace a part using Novatech's support, they'd rather refund and get another one.

Plus just from the back, something is loose and inside the case when it's meant to be outside the case (the other 5 clips were outside, while the top one was inside.

I think it would be easier if I stuck with the Dell, I think those specs are good enough for games, plus I haven't got long until christmas comes up, so I have to be as quick as possible.

What makes you or your parents think it doesn't work?

Sorry for repeating myself.

PCs are not quite like plugging in a new electric razor.

If you are unwilling to even investigate, try, or open a case, I wonder what you will do when your new SSD arrives?
