Bought a diy pc 7 months ago and it worked fine till few days ago. Asrock H61M/U3S3 mb, i3-2120, icute 450w psu.
(1) Tried to start it, chassis fan, cpu fan and gfx card fan run, but no video display nor any sign of post.
(2) So brought it down to sls and the repair guy could get some video display. He updated/flashed my mb bios and did memtest and pc worked fine.
(3) Came home (hdb) and pc still refuses to give any video display.
(4) Finally brought both pc (with power cable) and (monitor with hdmi cable) down together to sls again and repair guy got the pc to post and start windows by just pressing on the power switch.
(5) Reached home and start pc and still with problems of (1)
Nearly pulled all my hair out!!
Has anyone experienced the same problem or could recommend a reliable repair place?
hi, wanna to help you.
1.Have you check your monitor. Is your monitor is OK?
2. The pc you buy is it a new one or a second hand one. Sometime, the socket which hold Ram may loose . This may arrive with old motherbord or by carrying.
Display problem arrive when :
problem with ram or motherboard or Processor (cpu)
All ther 3 work together to get display. If ther is a fault with one of these item, you will not get display.
3. check all cable your if it well fix
4. check the power socket is OK, the place you use your pc.

thanks for yr help...
1. monitor is fine and can be used with my other desktop and notebook.
2.Brand new diy from sls.
3.Did every thing, reset cmos, use 1 stick ram (4gb) instead of 2, remove sapphire hd6670, hook monitor to mb to use cpu hd gfx but still no video display.
4. how to check wall outlet?
5. The thing was it post and booted into window 7 x64 fine at sls repair shop but at home only see chassis fan, cpu fan and gfx card fan running but no video display.
Today just bought and installed a seasonic 620w m12 bronze modular psu. Still no display.
I think have to go down to asrock agent at kallang and try for warranty claim liao.
no video display nor any sign of post :
For me it mean that your pc and Monitor light on but you do not get any image on monitor . There is a message on monitor : no signal.
1. Check the vga cable. the cable from monitor to pc if all pin are ok or if there is broken pin , this also may be one factor which provide no video display. ( while check cable remove pc plug from power/electricity socket as when there is electricity in PC. hardware in your pc may get burn)
According to information I get from you (above) The problem may be from your RAM.
Have you remove the rame clean the ram's socket with a brush and re insert in its place. (see on youtube how to do it)
2. You can also check on youtube .by type no display to get more information
3 . One solution , ask the technician / repair to be at your place as you have still problem.
On I forget sorry.
if your computer is still on warrenty tell customer care that you still have problem with your pc at your place.
Don't do anything if your pc is on warrenty let customer care know about it.
Hmmm, let's do a fast walkthru on the points, U DIY a PC, but couldn't get it to work twice at home, but twice it was ok at SLS repair shop...
1) Check yr home power socket, plug in another appliance like Fan etc, and see if it works, or try with another power socket. Avoid using those multi-plugs...
2)Can u recall if u brought all the same wire which u used at home to SLS. If not, likely u could have a faulty cable somewhere.
Thanks to all for yr help.
After installing the new psu, still couldn't see any display on monitor. Tried the whole night till 1am!
Gave up liao, but next day my wife (doesn't know anything abt hardware) decided to try and turn on pc again.
It resetted a couple times and just decided to post and boot into windows again!
Dun know what's wrong but pc is working again.
