Re: Help

^^

Did you check it with a spare RAM.?? I mean try interchanging the RAM into the solts and find out the real culprit (whether it is the RAM or the slot)..

1.) place RAM-1 into slot 1 and try booting up your PC
2.) place RAM-1 into slot 2 and try booting up your PC

likewise for the 2nd RAM.

Cheers n e-peace....

@ op - do you have 2x 2GB ram modules ? they ran fine together before ? or you have newly installed any ram module ?

Re: Help suddenly screen turn off and monitor shows no signal

if the ram modules ran fine together for 1 year before then they should be fine and also the slots as you have tested them - try remounting the cpu then.

BTW, when yu use 2x ram modules and get no signal can you hear any beep sounds - if yes, post the sound pattern here like for eg. one long, short or 2/3 short beeps etc.

i have to switch off power and then system boot normal

the beep sounds indicating to memory module issue - test each ram modules using memtest86+ app, remount the cpu properly.

Problem with memory modules.
Plug in one at a time, and run memtest, after disabling USB legacy support in BIOS.

USB legacy support has anything to do with memory issue ? never heard anything like this so asking.

USB legacy support, if enabled while performing memtest, affects the result of memtest. So, it is always advisable to disable USB legacy support before performing memtest.

the same problem was with my PC too..
my GFX card was GTX 460.. problem was in GFX card only.. i got it RMA'd... now working good..

PS: also check by changing the VGA/HDMI/DVI cable which ever you are using..

RMA = Return Material Authorization.
In simpler word, 'servicing'.

You mean only the screen goes off while the system is still running?

Remove the graphics card and try with your onboard graphics. See if the problem still continues.

this error usually occurs when cpu can't get enough power due to OC/Undervolting of the cpu from bios - make sure you did not have any sch settings in Bios and try to load bios optimized default setting, save and reboot - once again go into bios and then overvolt the ram modules.... also what's your cpus load temp - it would be better if you can post a HWinfo sensor screenshot.

after setting up the ram volt system seems to working fine

here is the cpu temp file

one more thing i know this is not the section for this question but can any one help me i want to buy 630 of nvidia and i am confused in galaxy and zotac please tell me whic will be a value for money card

so now you can use tow mem modules together without any kind of issue ? anyway, acc to the screenshot the vcore ie cpu voltage is just too much ( 1.536!!) - lower it asap to around 1.3v.

if you want a nvidia gfx card then between Galaxy and Zotac - chose Zotac but better would be if you can post your budget for the gfx card.

For 4k, HD 6570 is the best option. HD 6670 1GB DDR3 is a much better option for 600 bucks more.

all-right, use the power saving +50mv option first, save and reboot and post the cpu temp and vcore option values.
