Hello, your Socket 775 build seems to have the fans spinning fast, yet the GPU and motherboard aren’t producing any output. It’s possible there’s an issue with the GPU connection, power supply, or driver setup. Double-check cables, connections, and ensure everything is powered correctly.
High-speed fans mean total focus. The 775 unit was mostly silent, so missing a beep suggests hardware issue—motherboard or CPU likely. Anything beyond that should trigger a specific beep code.
Fans typically spin fast before and during the POST phase, then slow down when curves appear or temperature thresholds are met. Inspect all hardware thoroughly—look for loose devices or cables—and consider removing unused components like extra RAM to determine if POST is achievable.
It was my very first time turning it on, someone else had already suggested it might be the CPU issue, so I’m planning to replace it.
