Well, I guess it's really dead, I'm going to pack it up and send it back tomorrow.
I tried installing an old PCI Video card and that didn't work either. So I have now tried the on-board,PCI, and PCI-E video.
I also removed the mobo and hooked it up external to the case. No video and still no beeps.
As a despirate attempt, I even removed all of the Ram, so that all I was running was the CPU and CPU fan, nothing else at all!
It still didn't work, BUT the PC Speaker did beep!!! So now I know that that DOES WORK!
I've tried everything short of swapping out the CPU and mobo (I would if I could!)
Thanks for all of your help, guess I just got a dead mobo.
Change it for a Gigabyte. I like Gigabyte mobos :)
NUTS! New mobo, same problem.
I'm beginning to think it's the PSU.
I had originally planned to use a 500w ULTRA PSU that I bought new last year. When I went to hook it up, I discovered that the mobo had a 24 & a seperate 4-pin ATX connection, but the PSU only had a 20-pin and no 4-pin at all. I found another PSU from an old PC that had a 24 & 4 pin, so I used that one, but no video. After further investigation, I determined that this PSU was only 285w, so I'm figuring that's the problem.
Any thoughts? Could this be the problem?
You seem to be on the right track now.
X800 - 30Watts
X800 XT PE - 63W
Now in case you may want to upgrade.
HD4870 - 130W
GTX 280 - 178W
I wouldn't even think of using a power supply of less than 500 Watts with recent hardware. Odd symptoms though, normally an inadequate PSU just causes constant reboots.
Train, sorry I didn't follow what you provided.

That was a list of the power requirements of several video cards. As you can see it can be outrageous in my book.
Yes, that should work .
I didn't realize the PSU I was using was so low on power, but I was trying to get it to work with the on-board video, no HDD or DVD drive installed. Pretty bare bones, I'm still guessing (and stumped) that it is the PSU.
First check the monitor on another computer
Not sure about your power supply questions.
There is a minimum amount of memory required before a system will complete the POST, but don't recall how much is needed. If there is a problem within the first bytes of memory, (for example the system contains no memory or the system does not recognize the memory) I think that will prevent the Power On Self Test stored in ROM memory from yielding to the video BIOS. Check the RAM memory. Did you use the same RAM memory modules on the new motherboard? How many times did the computer beep without RAM installed?
thanks for the advice Robert
The Monitor, KB, & mouse are on a KVM, so I know they all work fine.
I have 2gig of Ram installed so that should be more than enough to boot. I tried removing both and each Memory Stick. It only beeped when I removed both, but I don't remember the number of beeps.
KVM? What's a KVM?
Check the documentation for the motherboard and Be sure the correct RAM slots are filled.
For example, if a motherboard has 4 slots for RAM, you cannot fill slot 2 with nothing in the first slot.
I could cry.
Bought a new PSU, still no video.
:mad:
This has me depresssed!
I bought a Coolmax VL-600B Power Supply - 600-Watt, MPN: VL-600B.
I have the mobo & PSU outside of the case (with the packaging insulating so it does'nt short-out anything sitting outside of the case).
I have the KVM video plugged into the on-board video (the monitor works fine (I checked) and the KVM worked fine with a previous test right before this endevour).
I've tried the Ram in all 4 slots (it beeps if I don't install the Ram, so I don't think that is the issue).
I also have the CPU fan plugged in and that's it. No HHD, DVD, or video card.
Am I missing something with the CPU requirements?
Phenom X4 9950 Black AM2+ 2.6ghz (quad, 64-bit)
I saw something about 140w requirement for this CPU, but I didn't know what that meant.
PLEASE HELP!
Bumming for Christmas!
By pass the KVM.
Had one with a bad port and that is how I found out. :(
Plus a couple bad cables.
