I know this is a fairly old motherboard but it's still a huge upgrade for me.

I did a search, but only able to find a similar thread posted back in 2002 and there was no answer to the post. So here we go.

I just recently received this motherboard and it comes with a Athlon XP 2100+ processor. I installed them in my case with 430 Watt power supply, 256mb DDR Ram, Hard Drive, CDRom, PNY GEForce4 MX440 64MB video card, and floppy Drive. When I power up the system, the motherboard green light comes on, all the fans start spinning, the harddrive runs up, but I get no lights on the front of the computer, no lights on the keyboard, but (Most Disturbing of All) NO VIDEO, and no Beeps.

I have tried the following:
1. removed the RAM and video card. I heard repeated long beeps. That means the tiny speaker works. However, if i put back the RAM but not the video card, no beep.

2. replaced the aforementioned AGP video card with a cheapo PCI video card that works on another computer. No beep, no post, nothing.

3. placed the PCI video card in all PCI slots. No luck.

4. removed the onboard battery and shorted the jumper to clear the CMOS. Problem still exists.

5. tried both Jumper Mode and JumperFree mode. No luck.

6. tried both CRT and LCD monitors, still no luck.

I'm at a complete loss. I have two more PSU, one 300W and one 250W. That's what i will do next. Besides that I have no idea what else to do. Any suggestions?

TIA.
