Hi st0ner, did you hook up the monitor after the computer was running? I would start by taking everything off the motherboard. Reseat the power connectors to the motherboard. Install 1 stick of memory in slot #1, reseat the video card and hook up the power wire to it. Hook up 1 cd drive and 1 hard drive. If you are running both drives off one IDE ribbon, jumper the HDD as the master and attach it to the end connector, cd as slave on the middle connector. See if it will boot. Try to find an addon speaker to put in so you can hear error beeps or post beep. Mike

After you reset the cmos, do you boot with all settings at default? Does your monitor support the video resolution you are using. Try shutting down at 800 x 600, then reboot and see if it comes up. Mike
