The Tech: K8n Neo4 MB MSI, athalon 64x2 cpu, 330W PS, 2 SATA HDD's 4 gig ram, 2 cd/dvd burners. PCIe video card. No display after post. I have replaced the graphics card, Swapped the ram, booted with all drives disconnected. verified the monitor is good, checked all connections. I haven't pinned out the PS for proper voltages yet. All fans and lights are on on the case, the key board does not light. The OS appears to boot up, This is from observing the HDD light. The system is about 2 years old so I'm familiar with the drive activity during the boot sequence. (XP Pro SP2) At this point I am suspecting the MB. Any thoughts would be welcome before I spring for a new motherboard.

300 watt psu that is two years old in that system would have me suspicious right off the bat.

Try a psu of 500w or better
