:angry2: Ok...I do this for a living, so you can imagine my embarassment...suffice it to say, I feel like a complete moron, and I am sure my issues are strictly menial. The problem is most likely so simple, that even I can't figure it out !
Anyway, I have an M830L (
http://www.pcchips.com.tw/product/M830Lv31b.html ), and the onboard video card has two MALE ports. So, how the hell am I supposed to SEE ? I have a perfectly good Radeon 7000 I can throw in it, but if I can't disable the onboard video in the BIOS, how can I use it ? *duh* I have never seen an onboard without a female port. Am I missing something here ?
I tried to buy some sort of female adapter, to no avail.
So, please spare me travesty of calling me an idiot, and point out what simple aspect I am missing to this equation.
--------------------------
I am also having issues with the jumpers. I followed the diagram that came with the motherboard, and the system won't stay booted for longer than 10 seconds, before it shuts off. I can only get it to boot when the RESET jumper is plugged in to the power section of the board. *** ?!!! HELP !
(is it my case ? I have a server tower, and the motherboard fits in it, so I would assume that this means the case is a standard ATX Form Flow)
I am using a 400W power supply, which has been approved for the AMD K7 (which is what I have), so the power issue doesn't seem to be originating from that.

Assistance will be GREATLY appreciated !
