Hello I am having trouble getting video to come up on my Abit KN9 SLI Motherboard. I used a diagnostic card to see if any error codes came up and the only error code it gave me was "NO CPU". So I ordered a new Processor thinking that might be the issue. I installed it and I still have no video. Ive tried a different video card different ram, resting bios, resting PSU, testing PSU with multimeter and nothing. I have not tried a new PSU but i do not believe it is the PSU. However there are 3 LED Lights on the motherboard that light up in this order:
WHEN PLUGGING IN POWER WITHOUT TURNING COMPUTER ON:
1, 5SVB RED LED when plugging in power cord,
2, ATX4P1 (SLI_PWR1) RED LED when plugging in power cord,
TURNING COMPUTER ON:
1, VCC GREEN LED stays lit
2, 5SVB RED LED Stays RED
3 ATX4P1 RED LED Goes off


This makes me question why the 5SVB led stays on and the ATX4P1 light goes off. Any ideas?

another thing if i unplug the ATX4P1 power from the motherboard the LED light is Red before and after turning on the computer same as the 5SVB (ATXPWR1) LED.

Not able to find anything on your motherboard beyond places to (not) buy one (newegg and amazon show out of stock)... That makes me question the quality of that board.

I am going to move this to the motherboard hardware area of our forums so you can get help from the experts there.

Where did you gt the Mobo? It's old technology and ABit has been out of business for some time.

I took the ram out to see if it made any beeps and the first time I took it out I think I heard one beep or so but after trying again it has never made another beep is there anyway to tell if the motherboard even has an on-board speaker?

A ABIT KN9 SLI is a AM2 socket motherboard, as such a Phenom 2 x4 965 is not supported, it takes and old Athlon x2 CPU's.

Well thats great I swear I read somewhere that Phenom 2 965 socket was supported. This would explain my issue. I will update when I order a new cpu
