****ing PC won't work properly.

Terry

I had an old motherboard sitting here for the past couple of years, came into a few quid, and decided to stick it in a case and buy the rest of the parts needed. CPU, PSU, RAM etc. Just cheap stuff. Nothing fancy.

Not my first time doing this, so I knew to make sure everything was compatible.

So I finished putting it together this morning, plugged it in, and it started. The motherboard light came on. The fans worked. Just nothing on the screen. The keyboard lights don't flash either.

Took out the new graphics card and tried the VGA port. Still nothing.
Read the manual (see attached), followed the instructions to the letter.
Tried a new CMOS battery. Swapped out the RAM. Reset the internal clock.

Nothing I've tried has worked.
Any suggestions?

Motherboard: Asus M4A78LT-M LE
CPU: Athlon II X4 635
RAM: 2 x 4 GB DDR3 1333 (G.Skill DDR3 PC3-10666 Ripjaw Series (9-9-9-24))
Xilence M303 heat sink
Asus NVidia GT610-SL-2GD3-L, Silent Cooling, 2GB DDR3

Can you access the bios? If you have no display at all how did you reset the clock? Does the network port light if you connect a cable?

I reset the clock using the instructions given above by old_aussie. It was in the manual.

I never thought to look at the network port. No, it doesn't light up when the cable is in.
