    Hi -
    Looking for some advice and help. My PC is turning on, there is power going to the motherboard and HDD, but no video at all - no BIOS, no nothing. I swapped in an old PCI video card with no success, so it's not that. I also tried a different known good monitor, so it's not that also.
    Can anyone advise? I really need this box up and running.
    Here are my specs -
    Abit NF7-S V2.0 Mainboard Socket A S-ATA
    nForce2-SPP/MCP-T2/Ultra 400, ATX,1394
    AMD Athlon XP2800+ 2.083 GHz
    Socket A 333MHz, 512KB Barton

    PowerColor Radeon 9600XT 128MB DDR
    AGP, ATI 9600XT, DVI-I, TV-Out, Retail
    TwinMOS PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB CL2.5
    Memory184-P (for DDR-PC400MHz)
    Samsung SpinPoint P80 120GB S-ATA
    8MB cache 7200RPM
    Thanks!

    Strange one. Re-seat the RAM and CPU perhaps to make sure they have good contact. If that doesn't work then disconnect everything from the motherbaord (including all USB devices) except the RAM, CPU and graphics card just in case something is holding it up.

    Are there any beeps when you switch it on?

    OK, I'll try that. Rather worringly, there aren't any beeps.

    I had a Shuttle die on me in this way, I'm sorry to say... You'd turn it on, power would go to the mobo, fans would spin up and nothing would happen - no beeps, no signal from the GFX card, no POST, nothing... The same CPU/RAM/GFX card/HD, etc are all happily still running in a Soltek SFF I got after RMAing the Shuttle so I'm pretty sure it was the mobo (I tried powering the Shuttle temporarily with the PSU from my desktop and that didn't work so by elimination...)

    Yeah, I bit the bullet and got a new mobo today, I'm all sorted now!
