This is what I have: AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.8GHz AM3 Processor Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H 785G mATX Motherboard 450W PSU I double/triple/quadruple check all connections and everything is plugged in correctly. When I press power, fan's spin, case LED lights up, PSU fan's spin... But I am not getting any video display which means no BIOS. The mobo does not make any beeps either which I find odd/scary. I tried bare-bones start up (PSU powering mobo out of case & heat sink fan, w/ VGA plugged into integrated card and 1 stick of RAM) I'm running out of ideas
It sounds like it could be a bad monitor. Can you swap it out or try it on a different system? Has this system ever worked or are you building it for the first time? Dick
I figured out my problem... I was neglecting to power my CPU.... Newb mistake for me... lol Got it runnin now!! Thanks for the input anyways
