    Default No video

    I had a past problem with my computer, and I was pretty sure it was the motherboard. It's a K9A2 Platinum, and I would get no video, and when holding the power button in it would not power off. I tried different pci-e slots, different RAM amounts, modules and slots, tried two video cards and nothing. The psu is a Corsair 520w and puts out 3.4, 4.9 and 12.1 to the rails so it checks out ok.

    I just installed the new motherboard and still no video with either card, in dvi, vga, s-video or HDMI. The only upside now is the board powers off after holding in the power button.

    Any ideas guys?

    The CPU doesn't even heat up, and its a new 64 x2 5000. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    If you have access to other parts, try everything separately. Have you tried another monitor?

    Yes. I've tried extra everything except for power supply because i know mine's good, and CPU because I dont have anoter AM2.
    In fact, it just gave me video. now its stuck at "starting up..." after picking Windows through my ubuntu bootloader.

    I had a "good" bestec power supply on an emachines do something similar. It's probably not the problem, but it is impossible to tell for sure.

    I don' know what took the motherboard or whatever it was so long, but I'm now into XP with 1 stick of RAM. Hopefully 2 will also work.
